~ A Message from Snow Bunny ~

4 July is not just a day to party, cook out,
go to the beach, or recreate in a myriad of ways.

4 July has a much more profound meaning.

4 July is all about: Belleau Woods,
Inchon, Khe Sahn, Guadalcanal, Kuwait,
Tarawa, Chosin Reservoir, Grenada,
Bougainville, Hue City, Panama, Iwo Jima,
Somalia, Beirut, Peleilu, and many
other places where the price of freedom came due.

4 July is a day of celebration in our nation
precisely because of what so many unsung
heroes were willing to do
in order to make it so.

4 July comes and goes every year,
overshadowed often by summer vacations
and busy schedules.

4 July, however, brings to the forefront
in many hearts, the knowledge of what America might be
if not for the courage, sacrifice,
and dedication of the finest of her sons and daughters.

4 July is a day for every Veteran,
and those serving, to receive the recognition
that should come from a people,
who owe the precious gift of freedom to these gallant warriors
and servants of our Constitution..

4 July is a day in which we,
the "protected," stand and salute you.
Your efforts often go unrewarded and unrecognized
in a manner befitting you.

4 July is a day for at least myself
and you wonderful Freepers, to attempt
to honor these men and women properly
and to say, "Thank You."

What you have done, and continue to do
every day, makes it possible
for my family and I
to celebrate on 4 July,
and to live in "The Land Of The Free."

We can never repay you sufficiently for this privilege.

May God bless each of you!

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Tonk. We appreciate all you do in the CG.

[WVNan]

Good night GG. God watch over you and also over your husband.

[MistyCA]

Oh yeah.....try it with bananas in the filling too! Yum!

[ArneFufkin]

That's sweeet Victoria! Thank you.

OK, now I guess I'm going to have to go through the bother of putting MY poem in writing.

When will it be ready? I scoff at your impertinence Ms. Delsoul. My muse is not always available, at my doorstep and responsive to my every immediate summons - like an insurance salesman.

Write me a poem you say? "Hey da Vinci, paint sumthin' already! Use colors." Cretins!

LOL! Hope you're having a nice holiday Victoria! I called Tom Ridge and reported all the noise and commotion around my area tonight. No ... it's what I do as an American in 2002. Report my neighbors to the authorities! ;^)

Hi Misty and everybody here! Great to be home and to have some time to visit the Canteen tonight! WOW, what a great thread. Everybody has posted such wonderful graphics and interesting information. Teachers could use this thread to help teach American history.

Good to see y'all!

[SAMWolf]

Night GG!

[WVNan]

Ha. Gotcha.

Good Night Flagman.

[Victoria Delsoul]

it's what I do as an American in 2002. Report my neighbors to the authorities! ;^)

I don't care about your poems as long as you keep your sense of humor, LOL!

Happy 4th to you too, Arnie.

. . .

[WVNan]

Good night 4. Rest well.

[MistyCA]

Happy 4th of July, Tonk! thank you for the service you do to your town, your country, and the Canteen! :))))

[WVNan]

Valerie that looks just like our town's fireworks tonight...over the water like that. It's so beautiful.

[Senator Pardek]

I don't care about your poems as long as you keep your sense of humor, LOL!

And if I lose my sense of humor, will you still love me? - LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

I mean, Arne. LOL!

[WVNan]

Clupla? Whoa baby! You best quit whilst you're ahead.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

God sure has Blessed me by letting me serve my country again.
