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.

LOL, Cobby - have seen a few of those myself..:)))

CLUES:
No - they were not intended to peel mangos or pineapples.
They are not recommended for bean bag tossing.
They will not make cute little picket fences, all in a row along the driveway.
They are not intended for foxhole digging - a lone grenade will do the trick there faster and be more satisfying.

How'm I doin'??

I have no influence over the weather. God will do what God will do. Weather is His department. If you don't believe it just read the last 2 or 3 chapters of Job.

HEY, Patton had a Chaplain that did a Prayer that changed the weather...

I know, I'm just kidding Nan, hope youse guys are well back there, it's HOT all over...what I wouldn't give to be able to send SB and you about 4 trucks of snow right now!

I'll send Jack's photos and bio at some future time. I'm really busy right now. Preparing for guests over the 4th, and starting my new ministry this coming Sunday. I did finish trimming my hedges today. That's why I feel better. That is such a hard job it's a big load off when I get them finished. My yard will look pretty for at least a week. Ha.

Hi MM. "It says here," one woman told her friend, "A woman just lost her second husband, and had him cremated."
"That's life for you," the other remarked bitterly. "Some of us can't get one, and others have husbands to burn."
