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.

This one -- the one that he doctored to put different names on the jerseys!

He got sick of being on the "receiving" end of that thrashing, so he had to pretend that he was on the "giving" end!

Snow Bunny, my son Steve (MedProf) just called on my cell hone to say he has been unable to get back online, storms there affecting his ISP connection, like so many around the South.

He asked me to convey his regret he isn't able to thank everyone personally tonight and make replies to all the posts to him.

He truly DOES know GatorGirl's husband, and is anxious to renew their friendship!

Thank you for making him feel so welcome.

"I trimed back some of mine that are climbers and growing out instead of up up and away. hahahaa"

We tied ours to the fence to keep all the canes going in the right direction and to keep them up off the lawn and out of the way of the mower. It is still looking good, in spite of the evil weather we've had in the last week. (More coming. Just got the warning that there are serious T-storms headed this way with high winds (80mph), 3" hail and heavy rain.) Just what we need. The ground is SATURATED. The fields are losing more and more acreage to water.

Did I tell you the baby finch flew the coop? The nest is empty. He came back once, but didn't stay. Now we will take it down and weight it before more finches come for the second brood.

FlagMan - how about a B-1 flyover for The Bunnster?

I will LX, my ISP has decided to take a dump, and I can't even load the graphics from this thread, hopefully they'll be back up soon...

LOL. You know, I would have had some respect for him if he had been even just a little more original.

Actually, I think I had a video clip to go with that, too, didn't I? Let me try to find it.

I'm so sorry to have not returned before now to your beautiful post to me.
As I was telling Snow Bunny, I don't know how she manages to answer everyone, skipping back and forth to get every one!
She says she reads the whole thread and THEN plunges in with her replies.

It is indeed the fact God has guided and blessed me throughout my life that makes this end of life so enjoyable.
Thank you, Anna.

Finally, dear friend and sister in the Lord, I return to the post you made at #198.

That was so beautiful and inspiring a reminder to us all!
I was blessed the day we met in 1998 at the Carolinas Freepers Meeting, and ever since in our e-mails - through your encouragement, and our prayers for others.
You are a sweet example of God's handiwork; dear to me and so many others.

Hugs, B ~ ~ ~
