A year later we know where Iraq and Baghdad Bob are located. Thanks to our brave and courageous Troops, the world is safer for all of us. Thanks to our Allies for their continued support. We pray that you stay the course. Our music dedication is mixed with some "nostalgic" reminders of the past year. Please mouse over the icons to see our selections for today. As always, don't forget that you can request songs on the thread, or by emailing us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com . Thank you!! Enjoy the selections!

One Year Later of Shock and Awe
 

 

We saw the murderous dictator fall
we cheered, we sang
with glad refrain
as the statue of Saddam the
madman, Hussein toppled

by Iraqi people whom he
oppressed and tortured
gassed his own people
maimed little children
with no compassion or mercy

From palace to palace he¹d run
hide with those bloody
thug sons by his side
until the day they met the
business end of a soldiers gun
that ended their ³fun.²

Evil spawn of evil he...
found living in a spider hole
that describes the end
of his reign and his
people will determine
his plight - not his way
sneaking around at night
filling the people with fear
oh no, he will get to hear
the charges of his murderous crimes
and stand before the judges of his kind
spend the rest of his miserable life on earth
in better conditions than he meted out...

Freedom lives now for Iraqi people
conditions improve with a helping hand
from nations across the worlds¹ lands
 

They are learning to trust again
and smile, study in schools,
work for their livelihood
unhindered by the bloody dictator Hussein
Iraqi people are free to be...

Ya nabbed #1700

[Old Sarge]

Care to join me on the new thread, Ladies?

[Kathy in Alaska]

On the way!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too funny!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very, very late, tom, but beautiful tribute. It's 1am and really easy listening. thanks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

OH MY GAWD, Meekie. Those 2 best stick with tents.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Go with God, Frank. Thank you for helping keep America safe and free.

Aaaaaw, Tonk. *HUGZ* Thank you for posting a link to Nashville FReep thread!

It was an honor to meet and stand with fellow FReepers today in support of our military. They do so much for this country and the relatively small group of lefties were NOT going to march today unchallenged! We caught them off guard.....they thought today was theirs and seeing us waiting for them didn't seem to sit too well. *snicker*

They tried to rile us and we could tell they were ticked off that we didn't take their bait. heh..heh..heh. Our calm responses clearly irritated them and they quickly gave up. All the horn-honks and thumbs up we got bugged 'em , too. They saw that Nashville is supportive of our men and women in uniform.

NOW we know whay Radu's been absent so much....she's been busy making signs!!

I WISH! LOL! I only made two of the signs (mine and hubby's).

Too many irons in the fire is the reason for my absence lately. This is a busy time of year on the farm plus car club duties have tied up my rare 'puter time lately. I had noooooo idea how much was involved with being club secretary when I accepted the position. Being a total DUNCE when it comes to offline things doesn't help. LOL! I've had to quickly learn lots of things I've been putting off since we got this 'puter. I've pretty much got that squared away (I think) and should have a bit more free computer time to spend at FR and the Canteen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

radu..........how cool that you got to show "them" that "they" are second rate!! I'm still trying to catch up, but will read all the reports eventually.

[radu]

I'm still trying to catch up.......

*giggle*

I know I'll neeeeeever catch up tonight....er, this morning. I'm amazed I'm still awake now. LOL! I need to check out the mid-MO. FReepers' report before I head out....those folks ROCK!
This was our first FReep in Nashville and we feel we handled it in a way that will please our troops and FR.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job!!! Right now I sneaking up on 1100! How are you feeling?

[radu]

How am I feeling? BRAIN DEAD! ROTFLOL! I'm starting to get punchy and have to really pay attention to what I'm typing. I can be a silly enough hillbilly without exhaustion adding to the mix. *giggle*

I got a goodie via e-mail I need to post for all the cat-lovers at the Canteen. Comin' right up....just wait til you see THIS site!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my, aomagrat...I love what Vice Admiral Fisher had to say. Thanks. And thanks for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sure, I'll make a copy and send it on.

[Kathy in Alaska]

ROTFLMAO!! The FBI and the Pizza Man is hilarious. Thanks, Radix. Were you able to find the 1Lt in the Iraqi series? Do you think this is the program. God bless our brave soldiers. They sure did a good job. Thanks to 1LtRadixJr for his service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Fabulous report, MS.B. Thanks for sharing. God bless our military and keep them safe.

[Kathy in Alaska]

 

 

 

Time for bed. God Bless all our troops, their families, our veterans and our Israeli, British, Australian, Polish, and Italian allies. We pray for your safe and soon return. Thank you for doing the jobs you do to keep this UNITED STATES OF AMERICA safe. We love you all.

 

 

Thank you to all who enter the Canteen. Salute!

 

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.
