| 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.

 To our veterans - Thank You  Veterans Day A day set aside to honor our country's living veterans. At the Foxhole honoring veterans is a major part of our mission. Whereas we will not forget those who died or our POW/MIAs, and those who are currently serving, today we specifically honor those men and women living among us who have served our country in times past, our living veterans. Especially here at the Foxhole we are blessed to have veterans as part of our Foxhole family both as readers and contributors.  We would like to welcome all our veterans to the Foxhole on this very special day as we attempt to honor you and thank you for your service to our country. Freedom is not free and our debt to you and those gone before you can never fully be paid. May God richly bless you all. Welcome home and we will never forget. It matters not where, when or how your served; here at home or in a foreign land, in the air, at sea or on land; in peacetime or in war, on the battefield or behind a desk; on supply lines; as an engineer, a mechanic, an infantrymen, a cook or medic. You chose to volunteer or fullfilled your duty by the draft and served America and we are forever grateful. Every job is important as they all support each other and the cause of freedom. Some sacrifices are greater, yes, and some service more dangerous than others, yet all service is sacrifice by the troop and their family and we highly respect that service. Some gave all, all gave some. Thank you all - from SAM and snippy "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." --Thomas Paine, Founding Father "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their Nation." --George Washington "Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain." --Dwight D. Eisenhower  Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done their duty. --- Department of Veterans Affairs      |
Good morning
Well it is so far.....BUT
Massive UFO Fleet Filmed Over The UK
http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/
Having recently reported on what seems to be an increase in UFO sightings over the UK in the past few months, a reader has come up with the goods and sent in some outstanding film footage and photos of what must be the biggest ever UFO fleet filmed over the UK! What you are about to see is very similar to the UFO fleets filmed over Mexico City in the early 1990's.
We were contacted by Gene Harley on the evening of October 20th, who said that he had just seen a gigantic fleet of UFOs flying close to the M25, which he managed to film on his mobile phone camera.
Gene spotted the strange anomaly in the sky whilst driving along the M25 with a group of friends which included David Kedwell. He stopped the car and retrieved his digital camera from the boot, which for some unknown reason decided not to work (a classic phenomena related to UFO encounters). Luckily, Gene had his mobile phone on him which incorporated a small camera and he took the photos and film footage that you see here. The still photographs do not accurately show the craft as they appear in the film footage - the reason is because of obvious camera shake which slightly distorts the actual shape of the objects caught on film......
I'd recomend covering yourself in aluminum foil (heavy gauge), and hiding under the bed. It's a well know fact that aliens never look there.
:-)
No, not yet. We did have a trace the other day.
It is supposed to be 59 degrees. It will start getting cooler by the end of the week days in low 40's.
We've had a great year for weather, this summer was hot for a month or so. Fall has been good to us so far. I hope we have a mild winter.
Are you sure ? :-)
HOW TO TELL IF YOU'VE BEEN ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/features/aliens/61251
By NICK JEFFREYS
Roswell, N.M.
MOST people have been abducted by aliens, say some UFO experts -- so odds are you're one of them.
"Extraterrestrials possess the ability to wipe human memory clean," said Dr. J. Albert Longneck, a UFO investigator from Houston, Texas. "You could be kidnapped once or twice a week and you wouldn't remember a thing."
But there are detectable signs that you've been taken aboard a spacecraft and examined, according to Dr. Longneck. Here is a revealing excerpt from his upcoming book Did I Forget I Was Kidnapped By Aliens?
•You're drunk a lot -- Aliens take advantage of boozers because they're used to forgetting huge blocks of time and some really embarrassing stuff, said Dr. Longneck. ETs appreciate drunks because they don't have to waste their memory- wiper ammunition, which is expensive. They pick up a lot of people stumbling out of bars.
•You are mentally ill -- No one believes a psycho when he says he was in a space ship. Extraterrestrials take advantage of that fact by lurking around insane asylums and psychiatrist offices.
•You find a lot of puncture marks in your arms and you can't remember injecting yourself -- "These are from routine alien blood tests," said the expert.
•During an X-ray, your doctor discovers you are missing an internal organ you know you were born with -- "A lot of times aliens take out spleens, a lung, a kidney, an appendix so they can examine them closely," explained Dr. Longneck. Despite their advanced intellect, sometimes they simply forget to put them back.
•You wake up and can't remember everyday things like your name, the year, your address, your spouse's name, etc. -- "The alien scientists have sliced out a vital part of your brain," said Dr. Longneck.
•You cut yourself and your blood is green -- "This is when they've accidentally sucked out too much of your blood and had to give you a blood transfusion from their own blood bank," explained the expert.
•You suddenly find yourself in a foreign country thousands of miles from where you live -- "Aliens have a very bad sense of direction and can't read maps worth a damn," said Dr. Longneck. "They'll circle around the globe a lot, then get disgusted and just give their human abductees the boot when it's dinnertime -- alien wives are not very understanding."
•You look in the mirror and see that your nose is suddenly smaller -- "Many extraterrestrials are interested in plastic surgery techniques and will try them out on their captives," said Dr. Longneck.
•You develop an irrational fear of going to the doctor when it's never bothered you before -- "Your subconscious is telling you you've been poked, prodded, injected and probed enough," said Dr. Longneck.
•You suddenly discover you are missing a limb -- "You know you started out the day with two arms and two legs, and yet, when it's time to go to bed, one is missing," said Dr. Longneck. "This is an indication they have kept one of your limbs for dissection purposes."

Hi miss Feather
Ooooo
:-)
The first time I went backpacking in Wyoming, while stargazing and satellite spotting, I saw an interesting light zipping across the sky, then do 90 degree turns. Hmmm.
Turns out that area is the most likely spot on the entire orb to see ball lightning. Vey cool!
The lake behind my left shoulder is the place I was at the time, in the Wind River mountains.
LOL!
Look at those stinky socks! Put your boots back on son! Darn!
[Very cool picture]
Nice picture PE. Bit of a long walk for me. LOL
