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. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

"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

I'm doing Pretty good. Thanks!
Wish I didn't have to go out today. But..;).

[GodBlessUSA]

Pretty!

[MEG33]

I had my arms full..was in a strange neighborhood..and scooting backwards up the steps to try to knock on the door for help was a real test..I could not stand of course. I called a friend instead of an ambulance..She came and called the ambulance..I always think with a little help I can make it..LOL My husband was 45 minutes away so I did not call him to come get me.

[ConorMacNessa]

LOL - I’ve been shopping ‘til the postman drops. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

What a scary experience on top of the injury! I do the same as you, just a little help when we need to get Help! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! For the most part I do the same. Isn’t technology the best! No crowds, just keep clicking. ;)

Morning Everybody! First post here. Am home recovering from a car accident (was hit head on by a truck). I’ve more metal in me now than a head banger at a Motley Crew concert. LOL. But in good spirits and on the mend.

What I’d like to ask is where and how do you folks find, come up with and post those terrific pictures and avatars supporting the military/Christmas ect. I’d love to learn how to do these type of things! And trust me, I’ve plenty of time on my hands......

thanks,
Terri

[MEG33]

Oh, Dolly..It’s bad enough the trees are damaged but no power is really awful. I pray they get it back sooner than expected..

Your tuba concert sounds great!

[MEG33]

Indeed!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning navymom1 :) Welcome to the finest!

I'm so sorry to hear of your accident. Prayers for your full recovery. You sure have gone through a tough time. Some on this thread are very creative and talented and make their own. Not me. ;) I do searches on google images and other places. I will send you a mail later if you like with how to do this.

[Aquamarine]

Doing a drive-by on my way to complete Christmas errands. Appreciate you doing double duty this week Gee Bee. Good work!

Thanks for the extra Michael Buble song LUV, am going to look for his CD today. Wish me luck!

Hope Billie is getting her computer problems solved, that's my Christmas wish for her.

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! Good Morning Aqua :)
I hope you find his cd.

Have fun shopping! I’m right behind you in going out shopping.

[navymom1]
