A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Sept 3 & 4 -07....Military Tribute

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 have been including them here as I receive enough to make another collage.

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.

We have featured 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!

Every Monday we 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!

Hi Luv
Thinking of you this morning traveling home. Talk to you later today. I enjoyed seeing and listening to the song of your lovely Military Tribute Table!

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi (((Dita)))
I finally did get some sleep. Restless night. I’m a bit of a zombie today. LOL It’s a do nothing day anyway. I hope it’s not 100 again for you today. Oh boy. Enjoy your Labor Day and stay cool ;)!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Dubya
LOL! Enjoying reading your posts :) I teased my son the same way when he went to boot camp in the Coast Guard. :)

[DollyCali]

hope you are feeling better Gee Bee

. I have been really rough for the whole summer. Bad allergies, fatigue, headaches.. Keep on plugging. Some men I know are in bed with a little headache. Woman are 20 minutes from dying & are still plugging along.

I remember when the war was over, I was a little girl and me and all my friends marched up and down the street, yelling the war is over, the war is over. We didn’t realize the real significance of it...we only knew our parents were happy and we were happy too! I do remember as a little girl, in my quiet time when trying to go to sleep, I would cry sometimes, thinking my daddy might have to go to war.....Little kids don’t understand, do they? I don’t think my parents ever knew that.....

Your Graphic of our President is Awesome, Meg!!

~God Bless America and our Military~

[jaycee]

Meg, I wasn’t on much last week as the closer our high school reunion gets, the more we have to do. I probablly won’t be on much this week either. We are having a catered picnic Friday evening at 5:00 and a dinner Sat.night at 6:00. Continental breakfast Sun. Morn. where some out of town classmates will be staying. I have a million things to do! Its fun but tedious. I would tell you which one it is, but then I would have to kill you! LOLOL~~~~~So if you don’t see me much, I am okay, just places to go, things to do. We have worked on this for 14 months! Whew~~~~Wish me luck!
