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.

Howdy, Snow Bunny. It's always good to be here. Got a late start today but had a great time catching up. Great thread today.

I can't wait for the rodea either! I have been practicing up on the mechanical bucking thingy!

[radu]

Heehee. My hubby's glad I can walk upright, too. The house is a wreck because I haven't been able to do any cleaning. Try to imagine all these cats running around in here....... EEEEEEEK!!!

I've kept up to a minimum but that's about it. Got some catchin' up to do here. ergh!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Night Jen. God bless you good. Sleep well and continued prayers for your Mom and you and your family.

[radu]

Good night, souris. Sweet dreams.

It was good to see you, even if only briefly.

(now I need another bib!)

[MistyCA]

Night, Sam! I suppose this is too late, but thanks a heep for the new plate! :))))

[MistyCA]

Oh, that graphic is great for Radu! All the kitties are so cute!

[MistyCA]

Goodnight, Victoria! See you tomorrow!

[MistyCA]

The doc's office called and delayed my uncle's appointment AGAIN! Now he is scheduled to go in to see the doc on Oct 10th! This is ridiculous! I wonder why they keep putting him off like that. He has terrible pain and they should see him right away!

[Mr_Magoo]

I finally get caught up and it looks like everybody bailed out!

[Entropy Squared]

You goils are still up? Do you party all night, or something?

[MistyCA]

Hi there! Good to see you! :)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh, a lot is MUCH better!

[MistyCA]

Yup...maybe you are related to my uncle. Honestly, though, those back things are a real challenge to deal with! Hope yours is feeling better!

[For_God_and_Country]

Mechanical Bucking thingy?? Thats tempting, but I'll leave it alone....LOL

[radu]

We're not all gone. There are a few bonafide night owls still here. :-D

[MistyCA]

I didn't bail yet, but I am about to! I am sitting here yawning! LOL. Hope you had a great day! How is the job going?
