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

Posted on 05/04/2005 8:06:40 PM PDT by Soaring Feather


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

Things are going pretty smoothly here today. No rain, either!

Perfect ~ I wonder if she can arm wrestle.

You are welcome to try. I'd rather keep my arm . . . and my lunch. Man, is she ugly!

Hi people!

I am just blowing through for a moment to introduce FReeper MamaB.

She's got some nasty stuff happening in her life, but she is a very sweet, brave lady!

She is unhappy with some of the nasty stuff happening on FR of late, and it is adding to her load.

So *I*, (smart Gal that I am) told her about the Canteen, and how it was full of fun people and how it was SAFE here, and never nasty.

And I asked her if she would like an intro and a PING and she said, "Yes".

So would you guys call your buddies, and please give MamaB a warm Canteen welcome?

Here's your PING, MamaB!

:-)

Thanks for the welcome. I am having a bad week since Sunday is Mother's Day. I do not remember very much about last year's.

I really got disgusted with some of the posters on the threads about First Lady Laura and am looking for a new home! lol. I will not be on much this aftrnoon since I am having trouble with one eye. It is hurting and my head is too. My allergies are really acting up! See y'all later.

I'm still a newbie in the Canteen so I can't welcome her but hello, anyway. :-)

The Canteen traffic does slow down somewhat at this time of the day so don't be alarmed about not getting overwhelming welcomings. :-)

Hello!

I figure anyone hanging out here can welcome her.

A lot of people in the Canteen are probably sitting down to supper right about now!
