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.

Seems to have been a go out to dinner evening.

Oh heck...on my own is one thing, but being the "Older" generation is quite another!!!!! Just kidding.

Yes, I completely agree with you. before my grandmother died I was lucky to think of getting 4 tapes of her talking about her life. I have several of my uncle that I did during a phone call with him when he was very talkative about old family history. I need more! Oh, how I wish I had some of my dad.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks. I like it too. :-)

Thanks, Snow Bunny, but the tribute to Zip I posted was by the poster of the memorial thread.

My excerpt with the link was not marked "Excerpt" as I normally do.....my mistake!

(giggle) At least Cassie drinks coffee. My parents had a cat who loved martinis. Got drunk as a skunk on the things!

Maybe Cassie will calm down a LITTLE once the full moon is past. My house is like a pinball game right now! LOL

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hope to see you too, Spooky!

LOL! Hi Tom.

[MoJo2001]

LOL!! I always think of Muddy Water's when I say MoJo!! Or, I think of Mocha Frappuccino's. Actually, I could go for a Mocha Frapp right about now!! How are you today??

[Entropy Squared]

You just love me for my car - don't you!

That too, but your picture on post #249 won me over the rest of the way. I asked coteblanche to marry me after she let me drive her Mustang in Ottawa but she had this current husband problem and had to refuse me too. ;-(

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Radu! Hope you're having a great evening.
