A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   I can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. 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 November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

Please join me today in praying for VICTORY for all of God's children on Election Day....



...Lord, thank you for the wonderful victory You have already given us. We praise You for Your mercy on America. We pray that righteous leaders would be lifted up on Tuesday, and that the wicked would be cast down. For Your name's sake, establish rulers in America who will maintain justice and righteousness.

Lord, sustain Your servants tomorrow, and throw the wicked into disarray. May YOUR will prevail, and the will of Satan FAIL! 'For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.' (1 John 3:8)

We pray that You would stir the hearts of Your people into action on Tuesday, to take their battle positions on their knees and in the world, that they might witness Your power as You charge ahead of us in battle. Be with Your people, Lord, and give us victory over our foreign and domestic enemies. Our adversaries may come at us in unison, but by Your hand, they flee in seven directions.

'For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.' (Deuteronomy 20:4)

Father, we cry out for mercy on our land. We cry out for the light of Your WORD and Your SPIRIT to shine upon us and pervade even the darkest corners of our country. We cry out for You to save us from our slavery to sin. Make our nation a beacon of light to the entire world.

Lord, we thank You. We praise You. We love You. We put our delight in You, for Your joy is our strength! Make us a nation of miracles, Lord! Make us a nation of faith. Make us a nation of right, and a people of prayer, where the lost can be found, the blind can see, the deaf can hear, and the lame can walk. Destroy every deceiving spirit in America, Lord, and bring Your kingdom and Your truth to our country.

To You alone be all the glory, majesty, dominion, power, and authority. AMEN.

Good Morning All!

If I forgot anyone I am sorry. I am in a training class and do not have my ping list (or mixed up letters) with me :-(

Good morning, Blessed. I wonder how many of us have already voted. I don't know which states do or do not have early voting (not absentee or mail voting, just early voting) :)

Outstanding! (And we will indeed be "out" and "standing"!).

I just got off the phone with Zenobia Davis and she will be at the intersection of 41 Bypass and Venice Ave. East at 4:30 PM as well.

Don't forget to bring your American flag. It's gonna be fun... !

Good morning, Aqua. Thank you for your vote reminder, too. I am a little nervous about some of the states - should quit watching the talking heads, I guess. :)

I owe you mail, Aqua.....will 'be there' this morning. :)

Thank-you for our daily reminder of our fallen heroes. May God have them in His loving arms for all of eternity and may He grant comfort to their families.

We need to give thanks to God that we are Americans and have the PRIVILEGE of voting for our leaders. May God and our consciences guide us to make the correct selections.
