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.

UB lives up in Cottonwood, I believe. That's near I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff, quite a bit cooler than the desert cities of Phoenix and Tucson.

Isn't that neat about MuShu? My Keisha has ever fault known to man! I chose her from a breader as a puppy and obviously didn't know how to chose one very well, but she is such a neat dog! Our last chow was a beauty (Cinnamon) and had a very even temperament! Keisha is much more high strung and loves to romp around or run like blazes from the back fence through the kitchen to the front of the house as fast as she can go! Back and forth! And then she starts prancing! She prances like a pony!! LOL! I loves Chowchows. :)
Hope you are having a great day!

Hi SAM. I was just going to post to you and tell you I was thinking about you today. So glad to see you. I don't know if he will be coming over again or not. LOL I'll have to follow God's lead. Maybe I can help him see the light.

That's what I tried to tell him. I'm inspired to study now. God certainly doesn't expect us to wave a white flag and be peaceful about protecting our families and our nation. I guess it just freaked me out to have a Nazi in my house. I can handle a Democrat or a Peacenik but a Nazi? Creepy! However, I do care about this poor young kid and he is searching, so I'll do my best to help encourage him.

Souris that is so neat I love it !!! Your fantastic and the shopping is wonderful.....I am not sure which bag belongs to who, but we can always figure that out later. LOL
I guess now that Sam is back we have to return his credit card. giggle
To: SpookBrat

That would be the only tme he saw the insideof my house.
Plus I'd be looking for a way to ship his sorry ass back to Russia.

"You know what they say Spook...no good deed goes unpunished...lol!" For heavens sake, you are so right!!! ROFL! You would think I would learn my lesson wouldn't I? But nooooooooo, I just gotta keep on being NICE. Blech!

To: MistyCA

To: SAMWolf
Sammmmmmmm...... Hi there.....I am VERY HOt today...UGH

To: SAMWolf
DH is saying the same thing you are saying. Maybe you guys are right. I'm just a big sap and have to feel sorry for everyone. I think that's why God made men the head of the home. LOL
To: SpookBrat
Oh my gosh, Spookie! I would have called the FBI or something. hahahahahaha That young man needs to know God in a REAL way. I think he needs help. YIKES! You are a much better person than I am. I don't think I would ever want him back in my house or around my children.
