Tribute To HEROES

Tribute to Vietnam Veterans....Please click on picture

The great intangible of America's wars beyond logistics, beyond strategy, beyond wonder weapons and Generals, is the spiritual force of its fighting men and women - and that is the force that the USO so serves.

Welcome to the FReeper USO Canteen.

Thank you all for your wonderful support of our Veterans and our troops serving now and their families.

God bless you all and your loved ones.

On behalf of TF Rakkasan and myself let me thank you for your letter, your kind thoughts and most important you support. Your desire to send care packages to the soldiers of TF Rakkasan is wonderful in itself. We are lucky here because we have had the support of you great Americans every since we got here. As for the packages we will be deploying home soon after 7 months and I am afraid your packages would get lost in the system somewhere, but please know your letter and thoughts are more important to us than a package and for that we can't thank you enough!

Sincerely,
R. Herman

He's at Camp LeJeune right now waiting for a training deployment to a ship.

SAMWolf told her he would pass the Marines’ name and address onto the Canteen.

Mornin' All !

[MeekOneGOP]

Wow, Snow Bunny! It's a Red Letter day! I'm the first comment
(other than yours, of course) on the thread!

[Bahbah]

Good Morning, you two. My undying gratitude to (the very attractive) LadyX for her service and to all you wonderful men and women in our armed services. The price you pay to keep us free is deeply appreciated. Richard, what are you doing up at this ungodly hour?

Good Tuesday Morning USO Canteen

[Scuttlebutt]

I can't think of a better person to salute today than you, my dear friend. I have always admired your dedication and patriotism.

From an old sailor --- Semper Fi, Marine.

[Angelique]

A reminder to everyone on the thread to keep praying for the safe return of teacup's grandson.

[Angelique]

You caught me by surprise, and I shall try later to submit a proper tribute to my dearest friend, LadyX. I have very pressing matters this morning. In the interim, it is quite simple, she is a REAL lady so close to my heart.

[larryjohnson]

Lady, I can't remember what a woman Marine was called in WWII but I was just a kid then and facinated already by women. When I entered the AF woman were still called WAF's. I worked with two weather officers,one was in VietNam. The AF space programs has had many women. Jen was one! You now know that I love all women in uniform and your service deserves this tribute. This occasion made me remember my older brother,Carl. He enlisted in the USAF right out of HS in 1952 and went to Korea after the "truce". I've been looking at his pictures too.

[Joe Brower]

[JustAmy]

Snow Bunny - Thank you again for the thread. I look forward to it each morning.

LadyX - Thank you for serving our great country in preserving our freedoms. You and all of our marines (also, sailors, soldiers, airmen, guardsmen) are appreciated by this country you serve.

God Bless and Protect our Military!
God Bless America!

How 'bout an attempt at humor?

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Corduroy pillows: They're making headlines!

Shin: A device for finding furniture in the dark.

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

I poured spot remover on my dog, now he's gone.

Used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

Why do psychics have to ask for your name?

Wear sleeveless shirts! Support your right to bare arms!

All those who believe in psycho kinesis raise my hand.

Good morning from VA Beach!

Looking at about the same weather report as Chicago, highs in the mid 90s with heat indicies in the 100s. Which really sucks cause I can't let my kids play outside in this heat.

Got one of those weird 'it's still sunny out but look, it's raining' showers yesterday evening. Only lasted about 15 minutes.

Just patiently (HA!) counting down the days till my hubby will be home. Of course with our luck, he'll be right back out to sea the next week but hey, at least he'll be home for 4th of July.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning to two of my favorite FR wild men! Jen
