It is like a cottage down a road, a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.
Freepers who post here, feel it too. It has been so dear how the Freepers kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place that had a huge living room for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.
saying that the Canteen is like home to them for the first time since they served.
a respite from our busy and sometimes troubling world. Make yourself at home.

Snow Bunny, you can show them this on your Monday Mail Call day
be sure to tell them I would give of them one of your Bunny hugs if I
could , a big one too.
Thank you for the support all of you at the Canteen give us.

To all the guys, those of you that have been in the Navy know
how it is being on a ship for long periods of time. Good , bad
and otherwise.They keep us pretty busy as you know and the
time we have for ourselves gets to be pretty special .
I am glad I am serving my country and hope to make it a
career . I want to thank all you Canteeners for your hard
work supporting us. You could be doing other things, yet
you come to the Canteen and entertain all of us and share
your humor with us.
Mr_Magoo and Tomkow6 could work up an act I think for
your next party.I can see it now, my side splitting from
laughter and the crazy antics of you and the Bad Boys that
youre a part of.Bad Boys RULE! You have a winner there!
Tomkow6 , dont wash that burka , just get it ripe and send it
into battle. The enemy might be drawn to the scent of it, imagine.
Keep up the great work you do and thanks from this sailor for
such a place to come to.

Well those trades I wrote you about so we could be at
The Sandy Bottom Beach party are all accounted for
so now let the good times roll!!!!
Uglybiker, LOL, I think we need to readjust your scope
Now these fine ladies you brought to that party need an
Awful lot of lotion and gave the Pirates a few nightmares.
Hey Sam and Victoria, how are my scrounger partners !
Im doing my best to keep you proud of me, but dont
tell mom, I was supposed to let her think you were a
good influence on me. Hi MOM just kidding!
Hey TONKIN! I scrounged these flowers from you
But it is for the ladies so hope it is OK.Ya gotta do
What ya gotta do ya know. LOL Youre a good man
Tonkin and thanks for serving in the Coast Guard sailor.

Sam Themeless Thursday are one of my favorites
and Monday Mail Call. Mail call sure brings back a
lot of memories.
Snow Bunny you sure know how to put a thread together
to get me crying here. You loosen up all I have held in
for over 30 years. Jim Robinson is a genius to have a
USO Canteen at FR. Give that man a high five !
Thank you Canteeners for making this disabled vet feel
good everyday.

I also enjoy reading about each day in history. It is one of my
favorite things I look for. And the great sounds that Victoria
Delsoul plays each day and that little Spookie ,all three of you
have really caught my eye.
AntiJen, from this flyer to another, I admire you and thank you
for serving our country.You are amazing to me, you served and
now here you are still working to support those of us that are
serving this time around.You are one very special woman AntiJen!
MeeknMing, thanks for the things to click on . I have only so
much time online and believe me it has to all count.
Light Speed what great pictures you show me! Thanks for your
support.
Militiaman7, that was a really interesting Freeper Friday.God bless
you brother and thank you for serving.
All the rest of you too, I want you to know never feel what you did is
not seen. There are eyes out here catching it all and loving it.
Your support is what makes it all worth while.

Aomagrat I have seen every one of your war ships
and thank you from the nephew of one that served on
a Canadian ship CAYUGA during the Korean War. I have relatives in Canada and this man had great
Sea stories he would tell me as a kid.
When I graduated highschool, I joined the Navy here in America. My heart really belongs to the Navy.
Thank you for serving Aomagrat in the Navy and I
hope to see you as one of the Freeper Friday vets one
day. Snow Bunny said you were moving and had said
after you got settled. I was glad to hear I have that to
look forward to on Freeper Friday one of my main Canteen
days.
Coteblanche, thank you for your support. It has a special
meaning to me coming from Canadian.Some of my family
live in Canada. We are sort of spread out all over and when
we manage to get together, it is one fun time and long talks.
I also checked out your poetry area there at Free Republic that
you have Coteblanche. Your heart is pure gold and I can see
why you are one of Snow Bunnys friends. She sure has good
taste in friends and companions at the Canteen. What an
awesome group of people Snow Bunny has helping her with
the Canteen.And she has written to me before how she loves
all of her friends so much. I can see why , you are all special
people.And Gator Girl, God Bless you for being the wife
of someone serving now.
Thank you Canteeners for your support and God Bless you
and your families.

The one thing that has saved my sanity is the
Canteen and the laughs I get when I come there.
There is someone that I just cant help but be
WILD about, a Canteener named Souris. I never
Knew a mouse could effect me like she does.LOL
She has tamed the heart of this lion and is a big
reason I can handle my situation right now.
I would ask beautiful Victoria for a song dedicated
to Souris but my knowledge of songs is lacking.And
I would want to be able to present flowers to Souris
and Victoria for the music.
Thank you for helping me get through the boredom of
being at this desk for probably another two months.
You Canteen patriots are an amazing group of people.
Do you have any idea the lives you touch every day ?
More then you may know is my guess !
God bless you Canteeners.

I laughed so hard everyday seeing that milk carton and
the Samwolf on that thing. Then with all you girls
surrounding it like that. The day counter changing each day
till his return.
Man, what a bunch of nuts ! ROTFLMAO
Then you all have those crazy little cars you drive around ,and
those pin up dolls that keep my blood pumping.
The Bad Boys and their pranks and jokes.
I would pay for this kind of entertainment !!!
And in the blink of an eye as a complete force you all switch
to getting me to wipe tears from my eyes with your compassion
for those serving now and those that have served before.
Heck your not just a part of my life , other then my dedication
to the Corps , YOU ARE MY LIFE !
Thank you!
