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 !

God bless you good and sleep well, Meekie. Thanks for the linked stories you bring for the troops to get to easily. With their limited time, I'll bet it's nice not to have to hunt all over.

Thank you for this thread. Excellent choice, Snow Bunny! Wonderful parents, Sam! Thank your dad for his service during such a difficult time! You must feel very proud! :)

Hi, Misty! Thanks, yes I'm very proud of my parents.

[MistyCA]

Thank you Tonk for the beautiful flowers, and thanks to all those you represent! :)))))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, tom. God bless you for your service to our country and for all the "work" you do for the troops. I can just imagine a couple of them sitting at a computer and then running into one of your jokes, ROTFLTAO, and drawing a crowd. Thanks, tom!

[MistyCA]

Man, Kathy....we can really burn some rubber in that car, provided you have left any rubber on the tires! I do know how to drive a car like that since I use to have one...so any time you want to do a bit of power shifting, I am WAY ready! :))))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmmmmm.........thinking. How about tacos, please? No hot sauce and no guacamole and no sour cream! I'm a wimp.
