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 12-29-06 - 01-01-07 ~ A Finest New Year's Weekend T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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

[GodBlessUSA]

That is fantastic! God Bless Him. I wish the media would cover this. Please Freepmail me if there is a place I could send items of clothes blankets etc. for donation.

[scubachick]

Thanks, Dave! Needless to say, there is no good diving in Afghanistan, so Mr. Scubachick is looking forward to coming home and hitting the beach!

[scubachick]

Unfortunately, the media isn't usually interested in showing how wonderful are troops are. Am freepmailing you with info to donate and thank you and God Bless!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Evening Mama_Bear
It sure does look like the coldest place. My heart breaks for the children without coats. I will be saying prayers for our Heroes and for the children.

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks so much scubachick. I don't even watch the media any longer because of this. Makes me so angry.

[GodBlessUSA]

It went fast but must have been a great relaxing week off. Getting better. Definitely better than I have been. Thanks :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Beautiful Luv!

[La Enchiladita]

Brag ON!!!

Nice to know you are "related" to Mama_Bear, a very warm and wonderful lady!

You are truly blessed in your husband as well, and I thank you for your service as a military family member.

Everyone else here probably knows this about you, but I did not know! Don't be a stranger.

[The Mayor]

Hi Beachn.. Thanks for coming by!

[The Mayor]

Thank you Sir!

[The Mayor]

Thank you, Luv W.

[The Mayor]

Wow, she is reading that book.. God Bless her then.

[La Enchiladita]

She gave a good reading for her Dad's memory; I believe the Ford family is well grounded in their faith, Rus.

[The Mayor]

Happy New Year to you too!

We all lose a little memory as age slips in on us.. : )

[The Mayor]

Wow, Thanks Cuz.
Looks a wee bit chilly there.
Almost what Buffalo should look like right now but global warming is doing us all a favor.. : )

[The Mayor]

Our Military does so much that the MSM chooses to ignore, they will work closely with the anti's to make things sound as bad for us a possible and it disgusts me to no end.

For him to spearhead this effort is proof that he is more concerned about the children of that country than the very people that are in charge. God Bless him and all of you for helping.

If the MSM were to do the right thing, they would be asking for help from the citizens to do this. If the people of this country knew, they would respond. Look at the flood of support thyat came to the people of Indonesia when the tsnumi came, or Katrina victims...

The patriotic people of this country have always gone to the aid of the people in need. We just need to know where and how to respond.

Thank you all and God Bless our Military.

[The Mayor]

That's nice to know. I haven't had much of a chance to watch any of it. I am watching CSpan right now of the days coverage.

[luvie]

You are very welcome. I love the Military Monday thread! :D

[The Mayor]

Me too!

[Mama_Bear]

The patriotic people of this country have always gone to the aid of the people in need.

You are right about that. The American people are compassionate and generous and our military reflects this around the world. I am very proud of them.
