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

THE WEEKEND THREAD thru -05-12,13,14-06... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[The Mayor]

Absolutely.

Welcome Home

[Darksheare]

Especially this weekend since today is Mother's Day and people are visiting family and such.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you. It has been many years, but I will never forget them.

[The Mayor]

Your right there.

Have you seen my new blog? http://albanysinsanity.com/
I was just picked up by NewsTex and they are gonna pay me for my feeds.
Plus we have some candidates to run against the entrenched in Albany.
I am running for senate and we have others for senate and assembly.

[Darksheare]

Drats!
I didn't know you had a blog!
(See what I get for wandering off for a bit?)

Cool, wonder if we can get Sheldon tossed cosidering he covered up his dear aides crimes.

[The Mayor]

Geez, look at all these, they're all mine.

I have been desperately looking for someone to go against Silver and Bruno.

[The Mayor]

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you, Mayor.

[Darksheare]

I'd do it, but I'm unknown, too young, and not politically savvy enough.
About all I can do well is crack jokes, tend roses, and draw.

[Darksheare]

I forgot one: I typo rather well.

[The Mayor]

I'll tell ya, who ever runs against either one of them will have almost instant media coverage. I will make sure of that.
Are you in Brunos district?

[The Mayor]

My Pleasure.
My wife is a Marine, I am Army.

[Darksheare]

Not certain whose district I am in.
I'm in Ben Gilmans old district.

[Darksheare]

If memory serves, they reparceled Orange County not too long ago as well.

According to the map, I'm in district 3.

[The Mayor]

See they pay for going against the king..
