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!

Mama_Bear and JustAmys Pictorial Review of the Inauguration and FreeRepublic Ball
How to describe the W2 Inaugural Ball? Words fail me (as they so often do), so I will post photos and let them speak for themselves. It is my hope that they will convey just how wonderful and exciting it was to be a part of this momentous event!
~ JustAmy's Observations and Photos ~
"Jaban Shalal's companion (nephew or brother, not sure) told me that the media will not tell you but the citizens of Iraq have pictures of President Bush in their homes. The Iraqi people say "Thank you George Bush; Thank you America!" The Iraqi people love George Bush.
What a pleasure it was to meet so many FReeper FRiends and what a disappointment to miss seeing everyone.
While on my way to the kid's room, I saw Bob Barr but I did not get a chance to talk to him. He was surrounded by others. When I returned I could not find him in the crowd.
The DC chapter did a wonderful job on the kid's room. They not only set up a TV with kid's movies available but supplied coloring and activity books. Everytime that I checked it, the kids were having a wonderful time making new friends.
The band was outstanding. The music was loud and jivey. It seemed that all ages joined in the fun .... children, teenagers, young adults and even some of mature adults. :)
I was told that Jim Robinson even got out to the dance floor for at least one dance. Way to go Jim!!" ~ JustAmy.
JustAmy and I have more photos that we will post, and I hope, if you were able to attend the Ball and/or the Inauguration, you will post your photos or links to them here on the Finest thread, as well as your memories of this exciting event.
It was wonderful getting to meet so many freepers that I have long admired on this forum. My only regret is that I did not get to meet those who were unable to attend. God willing, I will have another opportunity someday soon.
And finally, congratulations and a Finest salute to President Bush and Vice President Cheney. May God bless and guide them through the next four years, and may God bless America and our military!!

Beautiful pictoral of the Ball! Thank you for taking the time to stop by our thread and post such a nice compliment.

Beautiful pictoral of the Ball! Thanks, Nan. I believe your request for Divine Intervention on my behalf gave me the energy I needed to finish it. :-)
HUGS!

I stop in and check on the thread from time to time, I just rarely post, but today I was compelled by all the wonderful pictures.
And Gabz...I break cameras...lol.
To: Billie
Billie, I got your mail....oh my gosh, I HATE spelling errors! I will make the corrections eventually (you can tell that I am under the weather, I would never leave spelling errors on a thread if they could be corrected, LOL). FWIW, I kept looking at "reminice" and thinking "that doesn't look right", but never did anything about it. LOL
Actually, I am not happy with the font attributes on my photo graphics. But if I changed one I would have to change them all. No biggie really, just not perfect like I like things to be.
Right now I need to take a break from the thread and lay down before I fall down. I'll be back to answer my pings in a bit. :-)
To: Mama_Bear
'How angelic is this???"
Only we know the answer!
Thank you for posting these pictures. I did not get good ones like that. Too much light.
Hope you feel great soon.

Terrific photos! Glad to have you home, *fuzzy*. : ) Thanks, I am glad to be home! I missed my kissie, squeezie, smoooochie hug SO much! I am feeling much better now that I have been properly welcomed home by louiewolfbear. ;-)
Time for me to take a couple Tylenol and rest for awhile. I'll be back. :-)
To: JustAmy
Only we know the answer! LOL! Well, she DID have her difficult moments, but most of the time she was a perfect angel. I would not hesitate to go on another trip with her again. She would LOVE Hawaii! ;-)
To: Mama_Bear; JustAmy
Thank you both (((((Mama-Bear))))) and (((((JustAmy)))))) for sharing your beautiful memories with us.
Just taking a few moments rest from moving (we're way too old for this - moving from one building to another in the same complex) to look at and enjoy your photos.
They came out great and are a wonderful way for the rest of us that couldn't go to live vicariously through your pictures.
To: AZamericonnie
ROFL!!!!!!!!
I truly hate having my picture taken - so I totally understand your comment.
