[Kathy in Alaska]

The Welcome Mat is always out, Christy. The USO Canteen FReeper Style is open 24/7 to honor our troops, our veterans, their families (that would be you), and our allies. It was such a treat today to put a "face" to a "name" of a fellow freeper, and AN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY GUY. And it was fun to learn some about his ship. It was wonderful to meet his Mom and sister, and now his wife. I hope you visit the Canteen often and enjoy some of the fun we have honoring our troops. God bless our troops and keep them safe as they work to keep us safe.

Thanks for the welcome, Kathy - it is going to be good for me to be able to communicate with all of you - something special to look forward to each day - and I will do my best to log on as much as possible. Brian has told me how incredible the responses have been, and I know how much he appreciates it, as well as how much he enjoys FR - and now I have seen the FR light, so here I am!
