A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....05-27-03...Military Tuesday

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.   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 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 could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn'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 we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

THIS WEEK'S THREADS

05-26-03 MEMORIAL DAY - Remembering SSGT. Richard A. Fitts

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping'
The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

I bet that was tough.
I have passed that 65 mark.[68]
Had one heart operation, but doing good.
On the Atkins diet and all the stuff they check is just right they tell me. I stay active and work every day.
I take an asprine each day to thin my blood I guess.

Evening, jw - -

"p.s....the caption under the pic of the Vice-President and the Shiek is quite a mouthful."

Go back and check out the fact no Vice-President is IN the picture, but two Presidents are..:))

Loved those pictures I found - the gator is so cool, hanging around waitin' for a recruit or DI to fall in...but yeah - the whole series was funny.

Hello, Colleen.
The Coast Guard has one of the roughest jobs in the world - something many don't think about often.
In addition to the rescue aspects and bad weather, are all the boats trying to smuggle drugs and goods to shore.
Worse in that respect than a city cop who can perhaps find cover. A sea vessel is a sitting duck.

That was why I addressed it to Thinny and Billie..:))

Am sure it will make his day, and Billie commented on it.
After all, it is on her thread, making her 'responsible.'

Good night, everyone.

God watch over you, our military and our President.

U.S. President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) (L) and Sheikh Hamad bin Jassin bin Jabar Al-Thani (R), Minister for Foreign Affairs of Qatar, stand by as President George W. Bush (news - web sites) meets with Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar in the Oval Office of the White House, May 8, 2003.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I couldn't figure out the error until Billie pointed it out. Don't tell anyone!
