A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-26-06....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

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

Very cool! I wish you lived down here. I would love to have a covered patio and deck. Our patio faces west and it is impossible to sit out because of the hot afternoon Texas sun!

Get your rest, Rus. You have a lot of work ahead of you. It's going to really be nice, and I am sure the people you are building it for will enjoy it a lot. I know that I would.

Wow that is a BIG deck! Is that out in the country? Looks like some space around it. If your weather was like ours (and it often is) it was a good day for working outdoors. I spend 6-9 time frame in my basement & 9-3 outside ..with occasional FReeping breaks!

Had outing w/friend Patty today.. doggie walk, dinner at chili's & saw movie Break up.

My body is sore. but I did get done some needed outdoor things before the rains started. We again have wet in basement. so far no mud!

Poor folks in DC area.. Like a monsoon!

AH HA.. she again tried to slither away with another birthday!!!!!! But good old Rus remembered!

Certain birthdays are better/worse than others. I hope Billie that you had an outstanding day filled with people you love, laughter along the way & warm fuzzies ...and it isn't even Wed!

I don't know your age & I KNOW you hate to have a big fuss over your birthday.. but on this occasion I would like to thank you for the past year of help & support as a hostess. You set a high standard that I for one rarely meet but I always appreciate your talent.

You are also beautiful so the old saying about not getting older but getting better surely does apply for you.

and heck.. since the cat is out of the bag...

Happy
Birthday
Billie

The Deck you are Building is just Wonderful, and the People who Get it will be Blessed! I Love my Deck, but it has No Cover, so it Gets a Little too Hot in the Summer.

Our Dear Lord Be with you, with Everyone at the Finest, and Bless our Military Always!
