A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 200,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY










Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

yes, I wish I could say I got SO MUCH done on the home front.. but just not the case.

There is a real sense of loss when you cannot connect with people you care about.. for whatever reason.

at least for me

The new layout for Military Tribute is gorgeous.. you dont know how badly I wanted to post. I begged the librarians for dispensation for ONE 2 minute post. They said it was beyond their controls.. at “central”.

I'm really glad you like the new Military opening - thought it would be a nice change, and the perfect time to redo it. Happy to get all the rest of the regular thread toppers redone to match the main post, too. :)

This is so much fun, the way we’re all here at once.

Well, I met a soldier today. I have heard about this soldier for the past 3 months. She is the sister of my co-worker.

When my workmate and I started this assignment back in early January, I learned in one of our early conversations that her Sis had just joined the Army... then later heard she would graduate Boot in March.

So, last week she mentioned Sis was in town (”back home”) for 2 weeks on leave. Today, she brought Sis in so I could meet her. What an awesome moment! What a wonderful young woman! I could see her strength and commitment. So, I shook her hand and thanked her, also congratulated her on graduating Top of her Class.

Any questions? :)

It sure is Dolly. I remember when cable was out for a week. I was going nuts not being able to speak with my FRiends. It’s difficult at best.

I would be going NUTS!

I was without my laptop for about...ummmmmm...three days and I had to go buy a new one. I couldn’t stand it.

I used hubby’s a little, but it was like I “hijacked” it. LOL!

He couldn’t get anything done, because I was there all the time! :D

It’s been a while that we just sat around and chatted with each other!

Thank you for telling us about the soldier. Thank her for me for her service.

I get to do that occasionally and I love how it brightens their faces. It’s like they don’t hear it that often. A real shame!

Thanks (((Dolly)))
My son left for the Coast Guard, Monday. I’m having a rough week. :) I miss him. I cannot express how much. I’m really proud of him too! No flowers yet. I can’t believe you had snow. That’s not right. ;) Spring shows and winter tricks us and comes back. :)

I’m glad you got to meet your co-worker’s sister, dita. Bet your co-worker was very proud to show her off! Did you get to see her in uniform, or maybe she was in street clothes since being on leave?

She did say, “We really appreciate your support.” That was because I blab about how I love the troops to my co-worker and she tells Sis... LOL.

This soldier had a bad experience while in town, wearing her uniform. Some slavering pinko nutcase cut her off and started ranting anti-military crapola at her. Disgusting!

Anyway, she’s due to deploy to OIF approx. July.

Very proud!! She was in civvies. Maybe I’ll get another chance tomorrow and get a pic... don’t know.

Her demeanor was so straight up... I think she is proud of herself. I couldn’t hug her because I think I would have cried.

John's is changed, too - to match the coin background. I think you can certainly make some modifications in the main table, as long as the coin background is still featured, and the two tables (topper and main opening post) match. I sent it to your regular email address over the weekend, I think. Do you need it again? The text worked in regular FR mail because there are no line breaks in the text.
