IMPORTANT NOTICE

Jim Robinson has received notice for the legal firm representing the USO.
They are demanding that Free Republic discontinue using "USO" or "USO Canteen"
on Free Republic and remove all references to the "USO" trademark, logos, etc, from Free Republic.

I have been in touch with Jim and this is what we have come up with.

"Free Republic Canteen" is acceptable.
"FReeper Canteen" in the title of the thread and "FR Canteen" in the small graphics and banners.

Nothing has changed with the the Canteen EXCEPT for the "new graphics"
AND we can now "discuss" politics.
As you recall the USO forbids political discussions.

I do ask that we keep the politics to a minimum since the purpose of the FR Canteen is:

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
Showing support and boosting the morale of
our military and our allies military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

Good job Tonk (re #41)~ ignore the haters that pop up to spew their venom ~ support our troops and support our CIC: Geroge W. Bush!

It sounds like a winner any way I read it. I know nothing about the inner workings of the USO except what is posted at the top of this thread, which I must say does not shed a good light on their mission -- which is in part, to encourage and edify the military, right? I don't understand their problem with FR but it sounds like a case of Good Jettison.

On with the Canteen!
