I want to thank Billie for making this wonderful picture for all of us. And for doing this thread with me. She was very gracious and generous with her talent to do this. I begged her to please be in it as well, as she is the artist and is a beautiful Freeper inside and out.
One day there was a discussion about how wonderful the USO has been for our Troops and their families. A Freeper, Timeout, a lovely lady suggested we have a USO type thing at FR. We talked and decided to do a Freeper version so everyone here could participate.B4Ranch also gave me some ideas .
Billie and I present this to each of you for our wonderful troops and to support them .

These will be running threads, please stop by the Canteen day or night and post to our Troops and their families and enjoy some of the refreshments we will always have for you. God Bless you all and our troops and their families , our President and America.

Hi there, SB. I've got this big Rubbermaid container full of Chex Mix I made this afternoon,,,, NO PEANUTS,, Cashews Only,,, Nothing but the best for this USO crowd. Thought they might enjoy something a little salty with their brews as they dance.

SB, I noticed on the first thread that you are saving the couch for me,,, actually, laying down is sort of uncomfortable. I spend a lot of time recupping in a Big Bubba Lazy Boy (no cooler in the arm, tho). If you don't mind, I'll drag a recliner over in the corner and watch the action from there!

Coast Guard Auxiliary Needs YOU, M and F, 17 yrs and up (no high age limit)
No boat or experience needed, help needed in all fields, especially Search and Rescue Patrols

I just heard on the radio Coast Guard is at it's highest alert since WW II.
Coast Guard now in Dept of Defense as of Sept 11 instead of Dept of Transportation
I found this on Coast Guard Auxiliary website:
Thanks from the Commandant -- Today I received a call from ADM Loy, the Commandant of the Coast Guard. He called me to express his personal thanks and that of the Coast Guard for the response and service of Auxiliarists and the Auxiliary in providing the critical assistance needed for the Coast Guard to accomplish its missions and carry out its assignments during the last three weeks.
He said, "We couldn't have done it without you."

I'll be in District 13, Division 5 Flotilla 51 COOS BAY, OREGON

[dixiechick2000]

Thank you both for the USO Canteen! You did a beautiful job! The talent on FR simply amazes me! Also, I'm glad it will be a daily feature on FR.
Also, thank you, Snow Bunny, for Thread 2. I was having a devil of a time with Thread 1! ;o)

(If you have a bump list, please include me...thanks)

[HEFFERNAN2]

MARINE BUMP. And thanks for the USO link. Remember folks to write and/or send "care packages" to the G.I.'s. Semper Fi, Mike

Has anyone done the Adopt a Soldier?

[WrenchChucker]

Looks real good, Snow Bunny. I got a Brother-In-Law a bit early out of this War. My Sis and her soon-to-be got married a day after he caught wind of shipping out, rather than waiting until next Spring. He's part of the Home-Land Defense. Former Paratrooper, now an MP. Gotta keep the shores safe!

My Sis doesn't know when the real ceremony will take place. She was married in a business suit while he sported his military BDU's!

Nice digital collage, above. Between my University classes, I hope to be stopping back from time to time.

I know I spelled yacht wrong.
I just wanted to point out that when either one of you ping me,
please copy and paste this:

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub

no spaces and wrong spelling for yacht
otherwise I'll miss my pings
and I'd never want to miss a ping from either one of you!
