FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

If you know a Veteran, someone in your family,
friend of the family, neighbor, who served their
country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them.
Thank them for the sacrifice they made
for the better good of their country.

We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper Style,
are thankful for every service member
in our military, who has served our great nation.

So, to the men and women who answered the call,
in both times of war and peace, thank you.

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.

STINK with the smell of roses! Where's my "kitty-katz"? Here, kitty, kitty!

I think your "kitty-katz" smell like roses too. Misty got them with her super soaker perfume sprayer!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

[tomkow6]

I don't think she got my "kitty-katz", cause they were hiding ALL over the Canteen, in the corners where nobody looks. They also like hiding in Clara's house! hehehehe

[Pippin]

Good morning, or afternoon, to you! Several days of off and on rain, for which I am thankful, especially seeing all the drought problems lots of other places are having.

[tomkow6]

They'll be gone by the time you get home!

You won't even know they were there!
.......giggle...........

[SassyMom]

Hi, Kathy! WOW! It's so great to see you here this afternoon! (or morning where you are - *giggle*)

[tomkow6]

2 Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft it
sank, - proving once and for all








you can't have your kayak and heat it, too.

[SassyMom]

ROFLOL..... hahahahahah... You are sooooo funny!

I'd say you're right on the money. The URL for the link starts with "https:"

The 's' says that this is a secure site. Since it is a government site, it will have a security certificate. Doesn't mean that it's classified, just secure. As a matter of fact, the protocol info on the properties box indicates that it is "HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy."
