U.S. Military History, Current Events and Veterans Issues

Where Duty, Honor and Country
are acknowledged, affirmed and commemorated.

Our Mission:

The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans.

We hope to provide an ongoing source of information about issues and problems that are specific to Veterans and resources that are available to Veterans and their families.

In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support.

Today the FReeper Foxhole invites you to visit the home of the skeptical, irrascible, doubting, iconoclastic Captain Critical, aka Captain Barb, whose pontificating will try to amuse, bemuse, irritate and generally annoy anyone bold enough to stay long enough to read the random ramblings of a self appointed distaff critic of anything and everything from new age to old age, from god to goddesses, and from here to infinity. And who will continue to remind you that women are veterans too!

Did you know that there are almost two million women veterans? From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, and more, women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand of them. So on these pages you will find the history and accomplishments of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since it's beginning.

Amazing women, do amazing things.

If you want to know anything about women in the Military,
this site is the best I've ever seen

Sharp salute to your friend 'GI Jane'. Thanks OLA for telling us about her distinguished service to our country during Desert Storm and currently.

[Aura Of The Blade]

Hi SAM - The military has come a long way since the 1960's and 70's, but anyone who wears a uniform deserves the utmost respect, especially with all these anti-war protesters, as of late.

A salute to all women serving or who have served in the military, which includes you Antijen ;)

[SAMWolf]

Hi Aura. You got that right.

[floriduh voter]

Women in the military, you go girls!

[Jen]

Thanks!! You have a nice homepage, BTW. I look forward to seeing the merchandise once your e-store opens.

[Jen]

Thank you Aura! ~~~~~Salute~~~~~ returned. ;-)

[Aura Of The Blade]

You are quite welcome, Jen. Great topic!

[floriduh voter]

Glad you liked my home page. I plan on starting out with a few shirts & caps mixed with some links to great essays by some Freepers and links to the GOP Team Leader site.

I may have to hold off on the kid's stuff at first but the grownups will see stuff never seen before.

So, my philosophy at the moment is that if the Bucs can win the Super Bowl and they sold tons of merchandise (to me & my family), then I can definitely proceed with my e-store.

[Jen]

Sounds like a great idea to me.

I rooted for the Bucs this year - because my Colts weren't in the game and I hate the Raiders!

Greetings AntiJen, SAMWolf, FReepers, et al:

Hope everyone appreciates my contribution of "GI Jane's" story. Who knows, after she opens my e-mail "ping" to her; perhaps she'll become a Foxhole FReeper too? Then again, maybe "GI Jane" is a "Lurker" already. You never know. :)

[floriduh voter]

BobJ hates the Raiders too. You all have a nice Sunday. I am signing off.

[Jen]

That's terrific OLA! I hope your friend becomes a FReeper - if she hasn't already - and joins us in our little Foxhole. There is a "GI Jane" already signed up on FR.

[Jen]

Bye! See ya later.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[Turtleman]

Well, I've spent a few hours and bucks there. :)
