Tribute To HEROES

.

While the dogtag is used to provide information on an individual serviceman,
I also believe that the chain which holds them represents a connection to all
servicemen, no matter where you served, how you served or when you served.

.

The Minuteman in 1776 has a connection to the soldier fighting in Afghanistan today.
That connection is every individual who has ever served in the United States Military.

Each of us represents a link in the chain that connects that Minuteman of
over 200 years ago to the soldier in Afghanistan today.

The great intangible of America's wars beyond logistics,
beyond strategy, beyond wonder weapons and Generals,
is the spiritual force of its fighting men and women -
and that is the force that the USO so serves.

It's so nice to hear from one of our women in uniform and know you enjoy the Canteen so much. I'm glad to meet you, family member. Isn't Tonkin wonderful to make sure the flowers from the men in the military and the men at the Canteen are delivered each day? And now the fireplaces to relax in front of each evening.

About the transportations.....sometimes it gets a little dangerous, turning us loose in the things he provides. But somehow we survive AND we return each one all cleaned up and un-dented. LOL!! Wanna come along and ride with us?

Thank you for serving our country. :-))

We sure needed some protection and help during that chopper ride. I believe "harrowing" best describes it, don't you agree? LOL!! But Kathy managed to get us up AND back down unscathed, with the help of Duchess reading from the manual. Nothing like a little 'adventure' to get the blood flowing!

It's always good to hear from you on Mondays. Thank you for your efforts in protecting our homeland.

That's great that your Mom got a USO Canteen FReeper Style business card. My thanks, too, to whoever she got it from. AntiJen and tomkow came up with a great thing, didn't they? It's wonderful to hear how well they work.

I'm glad you come to this home Snow Bunny created for our troops. If you look in the Canteen kitchen, I'll bet you'll find a snack and something to sip on. Make yourself at home whenever you can come by!

LOL! So I'm not the only "newbie" to the use of computers? Your Mom will love it and I hope she joins us at the Canteen in the near future. We'd love to have her.

Thank you for serving Lady Liberty.
