U.S. Military History, Current Events and Veterans Issues

Where Duty, Honor and Country
are acknowledged, affirmed and commemorated.

Our Mission:

The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans.

In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support.

The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer.

If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions.

We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

Veterans Day



To our veterans - Thank You

Today is a day set aside to honor our country's living veterans. At the Foxhole honoring veterans has always been our mission.

We will not forget those who died or our POWs or MIAs, nor those currently serving, however, today we specifically honor those men and women living among us who have served our country in times past, our living veterans.

At the Foxhole we are blessed to have veterans as part of our Foxhole family both as readers and contributors.

We would like to welcome all our veterans to the Foxhole on this very special day as we attempt to honor you and thank you for your service to our country.

Freedom is not free and our debt to you and those gone before you can never fully be paid. As we tell your stories, teach our children, educate and inform others your service will never be forgotten.

It matters not where, when or how you served; at home or in a foreign land, in the air, at sea or on land; in peacetime or in war, on the battefield or behind a desk; on supply lines; as an engineer, a mechanic, an infantrymen, a cook or medic. You chose to volunteer or fullfilled your duty by the draft and served America and we are forever grateful. Every job is important as they all support each other and thus, the cause of freedom.

Some sacrifices are greater, yes, and some service more dangerous than others, yet all service is sacrifice by the troop and their family and we highly respect that service.

Thank you all. May God richly bless you. Enjoy yourself today, it's your day! - from SAMWolf, Snippy and our entire Foxhole family.


And for those who don't quite understand how important our veterans are to us...

(don't you just LOVE the excuses that bureaucrats offer when they cause you problems, due to their UNCARING attitude & lack of care??? it's ,of course, NEVER their fault!!!!)

Did you and do you now still like the smell of fuel?

Well there was a time involving a diesel truck and a generator fuel tank. Hose came apart... My uniform stank for weeks.
