FReeper Canteen~May~National Military Appreciation Month~May 5, 2005

[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

[Lady Jag]

I work for engineers... whole 'nuther breed!

Oh God! I married one. They can be highly useful and pleasant, but they break things, turn the decor to grease, and have no Sense-Of-Humor Gene.

[Lady Jag]

are you left handed?

[Lady Jag]

Are you and dad going to be able to fish with him?

Do you wear polarized sunglasses for fishing?

[AZamericonnie]

That a pretty boat!

[blackie]

Ah ~ but those muscles.

[E.G.C.]

Fishing's not one of my hobbies. Web surfing and visiting on message boards are.

Dad will probably go with him.

[AZamericonnie]

Lovely tribute Star...very nicely done!

[blackie]

But I have a black heart.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Hey Brother!

[AZamericonnie]

Welcome MamaB! Come on in!

[Lady Jag]

Tia, can you teach me to be nice as you? MamaB, I came here to learn how to be nicer but, try as I might, I still scare people sometimes. Some of us are here for remedial treatment, but we're somewhat harmless.

[Lady Jag]

Have you had the honor of being welcomed aboard the Canteen's yacht that Tonk graciously donated?

she said tongue in cheek...

[Lady Jag]

Ah ~ but those muscles.

Reminds me of the joke where the blonde says, "give me $500 and I'll do anything you want." And the guy gives her $500 and replies, "paint my house".   She could paint your house.

[AZamericonnie]

No I had not.... At least on this boat I know the life boats are good & they have life jackets!:) Great job Lady...I even see Tonk!

[Lady Jag]

I don't fish, either. I was just wondering if fishers really did wear polarized glasses which allow them to see into the water. And asked if you are left handed because statistically, most draftsmen and even more architects are left handed. Retired from Boston business, that sort of info still fuels me.
