The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Sorry...working on getting the title fixed...I’m under the weather, but work goes on.
The picture of Lori Ann smiling breaks my heart. She was obviously a wonderful person, giving her all for our country.
Evening, Kathy!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Blue and Tippy are enjoying your weekend.
The thermometer in the shade on my deck says 90!
Good evening, JJ...((HUGS))...enjoy your retirement. Eventually the “right” job will come along.
It’s 90 on my deck. Much too hot. Thankfully my big box fan does a great job.
Heroine
This is not the best one to bring up, that description is similar to the falsehoods that were poured all over that event, including the real heroes who are skipped over because of the females who were just there.
Oh no. I hoped you’d be feeling better today. :-(
The real hero of the ambush was taken alive and executed, his Silver Star was posthumous, but he put up a fight which for a long time was described as Jessica Lynch’s heroism.
“What upset me was they admitted it wasn’t Jessica Lynch, but they never bothered to find out who that soldier was,” Arlene Walters told reporters late Thursday.
“Empty gun magazines were found near where Walters was captured, suggesting he fired until ammunition ran out. Before his capture, he was shot in the leg and stabbed three times in the abdomen with a bayonet, Strong said, citing the report.”
“It was four years later when the military and Lynch acknowledged before Congress that Sgt. Walters should have been the focus of all the attention.”
Good evening, radu...it’s HOT. Twice momma of 4 and momma of 7 the younger have been here. No big ducks til just a bit ago. And I think I have heard thunder a couple times. And the weather on my phone shows a really cool lightning bolt...that will be the day. LOL!
Hope your area gets a shower or two,even if just short ones. The poor corn.
