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.

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.

I love the trivia. Keep posting it. I had lots of fun with it. It makes the brain cells stretch. Several answers were on the tip of my tongue and I had to search them out. LMAO, the one I just couldn't remember was the polka. How dumb is that?

[Kathy in Alaska]

"Hey, don't I out-RANK you now? You can't talk to me like that!"

Linda, we need to talk. Duchess' rank has already gone to her head in just a few hours. LOL!!

I hope the sky is clear and oh wow can you imagine on a night when the moon is full being out there. What a beautiful thing to see.

I love the photo of your Dad. What a doll he was ! Thank you for sharing. He is the best one for having his birthday date being today. He is why I am free. Thank you.

Thank you, beautiful Snow Bunny! He was a doll; I'll let my mom know you thought so (she enjoys things like that).

I appreciate your gratitude regarding his service - I'm grateful too, to all those vets! And I'm grateful to our active duty service men and women as well. We are so fortunate to live in this country, and to have such good and brave men and women willing to fight for our freedom.

*SIGH* A few years ago, maybe. Did you work to get your late days at work changed so you could do night time training, or is this part of God's plan for you and the Coast Guard Auxiliary?
