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

Goddess, this is a "serious" event. Please treat it as such. This is not a contest for gawking at men and treating them like a piece of meat. After all, men wouldn't do that to women. Right? LOL!!

Got one for you. Sigh! Those were the days.

This was during the time when Theisman was the still the quarterback and they just won the Superbowl: my brother had a friend who worked for the Skins and for my birthday, he gave me a football signed by all the players! I still have it and keeping it under lock and key.

Thanks for dinner. Good to be home. Nothing but computer problems at work today. Oracle crashed a couple times, FR slower than a snail, (or maybe it was my computer.) *HUG*

I'm glad you had the opportunity, and were able to take it, to make that veteran's day. He will remember it forever.
