FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

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.

CASUAL SATURDAY AT THE CANTEEN

Liberty commences at the beginning of today's
FReeper USO Canteen thread
and, depending on your division assignment,
expires when the new thread for Sunday is posted.

***** A special invitation to our troops and Veterans
to join us in today's cyber trip. *****

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.

It'll be a cold day in Gila Bend before you turn evil!!!

(Gila Bend, AZ, usually has the hottest temperatures in the state, although they share that dubious honor with Lake Havasu City!!)

[Snow Bunny]

ROTFLMAO.....I love your humor and jokes....

Good to see you Mr.M

Snow Bunny

[SassyMom]

Hi Bunny! Looks like you had a good shopping day! WOO HOO!!!!

[Light Speed]

Micheal Dorn[Worf] is truly a talent...
He appears on the Hanna Barbara cartoon series.." I am Weasel"..as the voice of ..Weasel!
This is a very adult comedy series and has the adult psychological/criticise/humiliate banter about it...
Its twisted..but hillarious.
A friend said that weasel was Worf from Startrek...I thought ..your suckin dope buddy!
He was right..even after the dope...

[Snow Bunny]

[Snow Bunny]

2002 SAMWolf returns to the USO Canteen for his first full day of fun and games, causing a chain reaction of joy and happiness which reverberated throughout the Free Republic and spread to distant and far flung areas of the world.

Need your help here. CRS has struck again . . .

A few days ago someone asked on a Canteen thread for help finding a link to a wonderful 9-11 Tribute. I finally found it in my bookmarks and can't remember who asked for it!

As an American, I want to thank you for your kind words and for your support. My Ancestors(on my mother's side) had a funny way of migrating. They origanally camr from Germany and settled in Pennsylvania and Monnesota for the most part. My Grandparents, however, who were both born in Minnesota, immigrated in the early 1900's to Saskatchewan where their children, MY MOM was the youngest, were born.

Then my mom married an American from Tennessee and immigrated back to the US. living in Indiana, where I was born along with my sisters and my brother. we all now live in Maryland. PHEW!

[Snow Bunny]

HI my friend so good to see you.
