FReeper Canteen ~ Valentine's Day: No Greater Love ~ 14 FEB 2006

Honor Our Troops | Thank you for your service!!!! | We Support Our Troops

[GummyIII]

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

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

I pray that there is a service member somewhere listening to it having the same effect!

There has to be.   I have to run, but I bet there as many FR lurkers as there are posters. That's a lot of possible listeners!

See you later tonight.

POLAR STAR REACHES ANTARCTICA
MCMURDO STATION,
Antartica - The Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star arrived in McMurdo
Station, Antarctica Monday, after a non-stop 8,200 nautical mile transit
from its homeport of Seattle.

Polar Star, a 399-foot polar class
icebreaker with a 130-person crew, provided a relief channel and brief
escort of U.S. Naval Ship Lawrence H. Gianella before mooring in
McMurdo.

While on deployment, Polar Star will conduct icebreaking
operations in McMurdo Sound and continue grooming a shipping channel
previously opened by the Russian icebreaker Krasin. The channel ensures
that vital cargo ships can deliver supplies to McMurdo Station,
Antarctica's largest scientific and support community. Polar Star also
acts as a floating research platform for scientists that travel onboard.
For the past 50 years, Coast Guard icebreakers have deployed to
Antarctica in support of Operation Deep Freeze, where ships have broken
through as much as 84 nautical miles of ice to produce a navigable
shipping channel into McMurdo Station. This vital shipping channel
allows supply ships to deliver more than six million gallons of fuel and
four thousand metric tons of cargo, enabling McMurdo Station and South
Pole Station to remain manned and operational throughout the harsh
winter months.

Polar Star, which was specifically designed for solo
icebreaking in remote Polar Regions, turned 30 years old Jan. 17. The
cutter's red reinforced hull is made of 1.75 inches of steel that covers
a specially contoured icebreaking bow. The cutter can call on 75,000
shaft horsepower enabling it to break up to 21 feet of ice. Polar Star
has deployed 15 times in support of Operation Deep Freeze.

A Little Bit of "Horsey Relief"

TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY!!!

 

When horses nuzzle, normally, they are breathing into each other's noses; a way of greeting each other. The horse can either A: Recognize the horse as someone they know or B: Take in the new smell and meet the new horse.

A good way to make friends with a horse is to let them sniff your palm. Once they smell you out, you won't be a stranger anymore, and the horse can relax because of that.

Another reason that horses do this is to love on one another!!!!

Hope my Horsey Relief has helped to make your day a Better one.
