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

Movie Alert!!!

Rus, you need to see the movie Evan Almighty. It is funny & well done.

The star (modern day Noah) is an elected official from BUFFALO!! former newsbroadcaster. I think you & the family would enjoy it (once you stop crying after paying for the tickets)

I am reading for first time Gone with The Wind for a book club. I have seen the movie many times. I can't help but ALWAYS be thankful to the heroes of past who served, as our herores now serve. Clark Gable was a heart throb of his day .. as was Elvis when he went into the army. Both got extra swoons for wearing the uniform.

Showing my even SHORTER HAIR & my nails. The tech raised her eyebrows when I told her what I wanted. As I was leaving serveral other women complimented them & asked for them. The young oriental nail tech just shook her head. Patriotism is something you can't explain.. even when it is gaudy & distinctive.

My Grandmother would get all googly eyed over Clark Gable. :)

I saw lots of his movies when I was a very young child because she would take me to the movies with her.

Thanks for the nice memories. :)

Love the nails Dolly.

Patriotism is something you can't explain.. even when it is gaudy & distinctive.

Patriotism is something that's in your blood. Libertina says she has a *patriotic gene*.
