Freeper Canteen: Welcome Home and Thank you Vietnam Vets! 05 Nov. 2004

The Canteen All Stars

[Diva Betsy Ross]

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces

Looking forward to tomorrow's freedom? Support The United States Armed Forces Today!

CAMP RUN-A-MUCK

So much has been said and written about our Vietnam Veterans and our military men and women over the past few days. The message out there is loud and clear: Americans support our troops! In my opinion the election we won this week for George Bush is indeed a message to our troops; that we trust you, and to our Vietnam Veterans; that we love you and want to make things right again. And to both groups; We do believe in you as much as you believe in us. Still I feel as though there is one thing missing- a proper THANK YOU for all your sacrifices.

I have heard many stories in the past few days that active duty troops would like to see their brothers and sisters from Vietnam finally get the respect which has always been due them.

With that in mind,this thread is dedicated to our troops, both home and away , for our Vietnam vets and for all of their loved ones.

Most of us are sorry it took so long to get our message to you- please know many of us have held this message in our hearts for a very long time:

THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!

FEILD TRIP HERE!

Those Americans who went to Vietnam fought for freedom, a truly noble cause. You and your comrades-in-arms who faced danger and death in Vietnam fought as well as any Americans in our nation's history.

Vietnam was not so much a war as it was one long battle in an ongoing war -the war in defense of freedom, which is still under assault. This battle was lost not by those brave American and South Vietnamese troops who were waging it but by political misjudgments and strategic failure at the highest levels of government.

The tragedy- indeed, the immorality-of those years was that for the first time in our history our country and its government failed to match the heroic sacrifice of our men in the field.

This must never happen again.

~Ronald Reagan~

To all those who have worn the uniform of the United States of America I say to you: You are America.

That looks like a tuckered out kindle, Tonk.

I'm leaving food out for two young cats. About 6 months old. Don't know if they're boys or girls. One's black with a white chest. The other's white with brown and black splotches. No one's sprayed around the porch or bowls. So, I guessing they're girls.

I just can't get enough of that statement! Remember when we thought the nightmare of the campaign would never be over? Thank you, Lord, for giving us a president with courage, conviction, and CAPITAL!!!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Hello there Mr. Deth! Did you know that you just stole my woo hoo? ;} I was tryin to get that 50 post and you got it. SO Woo Hoo to you!

That is nice of you to feed those kittens. Are you going to keep them?

[Lady Jag]

HEY LADY J!! Got any new groovy graphics?

DBR, I don't believe so. Been doing other graphics for outside the canteen and following Tonk around.

I did read that Sarge is up to some new tricks.

[potlatch]

LOL, it depends on what you mean by 'groovy'!! I got the Poem from Intrepid from TEXOKIE and it is my favorite plus a couple of other wonderful images. I may sneak in a picture of my Yorky pup if you aren't careful!!

[Old Sarge]

I did read that Sarge is up to some new tricks.

And the expression on the face is mutual, I'm sure... ;D

HUGZ, J!

The other side of the porch.
Scooter is in the blue box sleeping!

[Old Sarge]

BETSY!!!

Why yes, I like fried chicken...

[Jack Deth]

I'll try to, Diva Betsy:

They don't run away when I bring out the food and water. Nor do they have collars or tags.

I'm up for a TDY sometime early next year. I also live alone. So I really don't want to bring them inside and get them too domesticated. Only to up and leave for a month or more.

I think we'll all just stay friends for awhile.

See what happens.

Jack.

Okay - one question - can the American Red Cross be trusted - I am really still upset with how they handled the funds for 9/11 - so just asking - because it says the Red Cross will be the ones giving the cards -

The site is great - will use if you believe the troops "will" get the cards -
