FReeper Canteen~May~National Military Appreciation Month~May 5, 2005
May 4, 2005 | bentfeather/Canteen Crew

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

~May~ National Military
Appreciation Month~



We thank you, you who volunteer
To join the military to protect
what's here...
The Constitution, the Rule of law,
Our way of freedom loved by all
In this wondrous land of ours
Whose Stars and Stripes flow freely
O’er the land, whose seas are free,
Don’t tread on us... we are too, proud
To let you turn us into dust!

We appreciate your bravery, your valor,
Your honor, your gallantry,
Thank You for all you do.
And let Freedom ring the whole world through.










The price that's paid for freedom made
an entire family terribly sad.
A nation must know the price that's paid
of blood, of tears, of love,
greater than any made
a life for freedom paid.

May our gracious God touch the hearts
and ease their pain.
Their loved one did not die in vain...
A Hero walks tall in a lofty land
of peace and will be forever young,
In the Mansions of the Lord.

Amen

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) A relative will be seriously injured today, when a man dressed as a huge shrimp abandons his post at the opening of a seafood restaurant, steals an experimental hovercraft, and crashes it into your relative's motor vehicle. The worst part is, the insurance company will refuse to pay a cent.

Ya know I googled "shrimp man in a hovercraft" & oddly enough no images appeared! What gives?

Thank you for posting this.... Sgt. Rafael Peralta & Cpl. Red Cloud are heros of the highest order.

Every time I am reminded of the story of Sgt. Rafael Peralta tears come to my eyes. No greater love....

I'm awake, just terribly overworked. They keep selling new derricks, but won't hire any more draftsman to help. I miss sunshine!

I admit, I have garbled more than a few e-mails to the point where even I couldn't read them anymore.

AOL changed their e-mail software, and my e-mail addy gives me trouble sending e-mail now.
I can get e-mail, but replying sometimes requires me to sign out, and sign back in before I can reply.


And I'm 'too lazy' to bother with a 'real e-mail' proggy.
*chuckle*

I'm sure neither of you would like to see an e-mail full of "teh owrk tehre ot fo.... oh darn..."
