USO Canteen FReeper Style ....Themeless Thursday .... August 22,2002
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.

Good night, cote. Sweet dreams.

Your words described the Canteen to a "T". This really is the best place on the 'net and the people here are who make it such. A home away from home for all!

As it is now I have a cat...

I got him through a friend at the Garbage Dump...

the cat was called "Blinkie" and I still accepted...

actually I knew a cat never comes when you call, so...!

Anyway I took Blinkie to the Doc and had him taken care of!!

And now he is laying wide open on my living room floor like a cheap date, or a PlayCat Centerfold!!
