FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style SAMWolf 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.

I have to send the Marine jokes.........it's my duty as a Navy man. Just remind your cousin that it says: "Department of the NAVY" on his I.D. card. lol!

Hiya Kathy, yes I'm back on my regular day schedule, well my mind is but my body is still confused! The older that i get, the harder it is for me to flip-flop like that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I have always liked reading this about our one dollar bill. So much symbolism packed onto one little piece of paper. Thanks for the reminder, tom.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I hope you are high and dry!

Need one of these?

Need one of these?

With all the rain the Minneapolis area has been getting, I've given serious thought to building one of those.

I've got air-support standing by if necessary

But...but...but...I like the blue one best, after the patriotic one, of course.

[Kathy in Alaska]

cote, excellent post. I've seen it before, but it is one of those things that we all need to be reminded about. (grammar problems!) We must NEVER forget, as our military does all it can to ensure that our freedoms continue. Thank you troops and allies for the job you do daily, and have done in the past.

[Kathy in Alaska]
