A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Oct 22-23 -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!

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you, Rus, much appreciated.
I am safe, far from the blazes and only see the smoke drifting across the sky...

[jaycee]

Sure do love your little “Happy Tuesday” graphic for today. I am just now getting to read today’s posts.

[jaycee]

Sweet, GeeBee!

[jaycee]

Cute Oops, Meg! Just now checking in today! Stuff happens!!

[jaycee]

Hey Dolly, Good hearing from you. Sorry things are happening on the homefront. Hope they pass soon. You take care now!

[jaycee]

GeeBee, how darling are those cats? My they are so cute!!

[jaycee]

Your devotional is so wonderful today. I do get blessed every day by reading this.

Re: laughing...heard on t.v. just a day or so ago that laughing a lot can add 8 years to one’s life.

“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” —Proverbs 17:22 (There is nothing truer than those words.)

[jaycee]

GeeBee, that is my attitude also about gifs. Its a compliment I feel!

[jaycee]

Hoping all improves with you, Diver Dave. You have my prayers for sure!

[luvie]

Hope to see pictures!

Hope and pray everything improves soon on the “home front”.

We love you, too!

[MEG33]

Prayers going up for you, (((Diver)))..May God give wisdom and skill to your doctors and may He place His healing hands on you..

[Billie]

Well, I just peeked at your profile page after reading your post. :) Great job, Luvbo! And the President-in-the-heart was an easy one to do for you - you picked a good screenname. :)

[Billie]

I did have a profile page one time and took it down quite a while ago when John made some changes and it affected the way our formatting looked. Just never put it back, but if you want to see what it did look like, click here. :) (a couple of the graphics aren't showing up - think I either moved or deleted them)

[Billie]

Thanks, GeeBee. I love those kinds of pictures, too. The children seem so happy around the soldiers.

[Billie]

:)

[Billie]

Sending hugs your way, Dolly. Loved the pictures you posted on the weekend thread of your outing with John and the dogs. Take care!

[Billie]

Prayers coming your way - hope to hear those problems are worked out soon. You take care!

[jaycee]

Billie, I liked it a lot. It looked fine to me. Who does all those pencil drawings, I love them. Thank you for letting me view your Page!

[Billie]

Thanks, Jaycee - the formatting is good there - but there are a few changes I would have to make for it to look like that at FR. I just got tired of it. :)

The drawings are mine. :)
