snippy...you are awesome! I am Brian Wells (bkwells) mom and can't tell you how much this is appreciated. I am more of a lurker than a poster, but LOVE FR and all everyone does to support our country and our troops. bk's dad and I are both former Marines, but we love our Navy boy anyway...ha! He is a super son and a credit to our military. Thanks to all who take part in the Canteen.

GOOD MEEEEOOOW-NING EVERYONE!

Good morning, afternoon or evening to all our troops, veterans and allies around the globe! THANK YOU for protecting the USA and defending our freedoms.

Well, looky here! What a wonderful surprise. The USS TARAWA (LHA-1)and an opportunity to meet FReeper bkwells. This is sooooo cool! Thank you, snippy_about_it.

Sheila, wow, hi there.

Brian told me about being a military brat and I shared how being a military brat myself, (although long before he was) I lived in Las Vegas, before there was a "strip"!

He failed to tell me his mom was a freeper, too. That's great. I'm patiently waiting for him to pop in here.

Thank you and your husband for your service and sacrifice also.

Look at post 61, bk's mom posted!

Brian and I got turned on to FR about the same time and love it. His dad served in Vietnam (3rdMarDiv) and was there when bk was born. He was wounded twice (2 Purple Hearts). Left USMC and became AF and our travels began. I am saying a special prayer for all of you today. Thanks so much for your support.

Stop in to the Canteen today and see our tribute to the Tarawa.

I'd love to do one for Camp Doha, Kuwait also.

Maybe next week?

Oops, regarding my post 8.

Of course in order to post a tribute to the camps in Doha, I need to learn they are in Qatar, not Kuwait.
