I have a number of Hollywood Stars who`s income I will not ever willingly or knowingly contribute to.

Me too, Radix.

These people make a living by pretending to be someone that they are not! Considering that they are professional fakes, why on Earth would anyone listen to anything that they had to say?

My favorite lines!

[LaDivaLoca]

oooohhhhh! That transportation is way too cool. Thanks,Tonkin!

I will never have a Barbara Streisand CD in my home, no reruns of Lou Grant, and no Alec Baldwin anything. It’s my way of “doing my part” in this battle.

OH for sure! I try to stay away from the TV and every Hollywood crap I can. Those people don't deserve my time or my money.

Good evening, Victoria. Beautiful cat picture. I hope you had a good teaching day. The first thing I do when I get to work is play Bless This House and repeat the Prayer of Protection. They start the day off just right.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Sam. I have a song for ya.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Kathy! Good to see you.

There is nothing like a prayer to start a day the right way.

[SAMWolf]

What happened to "Babe" and thumbs up?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Evenin' Sam. You were going to get the tubes question later tonight. But AF saved me from asking. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi AFCATMRet. Nice to see you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nice to see you visiting here at the Canteen.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Love the graphic, Sam.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hiya Radu. And special song for you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We are all proud of him too. Whenever he goes wherever he goes, please let him know about the USO Canteen FReeper Style. We honor, daily, our troops, our veterans, their families (that would be you) and our allies. We know his free time will be precious, but we are here 24/7 if he just needs to see others, besides Mom, who thank him every single day for his service to our country. And he can have a few laughs too! LOL! Any Mail Call Monday shows us all that the Canteen is a piece of home.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! C

[Kathy in Alaska]

LaDiva, welcome!. You sure have some of the cutest pictures.

[LaDivaLoca]

This is so sad - my condolences and prayers to the family.

[Terry's Take]

[LaDivaLoca]

Thanks for posting these, SAMWolf! Glad to know our troops are kicking butts out there. I am so proud of them!

[LaDivaLoca]

(choke) and we are proud of Bartt and the rest of the men and women who put their lives on the line, fighting so that we can live free. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

LEST WE FORGET

Operation Enduring Freedom

With the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the 160th went to war and began one of their most intensive and largest operations ever.

March 2, 2002 was a black day for the 160th and American special operations in general. Two MH-47E's from 2nd Bat were inserting observation teams in the southern end of the Shah-e-Kot Valley. incomplete

The next morning two more MH-47E's, Razors 1 and 2 approached the mountaintop with members of a Ranger Quick-Reaction Force. Dawn was just begning to break as Razor 1 began it's landing from the south. Immediately heavy small-arms peppered the aircraft and the door gunners began to return fire. Suddenly a RPG round hit the side of the aircraft, but unlike Razor 3 the night before Razor 1 was too badly damaged to limp away and crashed on the mountain top, badly wounding many Rangers and both pilots. To make matters worse the right hand door gunner, Sgt Phil Svitak had been hit by AK-47 fire just before the crash and died soon thereafter. One member of the Ranger QRF was hit and killed inside the aircraft and two more died as they tried to exit and set up fighting positions. Only air support and the supreme effort of the other members of the QRF who'd advanced 2,000 vertical feet under fire after having been dropped off in a safer position below saved the crew and passengers of Razor 1.
