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 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.

Ohhhh -- thank you for the deer photo, Amy!! The Medicine Man who did my Healing Ceremony in the sweat lodge in their backyard gave me the Indian name "Walks-Among-Deer." Isn't that cool?? On my Mom's side, I'm a fairly decent percentage Choctaw. I just love the name! The sweat lodge experience was awesome, but -- SWEATY! *VBG* And talk about "draining!" I crawled out on all fours, and then collapsed with my face in the dirt! (I think my "feets" were still in the sweat lodge, so Gerry pulled me the rest of the way out! LOL!!)
Luv ya lots!!

To: WVNan; souris
I just love your new wardrobe, Nan!! Souris did a marvelous job!! I need a makeover something terrible, but I'm getting one for my birthday. (I know; my birthday is over, but Sharon White-Skaggs had an emergency and needed my slot, so I let her take it. I'll let my hair grow out a little more, and hopefully feel better when I get my hair overhauled!!)
You look marvelous, though! No overhaul needed whatsoever!! Hope you're feelin' as nice as you're lookin'! (In a NHW, of course!!)
God bless!

Howdy Seven!
I've been meanin' to meet you!! Are a "Trekker" too?? (As opposed to "Trekkies" who are, as you may know, the original bunch -- fans of the original Star Trek!) My personal fanatic thing started with ST:TNG, and I went to every convention that featured Brent Spiner as I could! Marina Sirtis too; she's a trip!
Hope to see you more often!!
"Live Long and Perspire!" Errrr, "Prosper!" (*G*),
