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

[Mr_Magoo]

I came prepared

[Snow Bunny]

Yessss that one , and yesterday I was humming " That Sunday, that Summer " the entire day.

[WVNan]

Doesn't that just frost you coteblanche? You spend the evening trying to catch up and when you do it's bedtime. I definitely don't get enough sleep. Glad I got to say hi.

[Jen]

Oh yeah! You gotta crank up that song really loud in your 'Stang and go zooooooooooming down the freeway! Woooooo Hoooooo!

[Snow Bunny]

That worked ! heh heh.....You are a hunk with excellent taste in flowers and candy. giggle

Beautiful flowers Mr.M

[WVNan]

[Jen]

Well, then... Pucker up sweetie!

[Victoria Delsoul]

[Snow Bunny]

giggle.....your so cute ! Yes, Sam will be in good company. heh heh

[Mr_Magoo]

for back up.

[Greybird]

Greybird, you deserve an award. [Graphic omitted]

I, apparently, made a mistake about how this was to be classified. (God forbid I ever manage to understand the arcane and arbitrary rules that seem to make "General Interest" a ghost town, while putting threads like this in under "News." The rationale is still beyond me, and I doubt I'm the only one who's mystified.)

You, apparently, Victoria, think that anyone who makes such a mistake deserves a "dunce cap" for even asking.

I think this says much more about your lack of civility than it does about me.

At least Snow Bunny ended her posting with a benediction. I'm not sure how I should take it, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, and thank her for it. She at least didn't take issue with someone asking questions, as such, as you seem to be doing.

Oh, by the way: The FEMA security certificate apparently is for the link to citizencorps.gov, and any such certificate that doesn't have a consistent internal name is a hazard to others' secure Web use. It can be used by someone spoofing FEMA's site to get past FReepers' browser security, and to plant ActiveX applets or other pieces of malicious software code that are akin to viruses. If they "accept" the certificate, that is, as I did not.

FEMA is endangering others in not getting someone competent on line to take care of this security hole. Snow Bunny may be endangering others here by using such a link. I hope she will remove it in the future.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nice song, thanks Cob.

[Snow Bunny]

Yikes.....be careful Jinxie. See you later BAD Boy friend.

[Snow Bunny]

You look great Nan . Souris that is perfect.
