USO Canteen FReeper Style...Salutes One of Our Own....June 25,2002
FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

Posted on 06/25/2002 2:31:57 AM PDT by Snow Bunny


Today at the USO Canteen FReeper Style is a very special day. We have all heard that once a Marine always a Marine and that is more true than naught.

There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX . Her travels in life and into the lives of others has been numerous. Today join us in celebrating LadyX and her 50 years as a Marine.

Many of you have written to me of your appreciation for knowing LadyX and how today marks 50 years since she became a Marine. This is surprise to LadyX and OUR thank to you LadyX, for serving our country and for being a wonderful FReeper and friend.

Her service was during the Korean Conflict in the United States Marine Corps, instructing Women Marine recruits in classroom subjects, and later as a military wife.

With the Marine Corps at its greatest buildup then, for Korean combat, Women Marines freed men for their primary role - to protect our Republic and its ideals.


This is one of my favorite posts that LadyX made.
I saved it and cherish her words.

Yeah! Congratulations, LadyX! I can not possibly think of someone who deserves being honored any day of the month then you! Thank you for your service and dedication. Thank you for being a good friend to FreeRepublic and especially the Canteen! Have a beautiful and wonderful day!!

Thank you Bunny for your thoughtfulness in bringing this milestone to the attention of everyone here! This is a very significant and special day for LadyX, and I am glad that we are all able to share part of it with her. I don't know of any military people (or few) who do not remember the day they enlisted. It's big!

Happy special bday, LadyX!

The WORST thing about summer in Fairbanks was not the heat, but that D*MNED SUNSHINE all night! Dang. We'd go to bed at 1 am with the sun shining in our eyes and wake up at 6 am with the sun shining in our eyes! (This, for uninitiated freepers and canteeners, is why Alaskans can grow 90-pound cabbages and turnips as big as baby's heads...)

With the interruption with FR being offline, I've been struggling to catch up with replies, and finally saw the birthday wishes to you!
With most of those made, I sincerely wish you a wonderful birthday, Billie.

(psssttt - I still have Nancy Mehta's CREDIT CARD from 1998, and we can finally go to lunch to celebrate. How about it?!! We can rustle up Scuttlebutt and Daus and Invictus and Clar and all the others - go back to the SOPAC Saloon?? There are at least some stale peanuts there and some fruit cake razorback-bert left! LOLOL)

Thanks, Dave, for the compliment, and for the Scripture.

One of my mainstays is Psalm 121:1 -
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help."

God has been everpresent in my life, and the source of all strength.
