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.

Coming from you, Nan, I am highy honored.
Meeting you a while back, I loved the parallels in our paths, but most of all your beautiful spirit.

Jack knows, then, how many were aboard Parris Island then!
It was a sobering place for duty, daily hearing planes take off from the then nearby airfield, winging to the West Coast to take men to board ships headed for Korea.
You know, it doesn't seem so long ago, does it?

God's blessings and good health to you and Jack.

Hey 4. Winds? Where are winds blowing? Does that mean we'll get some cooler air over here? Whew, but it's hot.

I didn't find the video I was thinking of, but here's another one. This probably explains why he is nowhere to be seen.

Yes, Jack got in under the heighth minimum because of the need. He's about 5'4". He was 17 yrs old and weighed in at about 110 lbs. Just a little punk from a dirty little river town in Ohio. They made a man out of him and sent him to Korea as cannon fodder. But he was tough,, and survived. The idiot re-enlisted. One of these days I'll send Bunny all the material on him so she can do a tribute to him as a surprise from me. I haven't had time to pull the stuff together. Anyway, we are of the same generation and share so many experiences. You are still so cute. What happened to me?

You are So gifted with your ability to take photographs that seem as if the objects therein are about to move in the breeze or have dew drops fall from them - or come suddenly alive, like all those old houses you find, ready to divulge a thousand secrets about former occupants!
Even the sagging fences make a statement about former glory.

Thank you, Valerie, for sharing these beautiful things so we can see and appreciate what often lies far beyond the little patch of turf we occupy.
You transport us to other realms ~ ~ ~
