A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-23-03....Military Monday

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

Thanks, Mixer!

3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.

Thank you for posting their photos, mom - we have them on our prayer list - can I add their pictures to a future FR Vet group? (I think I probably have enough now to make Group #12)

Glad you all liked the rendition of America The Beautiful by Ray Charles. I'll have to play that one more often.

proves that you are a good person

Thank you. Oh well, Nietzsche (sp) says, "That which does not kill us makes us strong." It's true.

Anyway, my *troubles* are nowhere near what I know others are going through. That helps me shrug it off and keep going.

...seated - lower right - right?!

Yep. Even today I lean to the "Right." :)

Gotta go for a while. Maybe I'll return later with a "sea-story" about changing a ship' propeller. In the meantime, another photo of the type work we did...

Seeing that pic of your dad is making me want to find a pic of my dad and my brother in uniform and see if I can't have them posted here.

I say go for it!

Thank you both for posting pictures of the very *handsome* men in your life. I am grateful to all of our wonderful military people - please pass along my thanks!

.45MAN and I went to a decidedly *right-wing* concert (Ted Nugent and ZZ Top) Saturday night. Ted did nothing but praise our troops and our president in between songs (and *slam* the likes of the Dixie Chimps, Chirac, Schroeder, et al in language not fit to print here - LOL!). It was great.

There was a man sitting next to me who had come alone to the concert. In getting to know him, I learned that he has two sons, one of which is in the Navy. Between the Ted Nugent and ZZ Top sets, I told him to thank his Navy son for me for all that he does. The man was visibly surprised and told me he would. You could see the pride in his eyes. It was great!
