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.

Miss you Light Speed. Just wanted you to know I have been thinking about you and I put the rose you gave me at my Profile page. Thank you so much.

I've been looking in the window since the Canteen opened and been enjoying you all since you've been here. GatorGirl, your military wife and family perspective has been really good. And Nan, when you finally learned so much stuff after saying nobody could teach you, I began to think there was hope for me to learn too. Everybody here is so helpful. Then Sam's Themeless Thursday gave me the final shove to come in. Tonkin gave me a more gentle shove. hehehe I love being here at the same time as the east coasters, altho the 4 hour time difference is a small problem. Thank you both for the good things you bring to the Canteen, especially yourselves.

[WVNan]

You can see that Bunny is corrupting me SAM. She encouraged me it's the...

[Snow Bunny]

LOL....good one Meekie. Thanks!!!!

[WVNan]

And isn't it fun being able to post graphics? Even though it takes up more time and you never get to talk to everybody. That part is frustrating. I want to send things to everyone and there's not enough time.

[Snow Bunny]

LOL......hahhahahaahaha

I love that picture Nan.What a wonderful era that was, gentile and just so full of charm.

That is supposed to be Gent teel.... I bet I spelled gentile as in I am a gentile. hahahaha OH nooooooooooo Oops. I meant to say.... that era was with gentlemen and ladies and gloves and hats and high tea. I love all of that.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hahahahahahaha, no reason to get nervous, LOL. I'm just teasing you!

Faith Hill, If my heart had wings

[WVNan]

[Jen]

Have you gurlz heard this new version of this old song??? It's not directed at any of YOU!!! I just was wondering if you'd heard it??? (hehehehehehehe)

<====

"Go Away, Homo Girl"

Go away homo girl. Go away homo girl.
I never want to be alone with you.
I know that your lips are sweet,
But our lips will never meet.
I'm not your kind of girl, and I thought you knew!

(CHORUS)
Go away homo girl. Go away homo girl
I really, really, REALLY do insist!
When you're near me like this,
I fear you may want a kiss,
So, go away homo girl
Far, far, far, far, FAR AWAY!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Jen that is a NO HOMO chocolate kiss. hahahhaahaa

Really? I didn't know, LOL!!! This is so funny.

[Victoria Delsoul]

[Snow Bunny]

I look forward to meeting you Misty. Gosh we are all going to have such fun.

[Snow Bunny]

Good to see you L G ! Thank you.

[MistyCA]

Knowing Sam, he is probably camping on top of the highest tree to cut down the interference on your phone calls! The man is hopelessly addicted! :)))) How funny! :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

This is a special song for you Souris...

Faith Hill, Let's make love

I want to emphasize that, this is the title of the song and has nothing to do with me, LOL!
