FREEPERS: Are You a Vet or Currently Serving in the Armed Forces?

[Billie]

Are you a veteran or currently serving in the Armed Forces? If you would like to be included in our daily USO CANTEEN threads, please contact me by Freep Mail with information and photo.

Below are a few of the Freepers who have already sent their photos for inclusion. Some are in uniform; others have asked to be included with a current photo instead. We salute all our veterans and active service men and women and offer our heartfelt thanks for your service.

Logos served in the United States Army from 1962-83. SwedeGirl's husband was a 1st Lieutenant in the photo above, serving in Viet Nam 1/9 CAV Huey Lift Pilot 1969-70. Neil E. Wright's photo was taken in 1977 at CTF 72/ComPatWingsWestpac, Kamiseya, JA. He was in the Navy. FallGuy, Snow Bunny's husband, also served in the Navy on the USS KULA GULF. 1John submitted his photo in uniform and asked us to "guess the year" it was taken; hopefully he will provide that information since no one guessed correctly! Sneakypete's photo was taken after he returned from a mission in Laos, Viet Nam in 1969. T'wit's photo in uniform was taken during the famed "Berlin Crisis" of 1960. COB1 sent his photo from his first liberty out of Boot Camp. LadyX was a Marine in the Korean Conflict. She was a Classroom Subjects Instructor for women recruits at Parris Island. Dick Bachert submitted this photo from the U.S.A.F. when he was 24 years old. 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub served in the United States Navy.

I was active duty from 1994-2000 Fort Bragg, NC AIRBORNE

I am now a Deputy Sheriff in Leon County, FL and an active member of the U.S. Army Reserves.

I was called up on 04 August 2001 to serve a 3rd tour in the Balkans and I am currently still on active duty (as a reservist)

Hope this clears it up for you... God Bless America !!

That is a funny story. It brought back memories. I kept a MUCH-lower profile!

[Billie]

Thanks, David - I went to your site yesterday from your profile page and grabbed a photo of you in uniform. I'm not sure which photo you posted here, because it only shows an "Angelfire hosting" thingie.

[Billie]

I don't know why either, david. I thought I had a really good one from your web site (in uniform) - you don't want me to use that one?

[Billie]

Tonkin, I'm not sure at this point if I FReemailed bosnia or not? If not, I'll do it again and give you my email address to send the photo to me as attachment, bosnia - ok?

[Billie]

Glad to see you made it here, T'wit. :^)

[davidosborne]

Any of them are fine... I am really not picky..I was just getting frustrated with the "angelfire" logo default on my img src links.. This picture is just a snap I took from a web cam while surfing FR and trying out different sites for posting jpg's

God Bless America !!
