If you know a Veteran, someone in your family, friend of the family, neighbor, who served their country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them. Thank them for the sacrifice they made for the better good of their country.
We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper Style, are thankful for every service member in our military, who has served our great nation.
So, to the men and women who answered the call, in both times of war and peace, thank you.
.
Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.
This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style. It is like a cottage down a road, a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.
Since it opened, it is magical how so many Freepers who post here, feel it too. It has been so dear how the Freepers kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place that had a huge living room for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.
Many Veterans have written to me, saying that the Canteen is like home to them for the first time since they served.
This is your Canteen - a respite from our busy and sometimes troubling world. Make yourself at home.

Arizona
Arizona from the splendor of the Grand Canyon to the multitude of wildflowers.
Our trip takes us to the Grand Canyon.......Anyone care to take an added trip down into this marvelous place?
Our next adventure happens when we get to......The Havasupai Indian Reservation is located in Havasu Canyon deep in the heart of Grand Canyon. Havasu Canyon is one of the over 600 side canyons together forming the 280-mile long Grand Canyon.
Home to towering waterfalls, beautiful cascades, and tropical blue-green pools this lush oasis is considered the "gem" of the Grand Canyon.
Beautiful Arizona landmark, Camelback Mountain
In a place called Sedona, there is something very mystical about this spot in Northeastern Arizona.
Sedona is unique in several respects. First is that it is relatively lush and seems rather out of place in a state better known for it's desert-like landscape. Secondly, Sedona has beautiful rich red rock formations that jet out of the sandy canyon floor, they look something like enormous sculptures against the azure sky.
Traveling over to Tucson where there are many things to see: ...Sabino Canyon, De Grazia Art Gallery, Seguaro National Monuments. But one of the stops we will take , is the Mission San Xavier.

Glad to share. The photo was emailed to me by a friend who had received it from someone else, so I'm not positive of the source. But it must be quite a sight for those pilots!

THAT'S GOD
Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a
sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone
you care for...THAT'S GOD...he talks to you through
the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be
around for you to talk to...THAT'S GOD...he wants you
to talk to him.
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you
haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you
know you see them or receive a phone call from
them...THAT'S GOD...there is no such thing as
"coincidence."
Have you ever received something wonderful that you
didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt
that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a
department store where you had just seen something you
wanted, but couldn't afford...THAT'S GOD...he knows
the desires of your heart...!
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue
how it is going to get better, but now you look back
on it...THAT'S GOD...he passes us through tribulation
to see a brighter day...

Love it, Aquamarine, with growing appreciation for country Western music.
Okay, Cobby, Mr. Expert - who is the singer on this one?
For the troops lurking without sound, the title is One More Day - -
