The USO Canteen FReeper Style
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.

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.


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. 

John McCrae 

.

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 !

Happy TGIF!!!! Everyone getting geared up to party tonight?

Howdy troops, veterans and allies!! Thank You! so much for living up to the words "Duty, Honor, Country." God bless y'all!

sniff! I'm so disappointed with this little unit today. I was all set to read the thread....and it wasn't there. Just a little white square, which I see all too often. I know I'm missing a goodie.

Well, I didn't broadside a moose...do I get points for that? LOL

LOL! yes, you get points. Had you broadsided a moose, he would have totaled your car and probably ended up in your lap, literally!
