The USO Canteen FReeper Style
Delivering a Touch of Home

.

.

A Touch of Home

.


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.

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.


Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. 

John McCrae 

.

The USO Canteen Honors FReepers
who have served, or are now serving their country.

.

You may have a loved one who has served in the past.
We at the FReeper USO Canteen would like to honor each and every one.

Thank you for serving Zbigniew !

Sledd, killed during an exercise in Kuwait, are carried during a 'Fallen Soldier' ceremony held at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2002.

I agree with you completely!

But SAM, that's what all the heroes say...and they mean it. I'm sure someone has said it before, but the difference between heroes and zeroes is just that.

I known non of us will ever forget our Heroes.

What is so funny? It is true you can probably buy a chiffon Burka on E-Bay!

You could probably get a nice fan belt to help keep your dishrag in place over your head too!

Halloween is almost upon us! I am only trying to help with a few ideas.

Perhaps you might like to see my websight.
