USO Canteen FReeper Style...Salutes One of Our Own....June 25,2002
FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

Posted on 06/25/2002 2:31:57 AM PDT by Snow Bunny


Today at the USO Canteen FReeper Style is a very special day. We have all heard that once a Marine always a Marine and that is more true than naught.

There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX . Her travels in life and into the lives of others has been numerous. Today join us in celebrating LadyX and her 50 years as a Marine.

Many of you have written to me of your appreciation for knowing LadyX and how today marks 50 years since she became a Marine. This is surprise to LadyX and OUR thank to you LadyX, for serving our country and for being a wonderful FReeper and friend.

Her service was during the Korean Conflict in the United States Marine Corps, instructing Women Marine recruits in classroom subjects, and later as a military wife.

With the Marine Corps at its greatest buildup then, for Korean combat, Women Marines freed men for their primary role - to protect our Republic and its ideals.


This is one of my favorite posts that LadyX made.
I saved it and cherish her words.

It was an awesome sight. I had taken a few of the shuttle on the pad (very small from 30 something thousand feet), but as we moved further southward, the sun really came into view. Who says there's no God?...

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GROWING OLDER WHEN....

You refer to your accountant as "that nice young man."

You have shoes older than your new assistant.

Your office nickname (formerly "Whiz Kid") is now "Den
Mother."

You can recite the lyrics to "Stop in the Name of
Love," but you can't remember your new area code.

You try to call your oldest child to dinner, but you
run through everyone else's name (including several
dwarfs) before you hit it.

The drive-thru attendant calls you "ma'am" before he
even gets a look at you.

You now believe that Elvis died young.

You hear yourself say, "This too shall pass."

You also hear yourself say, "I used to know that."

You're on your third mid-life crisis.

You name your cats Gin and Seng.

Your crow's feet have blossomed into a world class
aviary.

You get tired just looking at the pregnant woman with
the screaming toddler, behind you in line.

You look at that pregnant woman with the screaming
toddler, smile broadly, and keep on walking!!

Don't let 'em fool ya - you do NOT have to swear an oath of allegiance to TEXAS to participate here!

Nor should you stare too long at their names on the monitor, lest they try to assimilate you!!! - LOL
