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.

Hi! I am so jealous that you will be leaving tomorrow! But my garage is almost all finished! Heck....it hasn't been gone through like this since long before my dad died! What a job! It's a pretty big garage with lots of stuff in the rafters, etc. By tomorrow I should be all finished with it!:)))))) Yippee!

[MistyCA]

Your Canteen friends are very proud of you. Very Proud! :))) It's fantastic that you listened to the call back to service with the CG. :)))

[MistyCA]

How are you beep? I like all of your outfits! :) I don't know what I will end up wearing to the beach party. :)

[MistyCA]

Hi! Tonkin!!!! :)))

"that you listened to the call back to service with the CG."

HE guided me to "listen" to my heart and soul.
That's where I found the answer.

Hey Nan! The rose hath been mashed! It's still downloading, but I'm watching it!! (I'll get to watch Annabelle the Sheep dance again! *G*)

Okay -- it downloaded! Thank you!! That was nice; I loved the Spanish! And Annabelle did too!! I'm trying to find a way to play Selena at the Canteen. I know how to do the linkage, but I have no sites to cull good music from. I make a mess of it when I try to post RAM files on my own sites. I RAM right through the sense that is HTML like a running back, smashing perfectly good code out of the way! (Holy Massacre, Batman!!) *VBG*

[MistyCA]

Yup....but you have to be receptive and responsive....you were both! No one does that for you! :)

[MistyCA]

I really enjoy Selena! It's so sad that she died and her death is what brought more awareness of her and her work. My brother was a huge Selena fan before she died. :)

[Beep]

Why, thank you SAM! You make ma coeur and me feel so much better!! Like a Princess!

Princess Beep

;-}

[Beep]

Niterz Victoria! I'll be close behind you! (I'm trying to catch up, but I am sooooooo slow!!)

[Beep]

Thanks Bunny! I'm hanging. Believe me, I'm hanging! You guys help a lot!!

I think I'm going to give up on catching up tonight. I don't feel very well, and I just watched Beaches for the first time, and it's depressed me deeply. I'll be okay. Sad movies are horrible things; they make me cry.

Safe trip, Godspeed, and love ya lots!

Good night, all!

Beepajamas!

[FlyVet]

Nah just kidding. If you had a leetle seester I would not be worthy of her anyway, but I thank you for your dedication to all the vets, especially the combat vets, who deserve a special place that I will never know.

[SpookBrat]

ROFL!!!!!! That's so funny!

[aomagrat]

Yea! the Classic ships are back! How's retirement been treating you? Used to it yet?

I got to learn how to sleep past 0530 again.

[aomagrat]

How are you doing with your move ?

I hate moving. It'll take me months to finish unpacking. But it's worth it to be back home in South Carolina!

[ohioWfan]

Thanks, Snow Bunny!

I'm planning on sending all 4 sketches I've done (3 of her husband!) to Laura, and telling her I'll give her the originals if she asks me to do it in person! :o)

Hey......Charlie Brown's an OK guy too!
