If you know a Veteran, someone in your family,
friend of the family, neighbor, who served their
country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them.
Thank them for the sacrifice they made
for the better good of their country.

We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper Style,
are thankful for every service member
in our military, who has served our great nation.

So, to the men and women who answered the call,
in both times of war and peace, thank you.

Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.

This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style.
It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.

Since it opened, it is magical how so many
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.

Many Veterans have written to me,
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they served.

This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy
and sometimes troubling world.
Make yourself at home.

Welcome to the USO Canteen Michael.
I pray for the day that Ted can post here also.

[Snow Bunny]

You and your family are wonderful Michael. And I pray for Ted everyday that he will be freed.
Thank you Michael for serving our country too.

[Michael Maher]

Thank you TGYC.

He was quite the character! Oh the stories I heard about him recently!
Everything from the war to prohibition!
I wish some of my relatives would write all that down somehow, it would be a knee slapping page turner, that's for sure. Rest in peace Grampa!
