I love that photo!! Were you at the candlelight vigil on Sat.night,and did I get to meet you? What an incredible weekend, we supported our troops!!! I got to speak to my Marine son Jensen at 5 this morning,calling from outside of Haditha,Iraq.This was just the second time in over a month, I live for those phone calls.I told him he would have been proud of us in Crawford!! He and his wife Tisha are expecting their first baby this month,21st of Sept.It's a little boy,they're naming him "Aidan Jensen Perry" I hope to be there for his arrival,Jens is still in Iraq. If anyone would like to send them "baby stuff", or just letters and cards, I would really appreciate it.I'm so proud of my Marine, and I know Tisha is a bit lonely and scared,and they're young, 20 and 21. Keep them in your prayers,blessings to all

Welcome to the Canteen, 911angelady, where we honor our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies every day. We are here 24(mostly)/7/365 to provide a place for our military to stop in, pull up a chair, and enjoy a joke, hear a song (requests taken), read some history, enjoy a cyber meal (no calories), hear about our families lives, join in the silliness, and just relax.

Thank you, Jens, for your service to America.

The due date for Jens and Tisha is September 21st?
Drumbo, a Canteen DJ, and his wife are due the same day!

We left the rally around 3:00 (we got there at 9:00 a.m.). The only FReepers I met were laurenmarlowe, mylife, leapfrog, jrewing and FFforFreedom.

It was a magnificent day, indeed. Just by chance I was able to help direct the caravan into the parking lot. That was exciting.

Congrat to your son, DIL and you on the baby. I will say prayers for all their well being.
