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

Is that a 2 seater? If not, I'll follow you. But don't be smashing into Beamer's bowls again. He has more than enough dents.

I may never make it back to DC, but I did get to see the
Traveling Wall here in Alaska. A schoolmate is on the wall, as well as the young man on the bracelet I wore.

Very quiet day on watch today.
The CO and XO had a meeting with me today.
Turns out they have been discussing better utilization of me at the station.
It's part of a new Coast Guard program for Auxiliary members.
I'm in a unique category because of my radio watchstanding.
What they need me to do is become more involved in the operations phase of the base.
This will include working directly under the Operations Officer (my forner Training Officer).
I'll be working for him, the CO or XO as needed.
They will also be sending me out on the Coast Guard boats for training as a crewman.
The idea is to get me fully involved in all phases of operations
(except Law Enforcement which is not allowed for Auxiliary members by law.)
I'm still a qualified radio watchstander but instead of standing a regular watch
they want me "out from behind the desk" and into the station operations.
I'm really excited about these changes
and it will assist me in my new Auxiliary officer position also.
