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.

Another use for Viagra!

My step-dad discovered that if you include a Viagra pill along with tomato seeds when you plant them, you don't have to stake your tomato plants! hehehehehe

Hi Snow Bunny,
I'm new to this (and also a fellow vet) but just wanted to say a few words about my Grampa.
He served 1st in the Army in the 30's, then in the Navy during WWII. He served his country well- in the South Pacific as a CeeBee (sp?) Building runways with his 'dozer.
Many a time he found himself behind the blade hiding from zeros & shooting back with his rifle, or so the stories went :)
Grampa passed away a couple of weeks ago & just wanted fellow Vets & Americans to know about him.

"Grampa passed away a couple of weeks ago & just wanted fellow Vets & Americans to know about him."

May God Welcome him Home and comfort his family and friends.

Once again, Jen, thanks for posting this each day. We must always remember our military who protect and defend this great country daily.

[Snow Bunny]
