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.

[Snow Bunny]

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Nan, I'm doing well. Thanks for asking.

How are you?

[Jen]

Uhhhhhhhhh, thanks for the song. But, you are starting to make me nervous..... I'm going to go sit on the other side of the room and listen to it, OK?

[Snow Bunny]

I had never heard it before, the words are so good.

[Victoria Delsoul]

That's so sweet, Souris. What a nice job! Thanks for including me.

I love it.

[Snow Bunny]

LOL.....Sam will love the LEG picture of you. heh heh

[Snow Bunny]

How beautiful, gosh I love blue.

Can you imagine Sam only having 15 minutes on a computer then trying to see everything at one time. LOL

[WVNan]

Couldn't be better.

[WVNan]

I don't know how I want to look. Let's see.....my hair is bleached white now, but tomorrow it will be blonde and who knows what color it will be next month. My natural color was raven's wing black and long below my knees at one time. Short in the 50s picture. Hummmm. Rainbow color? SAM likes the 50s picture, so I guess you can make it black and short with curls if possible. And they say you can't go back in time....

[MistyCA]

How neat that you got to meet Snow Bunny and FallGuy! I am beginning to feel deprived! :((( Just kidding! I will get my chance when I am resettled again. :)))

[WVNan]

Yeah, where does he start? Wouldn't it be fun if we put his name on every reply? He would have a fit trying to read them all. I'm bad.

[MistyCA]

That's a neat graphic!

[WVNan]

I've seen that one before, Misty, but it doesn't say Me.

[Snow Bunny]

ROTFLMAO

I am laughing so hard !

You are both so funny, I love it.

[Snow Bunny]

[Snow Bunny]

I love that Victoria !!!!!
