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 who 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.

"Amy, I was born and raised in the deserts of West Texas. I'm 1/128 Cherokee Indian. Ain't no way a little heat is going to keep ME away!"
What part of West Texas? My Dad was born in Jacksboro but was raised in the Panhandle. My Mother was born in Wheeler (also the Panhandle). I have an Uncle living in Amarillo and an Aunt in Pampa.
Guess Friday will be like meeting another relative. LOL

Yes - been there, too, Val, when I was stationed at Parris Island, and at other times.
Don't you just love the old part?!

Hi, Clara - so glad you can take off tomorrow and go on a picnic!
All the more reason for us to thank our military for keeping us safe and free ~ ~ ~
