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

Maybe we could make that happen. I'm hoping to be able to agravate Sistah in her home when she can't get out and drive. I'll have her right where she can't avoid me. (evil laugh).

Ganging up on me, are ya?!
Nan, Sassy Lassy sashayed to D.C. instead of coming to Aiken..:))

Dixie, it has to have been a long time since you went to the south side of Aiken. Whiskey Road there is a happenin' area now.

I assume you remember where The Mall is located with Sears and Penney's, etc... Across the road from it, Lowe's built a huge new store - the old building now houses a Hobby Store.

By and just above the Mall where Publix is are all kinds of new eating places - Golden Corral, a new IHOP, Red Lobster, Friday's, etc.

A block below that is another shopping center now with Target, Pier I, Michael's Crafts, Goody's (new location) and others.

There are fast food places of every description between Wal-Mart and there - Home Depot is in the shopping center above Shoney's. Ryan's larger new location is just below honey's ,across the street from its old one.

The road has been repaved and a center turn lane and several traffic lights added - it is booming!

I approach Aiken from that South 19 direction, so it is the closer area to me...go around and up to the Hospital area where my physicians are located.

Ganging up? Who's ganging up? We were simply discussing a potential visit to see you. Gee, you're always picking at everything I do. Nag nag nag.
