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

Happy Birthday Dolly

[Diver Dave]

Evenin' Yer Honor.

Good News - Bad News from this front.

Our Nephew arrived home at Ft. Carson on Saturday.

Our county lost another soldier to the War on Terror last week.

[MEG33]

LOL..I haven't listened to Chrissy in ages..I read governs' columns and know he is in need of some serious help!

[MEG33]

Almighty and Eternal God, Protect our soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home safely to the people who love them and to the gratitude of the American people..We ask this through Christ our Lord.

May God Keep Safe All Who Serve Our Country

[Majie Purple]

That is a SWEET comment Dita!

[Majie Purple]

Hi GeeBee! Thanks much for the beautiful reply!

[Majie Purple]

Lovely angel Billie!
The stripes on the dress really pop!...3-D ish, cool!

[La Enchiladita]

Love the gif, Gwacie...!!

12 hours from now, I will VOTE!!!

I'm going early and want to be the first one!!

I love this country; let's pray through the night...

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you for the "Enfolding" poem and the tender graphic.

I am all misty-eyed about it . . .

Add my grateful voice.

[NicknamedBob]

Thank you!

I like that one too. Astonishingly, I had lost track of where it was. I had to spend quite a while reviewing to be able to bring it up.

But I've now put it into the file that I use to keep track of these things. I'll be able to get to it more readily now.

It's, ahem, quite a long list. (Of course, who cares about a poem about a snail, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?)

[DollyCali]

Rus, I join all your other friends here in wishing you the best of luck tomorrow on election day for success in your bid for state legislature!

[Majie Purple]

Praying that God willing,you'll win tomorrow!
If He's willing, you know you will win!!!!
He's bigger than any obsticle...
But you know all this already.
;oD

[DollyCali]

Dear Friends, thank you so much for the birthday greetings.. It was an outstanding day of many good things including a dogie walk with a GROUP of friends & dinner at the Winking Lizard in Peninsula …OUTDOORS ON PATIO. Wow, IN OHIO IN NOVEMBER!

Some how after the age of 30 birthdays no longer are really exciting.. and it is a long way after 30 for me! Well maybe the birthdays are exciting but NOT adding the years. Will be sending those who sent me greetings a link to pix from day

Appreciate you !

[The Mayor]

Sorry to be absent.. I just got home an hour ago after setting up all the signs at the polling areas. This district is huge. Set up about 300 signs.

[La Enchiladita]

Hugs, Dolly. It was really HOT here today in SoCal, like a burning furnace. Even now, I've got the windows open and I'm in short sleeves. This is weird, even for us...

[DollyCali]

I was jealous watching the Browns yesterday in San Diego.. such great weather.. and the fact the Chargers beat the Browns didn't help.

Glad you have great weather..hot can be bad though... it does seem appealing to those of us who have already expeienced snow, freezes & all that yuk already this year

[DollyCali]

how wonderful is that poster.. oh, Rus.. really praying for you.. God's will and all that for sure..but hope that God's will is the same as our THIS TIME!

[.30Carbine]

Thank you. That's a timely one.

[MEG33]

Prayers for you today, Rus.. and prayers for this nation.
