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.

Thank you for sharing the Adopt-a-village story, SAMWolf. It's always good to hear stories about our troops.

[LaDivaLoca]

Today's transportation for you and the Girlz.

Shotgun! Or am I too late? If so, then it's time to take out that velcro because it will be the roof for me. Sorry, but I'm claustrophobic.

I will keep Dillon in my prayers too, g'nad.

[Bahbah]

Hmmm. That dining table needs a special menu. And a bunch of FReepers.

[radu]

How ya doin' this evening, ms. feather?

[Kathy in Alaska]

“That’s what Adopt-A-Village is all about.”

Is it possible to set past the mindset that America is evil?

[LaDivaLoca]

Why do you nice ladies keep insisting on using four-letter words like that?

You mean, this?

[radu]

How cool! Supper by the fireplace tonight, and a friendly game of pool afterwards. Can't beat that! Thank you, Tonk.

[Soaring Feather]

I see what you men have in mind here! LOL Thanks so much for the lovely warm fire and you gentlemen set the table to boot! Does it get any better than this?

Pool anyone?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"How are you?"

Just about 90% normal.
Was healty enough to stand my watch with no problems.
I'm now off till Sat AM, just some Coast Guard stuff to do on the computer
tonight and tommorrow and a quick trip to the stote.

[LaDivaLoca]

WOW! Awesome graphics, SAMWolf! Wish I could learn to fly one of those beauties!

[Soaring Feather]

Pretty good thanks radu, how about you and the cats?

The kitties settling down now?

[tomkow6]

While I was attending a Law course, the
'Audi alteram parten' rule was explained to
us. Translated it means "To hear the other
party"

After discussing the subject at great length,
the lecturer asked if anyone didn't understand
the rule.

Responded one man "My Wife"

[radu]

I'm glad you're feeling better, Tonk. Take advantage of your time off and get some rest. Even mechanical things break down when they're overworked.

The kitties are still a bit upset but they'll get over it. I get to go through this again tomorrow...three more go in for their shots.

The best news today is that Buckwheat won't need any more cancer treatments. Doc thinks we've got it licked! Wooohooo!
