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.

Hi SAM.

[Mr_Magoo]

They are alive and in ok shape. Still need to get them out.

[COB1]

"Yes , thank God they are all out now."

AMEN!!
Thank you, Lord!

I don't know how many remember the little girl named Jessica who was trapped in a pipe in Midland, Texas.
This reminds me of that night when they finally pulled her out after five days (I think).
The rescue man who finally got her out said that she was coming out in one piece or two if he had to pull her leg off.
When I saw her in one piece, I lost it!
The tears ran for hours!
I know just how the family members and friends of these miners feel tonight.

[Snow Bunny]

Good post!! Thank you so much.Good to see you.

[Snow Bunny]

OH they aren't out yet? Thanks Mr.M I guess I got excited and didn't pay attention. I hope it still goes good now to get them all out of there. Thanks again my dear friend.

Every screw and nut is accounted for and put away.

Yes, those screws and nuts can be very nasty sometimes. I'm glad you put them away and I hope they stay away forever!!! I hate screws! Especially the nasty looking ones with big distorted heads, hahahahaha.

All Nine Trapped Miners Still Alive, Family Says

SOMERSET, Pa. (Reuters) - All nine miners trapped for three days in a flooded Pennsylvania coal mine are still alive, a family
member of one of the trapped men said on Saturday.
