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

Meg, I closed Free Republic down for a little while and came back and the picture is there! Gee, I don’t understand those things. They have a mind of their own, don’t they!

God bless the soul of your Dad, Dutchess. I am sorry to hear of your loss, but I am glad you have so many loving memories to cherish. I even went to look for his picture in our Hall of Heroes, a handsome man.

It is not easy to lose a loved parent. I know, as my Mother passed away 5 years ago and I think of her more at the holidays, can even feel her presence. May God comfort you and hold you close.

That is the Most Precious Graphic! Thank you for Brightening my Morning, my Sweet FRiend.

I still have 2 Packages to Send Off to Dear Friends, and I Hope they Make it to them by Christmas. I had to Wait for the Arrival of Things I had Ordered, not Realizing they would be Subject to Back Order.

My Dining Room is Looking Pretty with the Christmas Cards I've Received to Date, and my Heart Loves this Time of the Year. Have a Beautiful Day, my FRiend, Filled with Many Blessings of our Lord!

Darling, Kitty~~~I have been running errands today and doing a bit more decorating. So much to do...so little time! We do too much and the older I get the harder it gets. Every year I say “I’m not doing much this year...blah, blah, blah.” And go ahead and do more than I should.

I am tired tonight and plan not to stay on the Christmas thread long. Need to sit back and relax and watch a movie or something. See ya later, Kitty! Hope you have had a good day!

I Ran Out of Wrapping Paper Last Night, so I still have Gifts to Wrap, and just One Package to still Send Off in the Mail. My Sweet Momma will be Preparing a Wonderful Feast on Christmas Day, and I'm Looking Forward to Seeing Family Members who Only Come to Visit 2 or 3 Times a Year. I Printed Off Some of the Best Pics I've Snapped of Flowers, Sunsets, and Squirrels around the King's Ranch so I can Give Some to an Uncle who Loves Photography.

May your Christmas Celebration be Filled to Overflowing with our Lord's Love, Blessings, and Peace, Dear (((((jaycee)))))!
