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

Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. —2 Kings 6:16


At times our fears may loom so large
We long for proof that God is near;
It's then our Father says to us,
'Have faith, My child, and do not fear.'  D. De Haan

Faith knows that God is working behind the scenes.

I salute our veterans and all who serve in our armed forces.

This Christmas season I am especially thinking of all those who are away from home,unable to see their families.

I thank them for serving our country.To those in harms way,I pray for their safety.

God bless our armed forces and all who wait at home.You are the best.

I know, it just tears your heart out to think about the families at home that have to get through the Holiday's without their loved one that's overseas. We need to continue to keep them in our prayers.

Good morning all. Another Military Monday and a very short list today.

In memory of my fellow Vietnam helicopter pilots who were killed in that war the following were lost on DEC 8. God bless them all.

1970 WO1 John D. Bryant -- A/7/17 CAV, Age 19, Married, Miami, Florida

WO1 John Bryant's LOH was shot down by small arms fire during recon mission over 150 ft trees.

SCOUTS OUT!

Returing from Bastonge and Wilts Belgium/Luxembourg area last night with the Boy Scouts from Brussels.... We camped out at Wilts where the first contact between the Germans and Americans during the Battle of Bulge occurred in December 1944. Walking the battlefield areas and trails and seeing the landscape from our frozen camp site, a new general of American youth will have seen for themselves under similar weather conditions what the soldiers saw during the fighting. This is my last trip after 4.5 years of hauling scouts from The Netherlands and Belgium around in Europe to Battlefields from WWII and WWI during campouts year long.

Cold here. We had our first snowstorm.
Rant on:
Talk to my mother-in-law last night. She has tenants upstairs. The girl grew up next door to her, knew family for years. She now lives upstairs with a husband and new baby.

*%$#@$^& husband didn't help with the shovelling at all. No excuse either. He copped a tenant attitude. I'm so $%^$^#$ mad!

I shovel the neighbor house across the street. My husband shovels the neighbor next door. No questions asked. It just needs to be done. They can't do it.

And here my mother in law didn't have help. I can spit.

ok, I ruined the thread here this morning. Sorry. I'm just mad.

/rant.
