USO Canteen FReeper Style
Snow Bunny and Billie | October 7, 2001 | Billie and Snow Bunny

USO Canteen Freeper Style

War has come to our shores. It was committed on American soil.  We have been able to live in Freedom only because of those who have fought in the past wars giving life, limb and all the sacrifices for us to live in Freedom and go about our day without fear.

On September 11, 2001, that comfort, that feeling of living in a land that would not be attacked ended.

William T. Sherman said it succinctly, "War is hell."

The day has come for this Nation and its people to understand that there is a risk in losing its freedom, and in reality there always has been. We have ONLY stayed free because of the sacrifices of our military, our warriors.

This is about saving the future of America. Aristotle said, "We make war that we may live in peace."




We are seeing the American Flag flying at homes now more than ever in my lifetime. We are seeing the American Flag flying on vehicles and people wearing Flag pins and small Flags on their clothes. America is united in the cause for Freedom and for our country to WIN against the evil that came upon our land to kill and hurt us. To change our way of life and to destroy America which is US, you and me. To take away our precious Freedom.



This is the Freeper version of the USO Canteen. Where soldiers could come and feel a small part of being at home. It is a place where you that have family in the military can post a thought to a loved one that might be able to read it far away from home. A place where we that support our military can help support them, post to them, fun graphics showing the price in America and our troops. Poems, quotes, cartoons, or articles of how America is behind our troops.

Those in our military are our Nation's warriors. Let us join hands, fly our Flag and let the world know how important our warriors are to us....And that our MILITARY, our Warriors, are America's TRUE HEROS!


"No Marine was ever honored for what they received. Honor was the reward for what they gave." (Anonymous) CHIEF gave his all in many ways. He touched our lives and his friendship meant so much to all of us. He will live in our hearts forever, and his friendship will always be a bright and shining memory in our hearts and souls.

I just love this thread, even though I wasn't included. So, at the risk of nasty rebuke, I'll just include myself, and thank you very much. That said, here is.............



Me.


(Tell me the year this was taken and I'll donate $25 to help Mrs. ChiefNegotiator during this difficult time)

I hope it is okay to ask here for prayers for my lifelong friend's son, Josh. He is serving as a medic in Operation Enduring Freedom. His father served in Desert Storm as a medic and he is following in his footsteps. He is only 18 years old and we are so proud of him!
May God watch over all of our men and women in uniform who are giving so much for our freedom to endure!

Billie, I can't thank you enough for pasting my mug on an airman. My father was a fighter jock in WWII thru the Century Series TAC fighters (' gainst communism). Bad kidneys kept me from getting beyond the AFROTC uniform.

I've seen your work on your homepages. You are a fantastic artist!

Billie and I present this to each of you for our wonderful troops and to support them.

Thank you both so much. What a great idea! Coming from a military family, I have been a cheerleader for our men and women in uniform since I can remember. :-)

As always Billie, your graphics are just superb. I especially like the old sepia tone look. Thanks for including me. I am honored to be in the company of such patriotic and beautiful women. :-)

God bless our military, God bless our allies, God bless America! And, may God give comfort to our military families who know not where their loved ones sleep tonight.

NOBODY would rebuke you for posting your picture in uniform. I'm not about to guess the year it was taken though! Thanks for participating - this thread is for EVERYONE.

"Did you see wattsMAN in one of the other groups? :^)"

Most certainly, Billie!
How could I not recognize my own son who was a twin to my older one, born two months later; misplaced somehow at birth - and rediscovered at the first CAROLINAS FREEPER MEETING in 1998?!!
I 'dopted him back and he me...:)))
(Expect to see him in November!)
