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.

McNeill to the village of Kakarak in Des Rawat, Afghanistam Sunday July 7, 2002. McNeill visited the village to speak with the regional governor and village elders about the possibility of stationing more US troops in the region following a U.S. air strike last week which killed scores of civilians.

U.S. troops are winding down their training of their Philippine counterparts following a six-month deployment in southern Philippines for counter-terrorism exercises. In a related development, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo disclosed a plan Monday to hold U.S. military exercises on another island base of the AbuSayyaf group but said the drills should eventually shift to the northern Philippines.
