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
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!
~ Billie, daisyscarlett, dansangel, dutchess, Mama_Bear

Montage by martin_fierro
"BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us."
A change of pace today; a filler of sorts.... an email received some time ago from a friend: various quotes about love and friendship. Please feel free to add your own treasured gems.
Thank you, martin_fierro, for making this special montage for me to use today. I can't think of a better way to illustrate "Best Friends" than with FReepers' own photos, and the graphic you chose is perfect!
Of Love and Friendship....
- LOVE starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
- THE HARDEST thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
- DON'T FROWN. You never know who's falling in love with your smile.
- DON'T CRY over anyone who won't cry over you.
- What do you do when the only person who can make you STOP crying is the person who MADE you cry?
- Nobody is PERFECT until you fall in love with them.
- Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it.
- A BEST FRIEND is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.
- Most people walk in and out of your life, but only FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.
- GOOD FRIENDS are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
- Good friends are like STARS. You don't always see them, but you know they are ALWAYS THERE.
- When it HURTS to look back, and you're SCARED to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.
- TRUE FRIENDSHIP "NEVER" ends. Friends are FOREVER.
And Other Good Stuff....
- DON'T let the past hold you back; you'll miss the good stuff.
- LIFE is SHORT. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.
- REMEMBER, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted.
- EVERYTHING is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

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

Hitting the beach on D-Day
World War II
Hitting the beach, Allied infantrymen swarmed ashore along the Normandy coast of northern France on D-DayJune 6, 1944. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history. Hitler had boasted that German defenses along the coast could resist any attack. But he was wrong.

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Daisyscarlett; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nations leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.
Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

No rain in California's Central Valley (there shouldn't be!!) but we had lots of rain in April. Enough to fill the canals for the farmers. Maybe they will not have to start their pumps until August.

Hi, Billie, and Good Morning to you, and to all our glamorous Hostess-babes...you're all lookin' good in your silks and satins.
A thoughtful and thought-provoking thread today...you have a way of doing that...thank you.
Hello to all Freepers.
Here's a pic of Dubya givin' the Vice-President a tour of his Prairie Chapel Ranch, followed by something a very special man once said to all his young friends, way back when, on a glorious day in yesteryear:
The Lone Ranger's Creed
I believe:
That to have a friend, a man must be one.
That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.
That God put the firewood there but that every man must gather and light it himself.
In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.
That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.
That 'This government, of the people, by the people and for the people' shall live always.
That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.
That sooner or later... somewhere...somehow... we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.
That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.
In my Creator, my country, my fellow man.
