A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Mar. 31 & Apr 1 -08....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!

Good Morning kelsiejackson
Welcome to the Finest! :) Terrific post. This picture says so much about our President. Our country was so blessed to have President Bush in office 9/11. I can't even (and don't want to) imagine what would have been had Gore succeeded stealing the election.

Snow is almost gone, should be all gone by tomorrow with these temperatures and the rain. We are supposed to see 50 the next couple days. That will feel like a heat wave.

Thank you for your posts Jaycee.
You and many like to read the Daily Breads as I do.
It’s my mission, as small as it might be, to help get the Good Word out.

Good to hear the snow almost gone. It was in the 20s here last night. 50’s definitely will feel like a heatwave. :)

Have a great week!

Amen, GeeBee... this gives us pause for thought. Too bad so many seem to have forgotten 9/11 this election year.

When I was checking posts just now, it said I had one from you and it was 36 and I hit 36 and it took me to the start of the thread so I went back to do it again and hit 36 and it took me to 36. Thats happened several times today on different posts. I do not know whats causing that!
