Billie, The Mayor

[Diver Dave]

Beautiful little lady.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mixer.
Thanks Louie for the post.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks Billie, for creating this beautiful tribute, and Mayor, for bringing it to us each Monday.

God bless our troops and their loved ones waiting here at home.

Fly your Flag high and proud!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, how precious she is!! What a perfect gift from God!

(((((((Louie))))))), thanks for bringing us Mixer's little bundle of joy. :-)

[Billie]

My son Chris has 5 job interviews today and I would like to ask all to keep him in prayer that he will get one of them.

Saying a prayer one of the interviews today will be 'the' one!

[Billie]

Thank GOD!

[Billie]

She's so pretty, Mixer! "Pretty in Pink" - truly! Thanks, Louie, for 'presenting' Hayley to the Finest!

(Wolfie handled her with tender loving care - there's not a scratch on her.) :)

[Billie]

I have added your son to our military prayer list. We are grateful to him for serving this great country of ours.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Good Afternoon. Freeper kiddo in the Stan

[Lakeside]

God bless him and keep him safe. Thanks for sharing his picture with us!

[Lakeside]

Well, I doff my hat to you, Mr. Ambassador. Such a shame though, you marrying outside the family and all.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am no longer welcome at family reunions.

[LadyX]

Lakeside, this picture was Freep mailed to me by the rather shy sister of Conspiracy Guy.
She has been trying to register as Conspiracy Gal, she said, but CG blocked it.

Sorry to tattle on ya, CG, but fair is fair - -

An F/A-18 Hornet flies over USS JOHN F. KENNEDY
(CV 67) during air operations for Summer Pulse 2004
in the Atlantic Ocean, June 8, 2004.

Summer Pulse is the simultaneous deployment of seven
aircraft carrier strike groups to demonstrate the Navy's
ability to provide combat power across the world

"were his body will remain"

For once, the Letter Thief is off the hook here!
It was copied and pasted verbatim from the Defense web site.

Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff salute former
President Ronald Reagan's flag draped casket during
the State Funeral procession in Washington D.C.,
June 9, 2004.

Reagan's remains will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda,
Washington D.C.,
and will return to Simi Valley, Calif.,
to be laid to rest on June 11, 2004.

A Soldier with the Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment
"Old Guard" leads a rider-less horse bearing former
President Ronald Reagan's brown riding boots,
reversed in the stirrups,
down Constitution Avenue during
the State Funeral procession
from the White House to the U.S. Capitol
in Washington, D.C., June 9, 2004.

The boots, backwards in the stirrups, represents a warrior
who will never ride again but who is taking
his parting look at the troops marching behind him.

"The boots, backwards in the stirrups, represents a warrior who will never ride again but who is taking his parting look at the troops marching behind him."

I have never heard of this, but if anyone deserves it, Ronald Reagan deserved it.

Those young Gyrenes in the Ceremonial Guard look to be carrying M1 Garands.
That weapon is well suited for ceremonial purposes.

I didn't look as young as those kids when I was born!

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is sister mom. I did not block her. She has really trimmed her beard up nicely.
