~ IRAQ WAR 1st ANNIVERSARY SALUTE ~

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! (Special thanks go out to Auntie Fawnn and Queenie (bentfeather) for their contributions to this thread! Thanks Divas!!)

The Canteen Deejay Crew are bentfeather, Bethbg79, Diva Betsy Ross, Kathy In Alaska, and MoJo2001. Any requests should be made towards them. (Others provide music as well. So? Don't count them out either! Just ask!)

For all of our heroes that have returned home, this one's for you!

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...

THANKS!

[MoJo2001]

If you count babbling as a form of speech, sure.

If you count it as a form of dysfunctional jibber jabber, then I'm at the head of the line!

LOL!

[MoJo2001]

You are absolutely welcome!

I love your graphic!!

Very very cool!!

I hope you enjoy some of the music provided above. If not, please don't hesitate to request a song or two on the thread. We'd love to help you!

[MoJo2001]

Queenie!!

I never got to ask you, but I just remembered.

Is the royal palace all fixed up now?

Or do you have to wait until Spring to get it finished.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

A flash from the past Co-Captain!

Baghdad Bob meets the Goddess

[MoJo2001]

Auntie Fawnn,

Your collages are absolutely fabulous!!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to get the job done for us.

Wow!!  I hope everyone is as amazed by your talents as I am.

*HUGS*

Thank you once again!

[Soaring Feather]

Waiting for Spring to finish the woodwork painting, bathroom, and bedroom of the manse. Sheeeeesh and they were paid for the job. :-(

[MoJo2001]

OMG!!

That is absolutely hilarious!!

I really miss seeing him on my TV screen!

He was at least humorous. LOL!

[Brad’s Gramma]

HI Everyone! WONDERFUL THREAD!!!! Absolutely wonderful!

Here's my Brad. He wants to write something to everyone serving in our military.

Hi, guys! I heard that this is the one year anniversity of the Iraqi war. Good luck out there everybody. (Thanks for protecting us!)!!!

And now I, BG, return to my quilting...

[MoJo2001]

Wow Queenie!

You do have a bunch of peons working for ya, huh?

Surely they forget your status?

Or perhaps it's because you are located in "I" town, huh? LOL!

Dear Brad,

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern for our Troops. You don't realize how incredible that is, but you've surely done it.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy life with Gramma to come and chat with our Troops. I realize that your Gramma is almost senile and losing it. So? While our Troops are defending America, defend your neighborhood from Gramma. We wouldn't want her wandering the streets with her cane. Would we? LOL!

(Actually, your Gramma is a sweetheart. Let's not share that with her. We wouldn't want her head to get any bigger. LOL!)

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Gramma, thank you. How's the quilt coming along?

I am having a quilting session tomorrow, have not done this now in over a year. :-(

I don't look forward to it but I have to help out the organization.

[armyboy]

Hard to belive that it's beeen a year sice the war started. It's also hard to belive that 1 year ago today my unit was at our mobilization site training to come over here.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

[MoJo2001]

Valin,

Thank you for posting that letter!

Very touching.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hey! I'm ready for my history lesson. Do I have to wait until later on today? LOL!

Just kidding!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you SO MUCH for your service to our country, to the Iraqi's, and for helping to make this world safer for my Brad!!!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thank You Sir for defending our Freedom.
May your remaining 48 days go by fast.

[MoJo2001]

Armyboy,

May God keep you and your fellow soldiers safe and sound!

We anxiously await your return to America.

Thank you for your service to America!!

Would you like to hear a song?

If so, let us know. We'd be happy to play it for you!!
