FREEPERS: Are You a Vet or Currently Serving in the Armed Forces?

Posted on 10/24/2001 7:40:43 AM PDT by Billie

Are you a veteran or currently serving in the Armed Forces? If you would like to be included in our daily USO CANTEEN threads, please contact me by Freep Mail with information and photo.

Below are a few of the Freepers who have already sent their photos for inclusion. Some are in uniform; others have asked to be included with a current photo instead. We salute all our veterans and active service men and women and offer our heartfelt thanks for your service.

Logos served in the United States Army from 1962-83. SwedeGirl's husband was a 1st Lieutenant in the photo above, serving in Viet Nam 1/9 CAV Huey Lift Pilot 1969-70. Neil E. Wright's photo was taken in 1977 at CTF 72/ComPatWingsWestpac, Kamiseya, JA. He was in the Navy. FallGuy, Snow Bunny's husband, also served in the Navy on the USS KULA GULF. 1John submitted his photo in uniform and asked us to "guess the year" it was taken; hopefully he will provide that information since no one guessed correctly! Sneakypete's photo was taken after he returned from a mission in Laos, Viet Nam in 1969. T'wit's photo in uniform was taken during the famed "Berlin Crisis" of 1960. COB1 sent his photo from his first liberty out of Boot Camp. LadyX was a Marine in the Korean Conflict. She was a Classroom Subjects Instructor for women recruits at Parris Island. Dick Bachert submitted this photo from the U.S.A.F. when he was 24 years old. 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub served in the United States Navy. YankeeinSC, husband of Commonsense, is a Viet Nam Air Force veteran. His photo was taken on the recent Freeper Cruise. Delta 21 is currently serving in the U.S. Navy, going on 20 years. JoeSixPack1 is retired from the U.S.M.C.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! If you do not have a photo online or on your computer, you can always take one to Kinko's (or some other Reproduction Place) and ask them to copy it to a floppy disk as a jpeg, then write me and I'll give you my email addy so you can attach it.
