Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

Mornin' Mayor.
Thanks Iris7. I learn more and more everyday from your posts.
Good morning Tax-chick. Cool pictures huh Billy?
We're back and we REALLY, REALLY want a lot of the stuff we saw today! Keep up the OT and you'll be able to afford one.
Beautiful poetry and presentation you've created and left at the Foxhole today for Armed Forces Day. Thank you so much feather for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks Light Speed for the comparison information and the picture is fabulous!
Bill's playing "Lego-bots" at Lego.com :-). It's amazing how involved the kids (and their dad) get in these games!
He can read the thread today after supper, while Anoreth is washing up. Then I'm getting the piano out, and we're all going to learn "Men of Harlech." (The kids watched "Zulu" again yesterday!)
What the hell do you you mean, cowardly blacks? They died on your side didn't they? And who do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The grenadier guards!? (Adendorff)
Mr. Chard Sir! Patrol has come back, Zulus have gone, all of 'em. It's a miracle! (Bourne to Chard)
If it's a miracle Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry, point 4-5 caliber miracle. (Chard)
And a bayonet Sir! With some guts behind it! (CS Bourne)
The Zulu...Horns of the Buffalo....Jolly deadly old boy!
We have a non-stereo TV, so the sound doesn't mean to much to us. I like the DVD's because I can have the subtitles on, and read the dialogue while all the kids are chattering!
"Very strong bass section, sir, but they've got no top-tenors!"
LOL!
Thank you Feather, beautiful poem and presentation.
My pleasure snippy.
:-)
Thanks Light Speed. I still have a soft spot for the B-17.
"The B-24 was the crate they shipped B-17s in."
A saying some B-24 crews have concerning B-17s
It was nice to be able to get a real close hands on look at all this working equipment. I'm happy.
I really, really, really want the MG-42 we saw. :-)
"Zulu" is one of those pics I can watch over and over again.
"He's got a voice like a corporal,sort of like a female hippopottamus in labor."
"You mean your only plan is stand behind a few feet of mealy bags?"

To all our military men and women, past and present, and to our allies who stand with us,
THANK YOU!
Got a couple of minutes to sit while hubby grabs a quick shower. We'll be heading out shortly to visit his aunt, who's in the hospital for tests. We're praying they don't find any signs of a stroke. At least she's in good spirits and is taking this all quite well, actually.
I hope everyone here is doing well and having a great weekend! *HUGZ* for everyone.
