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.

Bob prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party he was giving.
In his haste, however, he forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti
sauce, and it sat on the counter all day. He was worried about
spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another batch. He called
the local Poison Control Center and voiced his concern. They
advised Bob to boil the sauce again.

That night, the phone rang during dinner, and a guest volunteered
to answer it.

"Hey, Bob! It's the Poison Control Center. They want to know
how the spaghetti sauce turned out."

Howdy! I thought most folks would appreciate seeing this great article re President Bush!

Lights out at 10pm for Bush party guests

Excerpt:

Since he first ran for president, George Bush has portrayed himself as the "anti-Bill Clinton", and his social life is no exception.

The administration has just published the list of guests invited to spend the night in the White House since Mr Bush assumed the presidency 20 months ago, and the contrast with his predecessor could not be more striking.

Where Mr Clinton – ever the social climber, even in the most powerful job on earth -- played host to a steady stream of celebrities and power-brokers from the worlds of politics, academia, business, publishing and Hollywood, Mr Bush's circle has been folksy, intimate and almost wilfully devoid of glamour or intellectualism.

Most of the 160 people who have spent the night since inauguration day have been old friends or golfing partners from Texas. Scratch around the list for well-known names, and the best you can do is Ben Crenshaw, the golfer; Kinky Friedman, the Texas singer- songwriter turned author; and a couple of minor-league country music artists. No Barbra Streisand or Warren Beatty – almost nobody, in fact, that Mr Bush has not known for years and already considers his personal friend.
