At the FReeper Canteen!

C'mon and take a break ! Walk on over to the water cooler and lets chat. Post your thoughts, opinions, news of the day, rantings, ravings, pontificates, hypothesis, hyperboles, your soap box cause, your mantra, your baggage, your garbage, your blogging, your secrets, whatever you feel would make talk around the water cooler real interesting!

Please remember that The Canteen is here to support
and entertain our troops and veterans and their families,
and is family friendly.  

 

 

We were dressed and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.

We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. As we walked out the door, the cat we had put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird.

My wife goes on out to the taxi, while I went back inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, 'He's just going upstairs to say Good-bye to my mother.'

A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I said, as we drove away. 'That stupid b*tch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her ass with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat a$$ downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!'

The cab driver hit a parked car.

VFW Celebrates 112 Years of Service to Veterans

A message from VFW Commander-in-Chief Richard DeNoyer

September 28, 2011

On the 29th of September each year, we celebrate the creation of one of America’s most iconic organizations — the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.The VFW has a long and proud history of serving and protecting America’s veterans, service members and their families, as well as being stalwart defenders of the U.S. Constitution and of a strong national defense. Now, more than any time in our history, a strong VFW is instrumental in keeping our military and our nation strong.

Through every war and conflict in the 20th and 21st centuries, the VFW has led the way to promote strong military and veterans’ legislation. As in the past, today, the VFW advocates and supports those deployed to operations in locations around the world while still maintaining vigilance and representation for multiple generations of veterans and for thousands of service members stateside.

VFW and its Auxiliary members are making a remarkable difference at a critical time in our country’s history. Our accomplishments are significant and many, from helping to create the Department of Veterans Affairs, the World War II GI Bill, and Agent Orange and Gulf War Syndrome legislation, to leading the way on traumatic injury disability insurance and a new 21st Century GI Bill.

The VFW has recorded 112 years of unwavering commitment and extraordinary service to our nation. It’s an amazing record we are justifiably proud to lay claim to. Our distinguished history of service will always serve as inspiration and as a guide for the future as weremain always steadfast in doing all that we can to improve the quality of life for today’s service members, veterans and their families.

God bless our troops and our veterans, and God bless America.


Signed,

Richard DeNoyer

VFW Commander-in-Chief
