FReeper Canteen ~ Valentine's Day: No Greater Love ~ 14 FEB 2006
Honor Our Troops | Thank you for your service!!!! | We Support Our Troops

Posted on 02/13/2006 6:38:15 PM PST by GummyIII

We Support Our Troops!  For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.


Love Pictures
No greater love hath a man than to give his life for his friends.

 

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT:  Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

On Valentine's Day, we celebrate love.  Usually we celebrate the love between a man and a woman.  However, there are many faces of love, and I believe that our men and women who serve or have served in our armed forces are  the epitome of love.  The sacrifice, the caring, the hardships--they endure all because they believe in our country, they believe in defending her people, and they believe in the rights for which our forefathers fought so adamantly.  I dedicate this thread to recognizing the faces of love that these fine folks show to us in so many ways.  God bless each of them.

More faces of love

 

Valentine's Day would not be complete without some good ol' love songs.  Click on the pictures and enjoy the tunes!  Here's to loving and being loved!

Nora Jones
 "Come Away With Me"

Ed Ames
 "My Cup Runneth Over"


Charlie Rich

Happy Valnetine's Day to you, too! What a sweet card and how sweet of YOU.

I'm doing fine...headed off to bed (a few of us "misbehaved" at the bar last night...I've suffered today...LOL)

How are things with you? And adorable grandbabies?

I had to share this with everyone. You know how we find these "real ads" that sound funny? Well, I found one in our local lab paper. This was in the "bulletin board" section

"Daiquiri" is a beautiful long hair, white female that has been spayed, and needs a quiet and caring home to reside. Contact.....

Oh, misbehaved, huh? Hmmmm, hope you had plenty of aspirin.

I'm doing fine. Haven't had an update on the grandkids lately. However, I did see DQ Kylie for a brief period over the weekend. She is almost 11 months now. Gosh!

She has this little thing she likes to do. When I put her on my lap facing me, she'll grab my blouse/shirt with both hands and start bouncing. I swear she thinks she's riding a horse. It is so funny.

Well, you have a good nights sleep. And, remember.....should you decide to "misbehave" again, drink plenty of water (or other nonalcoholic drink) and take vitamins (preferably B)

Certainly, Loves and Blessings to everyone!

I just wanted to drop in from work and say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! From our hearts to all of yours, thank you for everything you do, and may you be blessed in life and love all of your days!

I'll have to wait until I get home to enjoy some of the music, but I will certainly do that! Thank you for the posts, and again, much love!
