How wonderful..to be a part of The Canteen..
I can't thank you all enough...
The Canteen has forged new , strong, and lasting friendships..and most importantly, given me an opportunity to meet with some of the men who sarifice all, to keep us safe and free, and I am humbled...

Thank you Mr. Tonkin...
For your boundless love and dedication to the Troops, and The Canteen..
God Bless

Now we hear again the echoes of our past:
A general falls to his knees in the hard snow of Valley Forge;
A lonely President paces the darkened halls,
and ponders his struggle to preserve the Union;
The men of the Alamo call out encouragement to each other;
A settler pushes west and sings a song,
And the song echoes out forever and fills the unknowing air.

It is the American sound.
It is hopeful, big-hearted, idealistic, daring, decent, and fair.
That’s our heritage; that is our song.

We sing it still. For all our problems, we are together as of old,
as we raise our voices to the God who is the Author of this most tender music.
And may He continue to hold us close as we fill the world with our sound —
sound in unity, affection, and love — one people under God,
dedicated to the dream of freedom that He has placed in the human heart,
called upon now to pass that dream on to a waiting and hopeful world.

Another great post Diva Betsy Ross!

Thank you for including Iraq. (I love that picture).

Thanks to the US Armed Forces and our Coalition Partners,
Iraq is Free and Iraqis finally have a personal stake in the future of their country.

Freedom and individual interest in the future are the only way to lasting peace.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Shhhhhh! I don't want everyone to know. LOL!

Thanks to all who have ever served anywhere anytime so that we may have this day.

Happy Birthday to FREEDOM where ever she shines in the faces of the true believers!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Are you kidding me? If you are Peggy Noonan ( wink-wink) Then I am going to insist you come to visit me!!! LOL!?!?

Peggy on the fourth of July: "The American Dream. Our greatest institution. Our greatest tradition. It proceeds apace. Individual dreams continue to flourish, and we chase them with a freedom of movement, an encouraged creativity and a sense of possibility that remain unparalleled."
