A Few of FR's Finest....July, 2 - 3-07....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!

FR FINEST HALL OF FAME #19 THE WEEKEND THREAD 06-29 thru 7-1-07.... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[The Mayor]

Have a Great 4th!

[The Mayor]

Your so very welcome Amy.

[The Mayor]

There have been a few of those already here too Lady Jag.

[The Mayor]

I want to go watch Brave Heart now!

Thank you.

[The Mayor]

Bummer, the link doesn’t work.

[The Mayor]

Amen, it sure is.

[DollyCali]

well, you both did great. I will have to work on incorporating the refined list into my table..(as we all know, harder than it seems)

Will be posting the 4th thread as soon as I get it to format(Ha!..maybe Friday?)

[The Mayor]

Friday.... HAHAhahaha!!

I wish I could help you Dolly.

[JustAmy]

Try it again, Rus. It worked for me.

It is a wonderful clip.

[Mama_Bear]

The link doesn't work? Hmmmmm. It worked for you, didn't it Maj?

It's a wvx file, not quite sure what that is, but it should open up and play in your Windows Media Player.

[Mama_Bear]

It is a wonderful clip.

Oh, good. I am glad you were able to watch it. I hope Rus can get the link to work.

[JustAmy]

I have the original email that I can forward to either Rus or you. Let me know.

[The Mayor]

I have no idea why it won’t work.
It opens to a page of one line code.

I’ll fr mail you my email addy Amy

[JustAmy]

Got it!!

Email on its way.

[DollyCali]

This has been a great two days of Military Tribute & what a better introduction to the 4th of July & the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary war & Mel Gibson(the Patriot) HA!

Please join us for the Wednesday thread On the Declaration of Independence

[The Mayor]

Thank you, that was fantastic!

I am gonna see if I can save that and upload it to You Tube.

[Mama_Bear]

I got it in an e-mail too, but I had uploaded it to my server in order to share it here. I have no idea why Rus can’t play it.

[Mama_Bear]

I am gonna see if I can save that and upload it to You Tube.

Did Amy e-mail it to you? Glad you were finally able to view it. If you have it as an e-mail attachment, you should be able to save it. The curious thing is, when I uploaded it to my server, it shows up as being only 1K. I was thinking a video that long would be huge. I don't understand it being only 1K, but then, there is a lot I don't understand about computers.

[Libertina]

Hi Aquamarine, have a wonderful 4th! FReedom for all! :)

[MEG33]

I do remember this but thoroughly enjoyed seeing the video and hearing about it..Noted the shaggy haired perps..jerks.
They are probably teaching our children at some college.
