Delivering a Touch of Home

A Touch of Home

.

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.

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.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The USO Canteen Honors FReepers
who have served, or are now serving their country.

.

You may have a loved one who has served in the past.
We at the FReeper USO Canteen would like to honor each and every one.

Thank you for serving Zbigniew !

Driving "all over Alaska" is not a very good recommendation. LOL!! A complete lack of roads, and two way at that. Hmmmmmmmmmmm........will have to take this under advisement. Were you responsible for all the squished porcupines?

SAM, I've only got a second, but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate today's thread. I've been wanting to know this story for months now. It's a beautiful story and I'm so grateful to you that you shared it. Please give your parents all my love and best wishes. Thank them for me, for raising such a great man. You're a treasure of a human being. What would life be like without SAM? I love you to death! I think I'll book mark this thread as one of my favorites.

I had to stop in a share though. We found out today our rabbit likes the "Dixie Chicks" too. ROFLMAO! Too funny!

Jen, I'm coming to see you. I need a break. Tell DH to empty out the hot tub and make the water all perfect for me.
