Snow Bunny, all the threads are meaningful, but most of us, I'm certain, enjoy Mail Call Monday the most.

Getting to hear from those 'somewhere out there' makes such a personal connection with REAL PERSONS - all those we here love and support to the best of our ability.
We do more than fling words into cyberspace - we really want to convey the message we CARE and KNOW the monotony and strains and limitations of most of your days.
Many of us have 'been there - done that.'

You are not free, confined aboard ship or guarding a perimeter or prowling the skies, to merely pack a picnic lunch and head to the lake - go out and play softball - visit old friends - go on a date with a loved one - kiss your spouse and tuck in little ones.

Instead, you are there, like hundreds of thousands of Patriots before you, doing your part to keep America safe and ensure freedom for it and others around the world.

We honor your personal sacrifices for the good of all.

To each of you whose letters were presented today, we wish Godspeed and a special thank you for expressing your thoughts.
You touch our hearts deeply.

To each of you our love is extended, prayers for your safety and well-being given, and special hugs for all.
We carry you in our hearts.

Here is something which applies to each of you, and all of the 'you's' around the world:

“The ultimate test of a man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."

Morning Victoria.

Pay no attention to Hugh, Mike and Tony. You know, those young, handsome men in those fantastic looking uniforms that are just trying to sweet talk you.

Relative of your's Tom? THAT side of the family we don't talk about......

[SAMWolf]

Umm! Thanks Tom but I think I'll pass.

[tomkow6]

Funny, that's what Clara said

[SAMWolf]

Hey Spooky! I love that graphic!

[Betteboop]

I just want to take this opportunity to wish my darling daughter, Suzanne, a happy birthday!!! (won't give her age, though)

Her husband (newbie freeper SoldierBoy)is stationed in Germany and she works in the USO office in Stuttgart!!

[SassyMom]

Hey, tom! Did you find your CLEAN burka? And, did you take that bath that I ordered you to take?

[SassyMom]

Oh WOW! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZANNE!!!!!!!

And welcome SoldierBoy! Thank you so much for all you are doing for our country!

[SAMWolf]

You got it Spooky!

Tell Jonah he has good taste in pictures.

[tomkow6]

[SassyMom]

U.S. Army representatives, including General Dan McNeill, left, distribute schoolbooks to local Afghan children during a visit to Kakarak, southern Afghanistan, Sunday, July 7, 2002. In a move to encourage local development and improve community relations, McNeill used the visit to speak with local leaders about the possibility of stationing more U.S. troops in the region following a recent American airstrike that killed scores of civilians.(AP Photo/Pool, Scott Nelson)

Ron USMC….Hello mysterious Ron…..I’m wondering which FReeper your father is now. LOL I’m glad you had that special time to talk with him about his service in Vietnam. I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the canteen and that our comfort/entertainment means something to you and your buddies. :) We have a lot of fun, but it's all for you babe! We love you and are thinking of you always. Give love to your dad and tell him thank you also. (Is he lurking in here today? HI DAD!)

[lodwick]

Hey - good morning to ya. Wishing a finer than frog hair day for you. ;-)

[tomkow6]

Maybe you will get in the ocean on Sat. at the beach... Is it wet?
