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.

Christmas Gifts for men

LOL!!! I've got another one to add to the list...Power Tools, any kind of Power Tools. I've found that men like "more Power, more Power". (grunt, grunt, grunt)

:-))

Flying on Air Force One Tranzport the other night was truly a golden moment! I'm trying to find just the right frame for the group pic, which I printed off. LOL!!

Hi RA! Good to see you tonight. You doing OK?

[RadioAstronomer]

Doing great :-)

[Jen]

That's good. I'm OK but still a little sick to my stomach, but I'm getting better I think.

[RadioAstronomer]

I am sorry you were feeling poorly. :-(

[radu]

Good evening, bentfeather. Moving slowly this evening. I'm trying to conslole three kitties who are upset...they had to go in for their yearly booster shots and aren't very happy right now. Nobody likes going to the doctor. LOL!!!

Hope you're doing well this evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wow, I'm excited for you. You make us proud of how you are teaching your Jedis, and then others, the importance of honoring our military for gaining and protecting our freedoms. And a press release, huh? Good for you. Well, something about how important mail is to the troops, how easy it is to write, just talk about every day stuff, that maybe this is the only mail some of them get, and kid stuff is loved. Any help? BTW, congratulatons!

[RadioAstronomer]

Hi! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good to see you this afternoon.

[radu]

Hi starman!! Yeah, I forgot about calculators. LOL!! They kind of go with the Remote Controls, in my mind I guess. Anything with lots of buttons to push. :-D

[Soaring Feather]

Good rant Radix. I was chuckling all the way through!
