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

That name doen't ring a bell but we could easily be related. Richard is a family name. Both my grandmother and grandfather's families were huge.

"You didn't have to know EVERYTHING."

Oh, yeah??
You didn't tell me things so Momma would think you were the only Smart One...|:>(

(but I spied and eavesdropped a LOT!!)

Moores is an unusual name. Most people are named Moore. "Dicky" Moores was a member of my husband's band in Montgomery. We were very close. Funny funny guy.

I think I'm going to go to bed early for a change. Been up since way before daylight. I will see all of you wonderful people tomorrow.

Unless I wake up in a couple of hours.

Ooops, Pauls top ten, lolololol.

Night everyone.

WEll, I'll tell you something. It's late and I still have laundry to fold. So, as much as I would love to stay and play, I really must go. I pray that all you Southern bells sleep this good. Loveya all.

I'd love to get out to AL and GA because I haven't been there in ages and ages. Last time I visited was for my great grandmother's funeral.

It is after midnight here, and we'd all better get a good night's sleep...
thanks to all of you for a fun evening.

Calpernia, you were missed. Hope little Douglas is better now.

{{{{ Hugs for everyone }}}

I intend to use it studying the punctilliousness of the thin people of this world. ;) I will prepare a statistical analysis.

LOL! Where is he anyway? :)

I'm here, and any hostess worth her salt would've waited for all her guests to arrive before going to bed! :-)

Also, I'm not punctilious. If I was I'd most surely point out that it has only one 'l'.

I went to the inexpensive grocery store (Wal-Mart)today - all the Halloween Candy was marked down to a dollar or fifty cents a bag. I purchased a WHOLE bag of Payday's, giggle.

And Tootsie Pops, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey Minitures and the peanut butter candy that taste like Butterfingers but doesn't have the chocolate and, and, and well (blush), I blew the diet from here to high water and back...

Dixie, for your own well-being you better hand the rest of the candy over to me. I would just hate for you to blow that diet. :-)
