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.

Thanks, Bunny. My sister doesn't understand how I am able to deal with it sometimes, but to me it is really funny most of the time! It cracks me up as long as what she does is safe and doesn't hurt her. I have all sorts of sympathy for Nancy Reagan and other caregivers and hope to goodness they are able to see as much humor in it as I do! I am sitting here smiling to myself as I write this. My mom says, "It's the pits getting old and having termites in the brain!" I just tell her to enjoy herself and don't worry about it. I tell her that she is old enough to just enjoy the ride and let us worry about making sure she does the right thing. :)
