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.

[Victoria Delsoul]

That is wonderful, Bunny! Well said.

As far your comments of where the USO Canteen FReeper Style thread belongs. I have followed Jim Robinson's instructions to me from day one. We are listed exactly where he wants us and will continue as long as he wants us here.

Worth repeating.

Greybird, you deserve an award.

[Snow Bunny]

GG, Hi there !!!!

I am so glad you stopped by even if just for a little bit. Good to see you my friend.

Snow Bunny (((( hugs ))))

[MistyCA]

LOL! Well, as soon as we finish getting the house ready for my daughter to move in, and as soon as we get the motorhome packed and the rest of the stuff stored, we will be ready to leave. This has been one huge task....far more than I ever would have imagined! The weather is probably going to be better the longer we wait, but I sure am thrilled to hear the heat has died down! :))))) Thanks for the update!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hiya Bunny! Yep, I'm ready to play… a bit tired but always ready to play, LOL.

Hope your evening is going well.

Captain and Tennille, Shop Around

[WVNan]

You can't leave now Sassy. I'm just getting caught up again. I stay behind almost as bad as Misty.

[MistyCA]

Oh, dear Sam! I know you won't get to see this until later, but I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE COUNTER OR THE MILK CARTON! The was Jen! :))) It doesn't mean I don't miss you just as much, just that I didn't think of it! In fact, Snow Bunny thought it up and Jen did it! :)))))))) Just in case you con some local into some extra time! :)

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Kathy.

I don't phrase things well.

I grew up in a very European home in Illinois. So a lot of the time I put the noun part at the end and not the beginning when I talk or write so I get a little nervous when Attila the Bun starts up. hahahhahaa

[WVNan]

Misty you deserve stars in your crown for caring for your Mom so well. I know what you are faced with. She sounds exactly like my Mom was before she passed away.
