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.

Caffeine would help. I only had one cup of coffee today. That might be half my problem. Good night sweet pea!

Good evening, everyone!
I'm just doing a "post n run" again tonight--it was a busy day, I'm tired and I'm *ahem* covering a little gray that has popped right up on the top of my head. (My mom had those bad guys pop out young too.) If I leave the stuff on too long, I'm afraid my hair will fall out. I had to stop pulling them out--I'd have a bald spot by now if I continued!!!
OK now you know all my secrets! Just couldn't pass up the chance to say hello to all my FRiends and especially "hello and thanks" to the Veterans and Troops!
Love, GG

I'm thinking Sleepless in Seattle, but not sure. Now my shame is complete...I didn't like the movie! LOL...Useless in Seattle...But I can say without fear of being proven wrong...the New Orleans Bourbon Cake at the B&O Espresso, on Capitol Hill in Sea, is Delicious! Wish I could materialize a slice for you on top of your monitor!;-) Its the only dessert I've ever been presented with that I couldn't finish...Talk about Rich Chocolate...Holy MOLY!!
To: GatorGirl
Hi and bye, GG! Good to see you if only for a little while.
