To Joe: "The Canteen is a place I look forward to coming to. And yes, it is that Cottage down a road for a weary veteran or a weary in spirit soldier."<----Very well said. I just discovered the poetry link yesterday, Joe, USMC, so it's nice to know that is another place on FR that you enjoy. (Did you see the Eagle's Wings song posted there yesterday? Coteblanche posted it there because CB likes the poetry thread also - and liked that Eagle song).
All of you dear ones in our military are in God's care and He will carry you - just as you are carrying us in our national defense.
Hugs to each letter writer! And a thank you from this American to those serving our country especially at this time - and to those who have served.
What a country! What heroes! God bless you and keep you and bring you home safely real soon!
