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.

You heard it??? I think it's a great song! Here are the lyrics! I love Martina McBride's music.
When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues
by Martina McBride
Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons
lock up your whiskey cabinet, girls lock up your guns
lock up the beauty shop, there's no tellin' if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown at Neiman Marcus, tell 'em lock up them high-heeled shoes
CHORUS:
When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap dab a tellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yelling, I've got a Mustang it'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby!
I've stirred my last batch of gravy, You don't have to be my baby!
Call all the deacons, call the Ladies' Aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors, call every base
Call all the Pentacostals, and bring that annointing oil too
Call the preacher, he's the only one who can reach her
And there ain't no time to lose

To: souris
Maybe you can make me a doll. It would have to be a permanant one, because I wouldn't know how to do anything with it. But I get left out of things like your milk carton because I don't have one. Whine whine...sniff (pity party)

Fantastic idea! It sounds like what I do with petunias, but tomatoes.....that's something I sure would have never thought of! I will try it! I normally plant 6 tomato plants every year and they get huge! Beefsteaks! Do you plant any kind of tomato that way? I have had trellis's full of cherry tomatoes before too. Nothing better than homegrown tomatoes, imo! :)
