Good morning, FReeper FRiends, and Welcome! We hope you had a luxuriously labor-free, laid-back, long weekend and that you're looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for you this week.

We promise not to disappoint. Daisy and I worked together to bring you today's Feature. Usually when we do a profile, we do all of the research, the writing, and the design and layout by ourselves; and only when we have a Guest Writer does that change. The Guest Writer does the research and writes the story, then sends it to one of us for the design, the layout, the graphics, etc.

For today's FReeper profile, however, Daisy did all the research and the writing, and emailed it to me for the visuals. We hope you enjoy.....not only today, but every day. :)

Indeed it IS the Finest, Billie!
Just stopping by before I head out to Augusta for most of the day.

Morning greetings to all, and especially to you, Diver Dave!

All who know you, love and admire you.
May your day be as special as you are.

I'm on my way out of town for the week, but had to wait long enough to say "Congratulations, Diver!"
You are truly one of FreeRepubic's finest. Enjoy your day!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. I was out for 6 days so getting back into the grind is going to be harder then usual. I will rest in here for now though. Have a great day.

Today is the anniversary of the outbreak of WWII. At 11.00am Greenwich Mean Time, Chamberlain announced that Britain was at war with Germany.

Wow, now that's a fine tribute to Diver Dave.

And a good way for me to start the day, in the company of Freepers. Thanks for all your hard work. Y'all do such a great job.

And you complimented me, Diver Dave!

It is you who are a PATRIOT. It is you who are a HERO.

I salute you!!!

Thank you Billie and daisy for this marvelous thread on a true FR Finest!

Thank you, Dave for serving GOD and COUNTRY in humility and love.

Thank you for honoring your Father in Heaven through your obedience and witness!
I praise the Lord today for your life!

Good Day to all!

What a wonderful thread today. Daisy, you did a superb job of writing up a superb FReeper. Excellent visuals, as always, dear Billie.

Diver Dave: May God continue to Bless you and your family with His Grace. I know that Our Father has a tremendous wordly presence in you and all that you do. May God continue to smile down on you and yours and may WE all be thankful that you found Free Republic.

Back to the salt mines...the price we pay for "Labor Day."
