USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Supporting the Military Help Wanted ~ February 19 2003

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

USO Canteen FReeper Style looking for people to
help post threads, graphics, links, prayers, jokes etc each day.
Full or Part time help needed.
Pay = Knowing that you helped someone in the military know that they are not forgotten.

Credit to HiJinx for this quote.

"Each day we take some time to pass on a message of support
to our active duty personnel, their families and veterans.
Some of us spend hours on end in the Canteen, and others just post once.
Whichever you doesn't matter, it's getting the message out to those we support that matters!"

Jacques Chirac prime minister of France in 1975 began a quarter-century friendship with Saddam Hussein then Iraqi vice president.

Through a secret deal Chirac provided Hussein with weapons-grade uranium.

This from a stratfor.com report relayed on today's Rush Limbaugh radio program.

This goes a long way to explaining Chirac's desperate obstruction of our action to remove Hussein.

Anacephalics for Saddam's Security (ASS) continue their mind-numbed service as useful idiots for Earth's Worst.

The sands of the hourglass run down on Saddam's tyrannical tenure.

Soon our premier military people will relieve him of the burden of his existence.

Godspeed Swift Victory and Safe Return to the Finest Fighting Force on Earth

God Bless Our Troops, Our Veterans, and their Families

SADDAM-FREE in '03

After that, Arafat goes splat, the Ayatollah will hollah, and Kim Jong get velly ill.

My computer was burping (how rude), but thankfully all is working fine now.

Could be worse.............like passing gas?

My fat cat is telling me it's time for bed; soooooooo:

Good night, all!

May God bless all who come to the Canteen.

May God bless & keep safe all our troops & their famlies!

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home,
called to serve his nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom
on some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,
we pray You keep him strong,
we pray You send him safely home ...
for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,
serving her nation with pride.
Her step is strong, her step is sure,
there is courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,
we pray You keep her strong,
we pray You send her safely home ...
for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.
Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well,
no matter what the cost.

God, Bless America!

Wow! Look at you, you're here at night. Sounds like school and JJ are really getting along well. And even Robbie is on the computer. That is great.

speaking of little farts...

[MeekOneGOP]

May I put in an order for marshmallows tomorrow morning? My thanks in advance.

You bet. In fact, here are some now, in the likely event my feeble memory forgets...

...here come the MARINES! Three cheers for the Marines. And a special cheer for Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Alicia Tasz. Great shot!!

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing
aide. It cost me $4,000, but it's state of the art. All my
hearing problems are over."

"That's great," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"

"Twelve-thirty."

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what
he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth,
and he was extolled with my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
but verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice
of my prayer.

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor
his mercy from me. -Psalms 66:16

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh boy, THANKS! I'll put them in my desk drawer for my hot chocolate when I get to work.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Dubya, for making and posting the link. It's a neat story.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU'VE HAD A WONDERFUL "HUMP DAY".

Good day or evening to our awesome troops, veterans, and allies around the globe! THANK YOU for doing your part in protecting the USA!

(Is anyone having trouble with FR besides me or is the problem on my end? I'm having a very difficult time getting it to load.)

"Secretary Powell stopped, turned, and stated "Yes, it's true. But unfortunately for you, all 13 percent are United States Marines!"

Go UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!

Large Drug Seizure by Coast Guard

Gulf of Tehuantepec, Eastern Pacific Ocean -- The 378-foot Coast Guard Cutter Rush, home-ported in Honolulu, Hawaii with a San Francisco-based Coast Guard helicopter crew, seized three tons of cocaine and detained four men from a "go-fast" boat Wednesday, Feb. 5.

The Cutter Rush and its crew were on patrol in the Pacific Ocean 100 miles south of Nicaragua when it was diverted to intercept a suspect vessel. As the cutter closed in on the 42-foot go-fast, the four men on board set it on fire and jumped into the sea. Coast Guardsmen were able to quickly extinguish the flames and keep the drug boat from sinking.

The vessel had 105 bales of pure cocaine on board, weighing an estimated 5,775 pounds.

This seizure was the result of the careful coordination between the Joint Interagency Task Force West (JIATF-West) in Alameda, Calif., with multiple Coast Guard and Navy assets from across the country along with a Mexican Navy patrol boat and aircraft.

The flowers are so bright and cheerful! They really brighten up the Canteen!

Thanks Military men and Canteen guys!

*HUGS* all 'round!

[angcat]

I did also, I shut down and restarted and then it was fine.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hiya, Mud! Did you get snow dumped too? Some day I'm going to make it back there.

[Dubya]

SEMPER FI KATHY.

[Dubya]

GO USCG. The USCG is going to be playing a greater part in our wars than ever before. The war of terriosm has came to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I seem to be doing ok. A tad slow loading off and on. Dubya had the exact same question several hours ago. Every now and then I get the page that says "this page won't work", or whatever the heck it says. And my pinger window has gone blank several times,
