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 100,000 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 or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest! We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

"Wear Red" Friday
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown. I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Last night I went to bed thinking we had 10" and woke up to find we had 12.
This is a foot of snow at my fish pond.
And here's a deer slogging through the foot of snow, scrounging for food it doesn't like.

Well, I was so glad to hear the report on Sweet Marie and Junior. I was positive that Jr. would fly today but he won’t go until he is sure he can make it. It is so cute her trying to coax him out of the nest. This has been most interesting. I hadn’t heard from you and had to leave to go to my Red Hats Luncheon. I haven’t read this whole thread....in all that time Jr. could be gone~~~LOL~~ maybe tomorrow we will have a “going away” party! Then what will we do??
Hope you had a good day.

Hi Navymom! I have only learned about posting during this last year. I truly want to assure you that you will never find a better place to learn or such wonderful people to help you. It doesn’t matter what question you need answered (no matter if its dumb, like some of mine were) the FRiends here say there are no dumb questions.
You will find out as you go along that you will never meet a better group of FRiends just chomping at the bit to help you! If I learned, I am 100% sure you will learn. Good Luck, navymom....I am a Navy wife of many, many years ago. My sailor boy has gone on to be with the angels and God.

GeeBee, I just listened to Michael Buble’s “I’ll be home for Christmas” and big tears welled up in my eyes. Some music at Christmas does me that way! But I love it so much I will listen to all Christmas music. You have posted us some good ones....thanks~~~~~~~
