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

I know that. Don't I? But there are two different "Souths". Texas ain't like the Southeast. I know, I've been there. And unlike you I love Texas. Especially Amarillo.

No thank you, I'm not fond of those critters myself. I don't mind em in picture books or tv but I don't want to see them in real life. Well at the zoo's okay.

My view of Texas was distorted by having been a year in South Dakota, followed by 3 1/2 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Leaving there, driving to Florida to visit family and then up to Myrtle Beach, SC, I nearly died going down the Rockies with a coat on (June) and then racing across Texas in 105-degree heat with no a/c in the van!

"How could anyone live here?!!" was my thought..:))

Under those conditions I can see why you wouldn't have the best perspective on this lovely state. But it's not like that all year round, if it were I wouldn't be able to live here!

Around the Atlanta/Roswell area, I have a great-aunt and uncle and their children there. Most of the family is in Alabama from top to bottom.

I once fell in love with the most beautiful Indian brave at a little joint on the banks of Lake Travis near Austin. I've never forgotten him. Of course that was before my conversion.

You do know that I grew up in Huntsville, Ala. don't you? Also lived in Montgomery from 76-80.

Daddy transferred from Charlotte with Aetna Ins and I spent the last six months of high school at Therrell. We were the second graduating class. Played the lead in the Sr. class play - NUTS IN MAY - played the part of Cornelia Otis Skinner.

David Letterman is having a baby tonight. He sure hasn't looked pregnant lately - strange.

Part of me wants to marry an Indian brave, I've got Choctaw and Chicasaw blood. But most of me wants to marry a Southern gentleman. Whoever he is has to be a Christian and conservative, on those two points I won't budge.

I didn't know that. :) I'm not sure which part of our clan is in Huntsville but we have people there. We've got Timmermans, Garretts, Doziers, Moores--those are the main groups.

You didn't have to know EVERYTHING. You know, I think every woman has fantasies about handsome Indian warriors. There is something mysterious about them, and you know how curious we women are.
