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.

Snow Bunny

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. 


John McCrae

You called?

Maybe we can help solve this transportation snag. If you feel as though you are going to slide off the patty wagon, (hehehehehe) just whistle!

Or maybe, we can put some windows and remove the roof and have a top down!

You're speaking my language now! CONVERTIBLES RULE. (I will never have another hardtop as long as I live!)

AAAAABBEEEEEY!

THANK YOU, Blue!! I know you were having a lot of trouble getting her picture to work out but you did a beautiful job. What a beautiful way to memoralize (is that a word? lol) my darling Abbey. I thought I was over the pain of losing her but I'm bawling my eyes out right now. The tears aren't all sadness, there are tears of joy mingled. Thank you again.

It's a wonderful surprise!!! Thank you so much! (((HUG)))

"Coyotes" is a good name for those peaceniks you deal with each weekend, too, so that works out great.

I'll be back with y'all shortly. I've got to regroup here.
