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!

Afternoon Yer Honor.

Our local Support Our Troops Committee has scheduled a rally this coming Sat out at Vintage Faire Mall 10am - 2pm. HIGH traffic location so we'll be directing the folks to think of and support our troops this pre-christmas weekend.

Too cold for shorts and t-shirt, but I'll be there with my sign...

I love that post. Maybe you should open a frame shop. I have stuff framed and have a favorite framer, but you do better.

That’s excellent Dave, so glad to hear you can get people out to do this.

I would have to be dressed like an Eskimo to be doing that here.
