The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

Access the Wounded Heroes Guestbook to write a message of encouragement for a hero wounded in the line of duty.   Messages in the Wounded Heroes Guestbook are viewed by wounded soldiers, their loved ones, and the general public.

VetsCoR is pleased to present: a CD message of support from America to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen deployed in the Middle East, and other places around the globe, in the ongoing war on terrorism.

If you have a family member deployed, and would like to send them a copy of the CD, please click here. (VetsCoR will mail a copy of the CD FREE to any APO/FPO or military address.)

Share your thoughts, good wishes and messages with American troops deployed around the globe. In turn, we hope those in service will be able to view them on this site, and perhaps respond themselves.

Good Morning LaDivaLoca. What a great thread. It's going to take some time to read everything! Good morning to our military and good morning to the whole Canteen crew.

Warm up exercise for today . . . . .

HEAVEN ?
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of THE ROAD. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like Mother of Pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right UP." The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there".

The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump." They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he GAVE SOME to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward THE MAN who was standing by the tree waiting for them.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

This is Heaven," he answered.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

 

Joe was a band manager. He was currently out of work
because every band that he managed refused to listen to his
good advice.

One day he answered an ad that said "Band Manager Wanted
for rock group 'The Rolling Eggs'".

Joe applied and was hired. The band proved extremely
cooperative and listened to his suggestions and advice.

Thus the band began to make lots and lots of money.  The band members became more and more greedy and decided to reduce Joe's percentage of the profits.

Joe confronted them and said, in an angry tone of voice, "I'll sue you for breach of contract, you ungrateful idiots."

Then Joe punched the lead guitarist in the face. The rest of the band members tackled Joe to restrain him and told him he was fired.

The moral, of course, is: Don't fight the band that heeds you.

[SouthernHawk]

Good Morning Tomkow. I just finished reading the last of yesterday's thread/posts.

I was wondering - Do you ever get to sleep?

[SouthernHawk]

.....Don't fight the band that heeds you.....

It is too early for this. LOL !

[beachn4fun]

ewww, that one smelled like "rotten eggs."

[SouthernHawk]

Good Morning Beachn4Fun. Hope you have a great day.

Good Morning Tonk!

I hope that you have a fine day today and that eveything goes well for you.

Morning SouthernHawk. I hope to have a great day, too. However, I just got back to work from a 4-day holiday weekend and have to see how much work I need to catch up on. THEN I'll know. Had a busy weekend, but nice. Weather was nice too! Not too much to speak of for the last couple of days though. Hot, Hot, Hot!

Still trying to get myself back into the "swing" of it all.

Know what mean? Hope you (and everyone) had a nice holiday. How's it going over your way?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Good Morning!
Thanks and Thank You for what you do for the military and the Canteen!
