A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-01,02-06....HALL OF FAME #16
July 01, 2006 | Billie

Posted on 07/01/2006 7:57:44 AM PDT by Billie



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, Dutchess, DollyCali, GodBlessUSA, JustAmy ~










Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )
We're FOUR YEARS OLD now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our sixteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through yesterday, June 30, 2006.

Really? That is interesting and a coincidence too. Just last week I found out that a long time friend of mine used to box years ago. It makes my nose hurt just thinking about it. LOL.

Just received this link in an e-mail from my brother. It is a very well done tribute to our military. Beautiful and touching photos (many I have not seen before) and music.

Click HERE and then sit back and enjoy.

pepperoni does the same thing to me!

Pepperoni makes your nose bleed? I've never heard of that before. LOL.

No, it's just that the thought of being hit on my nose makes me wince. :-(

No,.. I meant if you'd written bleed & not "hurt" before.

Not that your nose bleeds when eating pepperoni too!

Context opps there...No worries, it happens.

My late husband was in the Navy at the end of Korean War, and my grandson is in the Navy right now. My first cousin was a submariner in WW2.

GO NAVY

I think there are more here who have family members who served or currently serve in the Navy than any other branch. The Navy holds a special place in the hearts of many here at the Finest.

God bless your grandson, MEG. His service is appreciated here. :-)
