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
"Behind Closed Doors"



Patsy Cline
"I Fall to Pieces"

Celine Dione

Thank you to the many fine folks who helped me with music, ideas, pictures, and more!!!  Gummy

Didn't want to show favoritism. You think I want the rest of the Estrogena Gang on my case? Crazy though I might be, I'm not stupid!

It may not be for a year but time flies so fast. If hubby has to ever goes in fall, You know I'm tagging along. :)

You think it will be a busy day today with customers shopping last minute. Or was yesterday the really busy day. I guess the entire weekend was hectic.

I expect today to be awful...as in busy. Lots of guys doing the last minute thing that they do. I work till close, and I'll bet we have to stay there late because of the last-minute shoppers. It'll be good for business, though!
