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!
Good morning TROOPS!
A certain bird person went missing for a few days. Here are some clues to her where abouts.
1) I hold the seat of power in my land. 2) The President of the United States has residence here. 3) It's not a State, but a District. 4) I saw the Viet Nam Wall and other monuments. 5) Poets gather there for Conventions! 6) Where was the Convention held??
Because our Military is strong, we are assured, that in America we can do our dreams. Anyone may write, be free to travel, free to be what our heart desires.
bentfeather, read her poem in front of judges and sixty poets. My poem did not win, but I won a door prize to return next year to compete again.
So what did we do the rest of the time?? There was live entertainment, dancing, dining, open mike reading, chatting and making new friends. I now have friends from New Zealand.
~Tony Orlando & Dawn~Knock Three Times On the Ceiling~
Tony Orlando was our entertainment for Saturday night. He is fabulous! Tony Orlando is also, a big supporter of our TROOPS.
~Tony Orlando & Dawn~Sweet Gypse Rose~
~Percy Sledge~If You Don't Know Me By Now~

Okay, enough about me. Now on with entertaining our TROOPS! Thank You all for your service. Without your volunteering to service our country, a trip as this might not be possible.

Thanks for todays thread, Poetess!
Hugs!
Good evening Ma!
Good evening Canteeners and Troops!
Loooooong day today..
almost 100 donors presented..
Whew!
Sad news..
We have lost BNAS..
Here is a sentiment from a Maine Freeper that says it all..
I am sorry if it is too political..
"Well congratulations Maine voters, you have been sending US Military haters to Washington and now you have gotten what youve been hoping for, less military in Maine, BNAS GONE!
Yup, lets give olympia, bill, susie, tom, johnnie and crowd a great big hurrah."
Just wanted to let you know how it went down..
I'm in for abit..
Hugs alla round!
Ms.B
