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.

No, I'm not mad at you.
Do you want me to put you on my profile page? You should go over and take a gander at it I did some work on it. It is not finished as I need a few more things for it like a good picture of President Bush. I have Laura there but I need George!

Beautiful poem and pix, Blues! Good to see you! Did your newest addition to your family ever settle down after his/her/its dose of caffeine? I bet that's worse than catnip!

I've seen several of Diogenesis' photo spreads and enjoyed every one, but don't get pinged to them so I miss some. Thanks for adding me to your ping list so I don't miss any more! {{{NHH}}}

Hi, I just thought I would say hi. You work so hard and are like the invisable man or something. I love it , it is very mysterious and you are so much appreciated.
Thank you for all you do.
To: AntiJen
I try NOW to listen to them, especially after the last experience..........all's I can say now is:
"Better living, thru chemistry".

Cassie seems a little calmer this evening. I've never seen a cat drink coffee before! She's already wired anyway, sure didn't need the caffeine. The bouncing on my head and screaming "get up" clued me to her not needing a pick-me-up. After that awakening, I didn't either! LOL.
To: tomkow6
Are you alright, now?

Jen to CGC: Your daughter done good! It's a great screenname. CGC to Jen: Thank you! I'll pass it on to her...she'll appreciate it; especially after I told her awhile back that I might want to change it.LOL
Hi there! I brought our conversation over to today's new thread!
DON'T change your name! I love it and it's perfect for a Canteen Babe from Texas! You need some dollz like the rest of the gurlz around here so we and the troops can 'see' you! What do you look like - or WANT to look like??? The gurlz and I will find some for you.
