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 fear we'd have to have the skwirrels sign some sort of release waiver before the "transmission" or PETA would tie up the Mars program in Perpetuity....alas! But the DEMO is GREAT!!! It turns out the easiest things to dematerialize are books about the Klintoons contributions to America...apparently...there's not much there in the first place so it takes hardly any energy at all to complete the disintegration process!
To: MeeknMing
Meekie I think I misunderstood. I just took some time and checked my pings and I had one to the thread about Zip. Then when I came back I just read your other post now about it too. Thanks so much. OH Meekie it is so sad.
To: Snow Bunny; Victoria Delsoul
Well, I don't play piano. Hmmmmm?

Woohoo!!! I really really want one right now. However, I really really need to go to sleep. So? I guess I'll let it ride for tonight. Anyways, Good night Snow Bunny! Good night everyone!! Sweet dreams to our beloved troops! Also, how cool would it be if we started a send a pizza to our military personnel like they have set up for the IDF?? I wouldn't even know how to begin something like that!! Hmmmmmmmmm.....

before my grandmother died I was lucky to think of getting 4 tapes of her talking about her life.
Great idea. I wish I would have thought of it...too late now
My grandmother(on my mothers side) Raised 10 kids basically on her own(husband died). Needless to say a strong woman, WOE unto those that crossed her. I can think of many words to describe Granny Stein(think Franco-German with an attitude), subtle is not one of them.
