~ 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!

You think I didn't know? Ha! I can scrounge information too.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Victoria does pretty good. I'm only half as bad as usual when she's here, that 2x4 is a great incentive to behave.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Okey dokey, okey pokey. LOL.

[WVNan]

Maybe I could borrow her 2X4.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Ahem...

Hi Bunny and everyone,

I haven't had a chance to read today's thread; I've been attending to other things while I've been awake and able to move,

Do any of you know about igive.com?! If you log on to their site, and then "cyber-shop" from within their frame, a percentage of the money you spend on things you would buy anyway automatically goes to a charity that you choose and set before shopping.

There are several charities -- tons, actually -- and I have alternated between charities, to spread my "giving" around. I'm sure that anyone and everyone can find a charity worthy of benefitting from this program.

Just in case you have a difficult time locating one, I started one there today. It seemed fitting, somehow. I added the information for donating to the Barbara Olson Scholarship Fund at the Cardoza School of Law. I knew my mission wouldn't be complete until I shared the info with the Canteen! Would you gals (and guys!) pass along the information, so FReepers know they can do that?

I didn't check, but if FR isn't on igive, and if JimRob would like them to be a steady source of income -- anyone can add them! (Except me, I think, because I just added one!) It would be best if JimRob added the info to igive, though!

Please consider doing your cyber-shopping through igive (there are scads of stores that participate, as well as eBay, etc.)? Just go to http://www.igive.com, register, choose your charity, and then hit the "mall!" (They also have special deals and sales that are igive-only!) Unless you find another charity listed that you prefer, I would be extremely grateful if you chose Barbara Olson's Scholarship Fund as your charity! Thank you!

I love you all, and I miss you, and I hope to be back soon. Thank you all for keeping me pinged, as well as keeping me in your prayers.

God bless America!

Hi Beep, thanks for the info. Good to see you. Hope you enjoyed your day today. I'll be glad when you are able to be with us more. Jen
