Welcome to the USO Canteen FReeper Style

Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.

This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style.
It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.

Since it opened it is magical how so many
Freepers that post here feel it too.
It has been so dear how the Freepers
kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place
that had a huge living room
for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.

Many Veterans have written to me,
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they served.

This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy
and sometimes troubling world.
Make yourself at home.

Our Flag does not only fly at our homes and other buildings.
Our Flag goes to War,it is in the Battle along side our fighting men and women.
And our Flag flys in our HEARTS!

Arlington, Va., Sept. 13, 2001 — Military personnel salute as fire and rescue workers unfurl a huge American flag over the side of the Pentagon during rescue and recovery efforts following the 11 Sept. terrorist attack. U.S. Navy photo by Michael W. Pendergrass.

Our American Flag always shines brightly, Always. It aquires its brilliance from the American veterans who have fought and died to preserve it. This flag is our nations very highest honor. There is none higher.

This flag is offered by a grateful nation and the American veterans who have fought and died to preserve it. This flag is given by the United States of America in memory of your loved one. It is for their honorable and faithful service to our beloved country.

I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Beneath an unfurling American flag,
an American soldier tends a wounded
comrade in Gray's depiction of some of
the fighting in the Boxer Rebellion in China.

This detail is from a large panel that depicts
Colonel Liscum at the Battle of Tientsin on
July 13, 1900, when he seized the regimental
standard from a wounded color sergeant and
issued what would be his last order.......

"Keep up the fire!"
"Keep up the fire!" has since been the motto
of the U.S. Army 9th Infantry.

Wow! I got prime rib on my birthday; we can't go all out cuz I have to eat in bed, but I was promised Surf 'N Turf right before my surgery. I've never seen the ocean, and since the surgery is in North Carolina, we're gonna take Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville, see my best friend and her hubby overnight, then on to a beach! Dunno which one yet. But whichever one, it's Surf 'N Turf!! (That will probably be in October, when my reassessment is scheduled. With my luck, I'll get a surgery opening in the middle of winter! All those mountains are beautiful, but getting through them in winter?? Oy!)

I am soooo glad you had a wonderful splurge for your birthday! I have no idea what I'll have. Depends on what's in the freezer! LOL!!

Happy Birthday, Sassyfrass! *VBG*

fictious dog?

DON'T let Beamer hear you say that!

I posted this some months ago, and somebody had it deleted from the Thread, but in honor of the Beach Party, this Sturgis Chick will attending too....

[Victoria Delsoul]

Anytime, baby. LOL.

[SassyMom]

One of these years I want to take kneezles up there for the rally.

[4TheFlag]

Not really, SM, It's an intense week for us, there isn't a Hotel room within 150 miles of Rapid, and EVERYTHING has to be up and running...big challenge every year.

BTW, campfires and all are OUTLAWED...slurry bombers flying again the past 2 days.....

[Pippin]

Hellow! I'm Back!

I did a really dumb thing! I wetted my hair! Now I'll have to wait till it dries before I can go to bed! So i decided to come back to the canteen!

[SassyMom]

Thanks, Beep. I'm so glad that you will be able to see the ocean. There is something so peaceful about it. I could sit on the beach for hours watching the waves roll in.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL!!! Glad to see you back, Clara.

[4TheFlag]

I have a feeling that if Beamer gets out of hand with his little girl, kneezles will take care of him! LOL

I think you're right, and I don't know, why are you, ROTFLOL!

[Pippin]

I also remember I have some more uotfits to show off! TE! HE!

[SassyMom]

Are the slurry bombers for the Deadwood fire? I sure hope everyone uses their heads. SHESH!!!!

I know my sister and bil dread rally time. But, it is income for all of the businesses there. Especially for the business you are in.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hehe, good for you. Let me see them.

[Pippin]

Hi, Sassy! How was dinner? Did Kneezles treat you real good on your birthday?

[Beep]

Wouldn't you still be sweet to me wearing something other than a bikini?? Hmmmmmmm??
