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.

LBGA, that is so cool about your son's new "adventure". And it would be nice for you to be nearer to him for a while when he trains. Thank you for helping the Canteen honor its troops.

"or is this part of God's plan for you and the Coast Guard Auxiliary?"

HE Guides me, now and always.

[Snow Bunny]

Good to see you Buppy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Is tomorrow a day "off", or a "working" day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Buppy, you're here. How are you this evening?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Is tomorrow a day "off"

YES!!!!!
I sure need it to re-charge my "batteries."

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hahaha! You have a curfew too! You have 15 minutes. Read fast. Great thread today.

Hi Snow Bunny. : ) I found this picture of Ted at WWW.TEDMAHER.COM

May he be home soon!

[Kathy in Alaska]

DING DING, DING DING, DING DING, DING DING!! Eight bells, Buppy! 2400 hours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nice to see you AP. Thanks for stopping by with this picture and link for Ted Maher.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good for you. Relaxing and "recharging" every now and then is a good thing. Buppy's curfew is 2400 your time and mine is 0030. I think I'll say my good nights shortly and be ready. LOL!

God bless you good, friend Tonkin. I'm glad you had such a good day and more neat stuff is coming on Fridays. God bless you for your service to this great country, those years ago, and now for your service in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Thanks also for all you do for the troops Canteen. *HUG* I sure am proud of you. Sleep well and long.

[BringingUpPatriots]

Yeah, it goes by too fast...one hour isn't long enough. However, I am falling asleep here and I am THE ONE to round up the rugrats tomorrow for school (mine and some other kids who we are watching for a friend).

If it weren't for school, I wouldn't care how late!

GOOD Night, Canteen! GOOD NIGHT, TROOPS!!! Thanks for the mountain-load of things you do for us! God Bless YOU!!! BUPPY

[American Preservative]

Hi Kathy! AOK. : ) Requested at #368, and, there's FR info about Ted at #356.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well Buppy. Thank you for your help in honoring our troops, our veterans, their families and our allies. God bless you and Quick Draw and your family for all y'alls service to our country.
