The hour is near
Time to face a New Year
A toast to good health, family, and FRiends dear
A wish for safety, prosperity, laughter, and love
And, many, many thanks! to those serving our Country
and, to the One above.

*******************************

OK, was that mushy? Was it cheesy? Yes! Heartfelt, too.....

And, speaking of "CHEESE" (after all....this is Free Republic : ))

You are cordially invited to the Canteen's
New Year's
: )

So guys and dollz it's time to boogie!

*******************************

HAPPY 2003!

Come on and party!

Please pick up your new CHEESY name tag for the ball HERE

(To "find" your new cheesy name, use the first letter of your first name for your first cheesy name. Use the first letter of your last name for the first part of your last cheesy name, or, your middle cheesy name, and, use the last letter of your last name for your cheesy last name. [Thanks LindaSOG. I tweaked the formula. : )]
For example: The name Hillary Clinton becomes Hereford Hop Curd Nokkelost.)

Hey, if that's too much, just pick a few cheese names and have fun! : )

*******************************

So, everyone LET'S CHEESE ROLL! LET'S CHEESE DIP! AND, LET'S HAVE A CHEESE BALL! : )

Even Santa get in the act when over 20,000 lbs. of mail starts to get seperated in the ship's hangar bay. The event took most of day with several "mail calls" for the crew to come pick up their sorted mail. (Photo by PH2 Feliz Garza Jr.)

An S-3B Viking has an interesting piece of "nose art" painted on it while parked on Constellation's flight deck.

Welcome to the USO Canteen FReeper Style, where we honor, daily, our troops, our veterans, their families and our allies. Someone is here 24/7 and the Welcome mat is always out.

Please jump right in, LiveFreeOrDie2001, and help us ring in the new year.

I love it! Ok, I'm out of the duldrums, how sweet you are...!

I sent a letter to our troops and forwarded the link on to others. The Spirit is with them!

[Dubya]

Nice song. Amen.

Thank you all for your sacrifice for our Freedom.

I sent the link to e-mail our troops to my 15 year old Daughter who lives with her Mom. She is a sweetheart and is a writer, she'll compose a wonderful letter.

[Dubya]

Thats great. I bet she will do a good job.

Way to Go!! Any time we think we are having a tough time we can think of our troops out there protecting us and our freedoms.

C-2A GREYHOUND: The C-2A Greyhound is the “Carrier On board Delivery” (COD) aircraft. The C-2A provides a means to transport spare parts, mail and people to and from the ship. A two-plane detachment from the VRC-30 “Providers” flies in CVW-2.

Hey, I just learned something. Now I know what COD stands for when I watch JAG. LOL!

[American Preservative]

OK troops and everyone, time to bring out the party favors. : )
