That, of course, is one of the goals of the Canteen: to make sure that our military, past and present, are not forgotten and you sure are doing your best to make sure it doesn't happen. Thank you so much for all you are doing by finding these pictures and posting them. I have to believe that they WILL be seen. And we already know that the troops like your jokes. And so do I!

[MoJo2001]

Thanks for the ping the other day. If you have any advice or any ability to suit up for the Bengals, LET ME KNOW! You could play about a million times better than Gus Fererrotte anyday. Goodness. I just wanna scream watching him. UGH!

I really enjoyed your post today.
Sometimes I try to imagine what it was like back in those days when these machines were still new. I can picture seniors citizens reflecting on their memories of the days when heavier than air flight was stilll considered a dream.
I think about these heavily armed fighter craft being able to go 400 Miles per hour. Boy, that must have seemed fast back then. I find it all amazing.
The United States sure has been the point in the inventing of new machines and ideas since it`s inception in the 18th century.
Even today when I see the new stuff I am mind boggled. I marvel that there are those fools who would ever tangle with the United States. We have saved the World from all sorts of evil. Facism, Communism, starvation and many other threats to Man have been bent to the will of the American Idealogy and it`s innovations. We are not just going to stop being the greatest. We set the pace and we will determine our destiny. Not only that , but we are going to determine the destiny for a lot of them as well. As The Prez said last year, "They will hear us."
We make the best stuff and we can and do and we will continue to take the best care of our Military and the Veterans. You volunteers in the Military can count on us to get these bone head Politicians to stand up and do the right thing for all Americans. We are going to rattle their cages big time. This being campaign time doesn`t hurt the cause either.
I think that there is finally an outcry from just enough of where we will get their attention and they will comply with what we Americans demand from them. You will have the best of everything.
You will always have the finest equipment and the enduring support of all the freepers as well as many many others.
I did not mean to begin to start rambling here. It is just that when I consider all tha Americans have actually accomplished, it indeed makes me feel proud. I honestly believe that this will be our finest hour.
I talk with my son now and then about his role in the Military. I have seen the kind of dedication that he has. I have been made very aware of some of the training that he has undergone. I have no doubt whatsoever about the efficiency of our Miltary.
You all need to know that even though we are not there with you, we are indeed in a more important way very much so with you.
Thanks for letting me ramble!

Not a ping list,FRiends,just feeble memory. Snowbuns,thanks for the thread and the USO homeawayfromhome. Jen,I read the linked dog tag collection by this wonderful gal. I read jus yesterday on a D-Day page that one tag was buried with the KIA for later reinternment.My WWII child hood friend,P1C Christian F. Birx I learned yesterday was buried in Baltimore National Cemetary in Sep 1949 ,5 years after KIA...I have one tag left and it hangs on a chain over my jungle fatigue shirt in this den... One day I ran out the MACV gate by mistake into Siagon with only shoes,running shorts and my dogtag on a chain around my waist. I circled the base,ran in the 7th AF gate,stopped to show my tag and was waved thru(no salute).

Thanks for visiting the Canteen, where we daily honor our troops, veterans, their families, and our allies. The Welcome Mat is always out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Girlz, look at today's transportation. I wonder if it comes with a driver? Or, are you up for driving today, Jen? I know it's a little more sedate than the last few days, but relaxing is good.

Hello everyone!

I'm very tired tonight after a day at "school." Sorry I can't spend longer.

God Bless our Troops and God Bless the USO Canteen!
