A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Dec 17 & 18th -07....Military Tribute
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 12/16/2007 6:18:47 PM PST by The Mayor







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!

D.D., The strangest thing, I copied it and it would come through on the email but not in the bell shape. Tried 3 times, 3 different ways and the bell shape wasn’t there. Hated that.....got the message though!

Oh Kitty, the kittens are so precious. You are the one who finds “great stuff”. There is so much prettiness out there but there is some ugliness, as you and I said the other day. I get surprises every day.

Hope your day was good to you. I have been doing a thousand things it seems. Just took my party mix out of oven and cooled it and put it in my pretty canisters I keep for just that purpose. Going to make fudge in the morning and go mail a package to my brother in Georgia. I am late but it will get there...I have faith it will.

It is my pleasure Jaycee. It is an Honor for me to post our Military Tribute and even more so our Daily Bread. Christ does all the work, I am just His messenger.
