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!

Thanks Billie.

The price of liberty, ya know...

Our nation is certainly getting a wake up call concerning what that price really is, eh?

Out here in the hinterlands, aka flyover country, every little town is swathed in red, white and blue. It's inspiring and very encouraging.

Thank God for all of those who have kept the flame of patriotism burning until the time when a raging fire is called for in the defense of liberty...

Bless you for doing your part.

Thanks for the headsup!

Oooooo,Captain Billie can fly with me ANY time!

Ooo,Ooo,Give me an order,I must obey my Captain!

Besides I'm just a sucker for a woman in uniform.(So to speak.)

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you so much. I do have a bump list and will add you to it.It is so nice to meet you.

Please everyone remember to say a prayer for our men and women who are in harm's way tonight.
They're taking the fight to the enemy tonight for us and our great country.
And don't forget those that are on embassy duty all over the world; they're especially vulnerable.

Looks real good, Snow Bunny. I got a Brother-In-Law a bit early out of this War. My Sis and her soon-to-be got married a day after he caught wind of shipping out, rather than waiting until next Spring. He's part of the Home-Land Defense. Former Paratrooper, now an MP. Gotta keep the shores safe!

My Sis doesn't know when the real ceremony will take place. She was married in a business suit while he sported his military BDU's!

Nice digital collage, above. Between my University classes, I hope to be stopping back from time to time.

Thank you for the reminder, Cobby.
I imagine most churches did as our pastor did this morning, asking for prayer for all those in harm's way - before the shooting commenced.
It was thoughtful of you to include the embassies, and we should include as well as others not military who serve - or are going to serve - in peripheral services.

[COB1]

I just can't stand to see good snootches go to waste!
I don't know how long they keep before they go bad.

[Snow Bunny]

This is such a great graphic. I love it. Thank you !!!!!!!

[Snow Bunny]

LOL... I love it. Hey Osama .... take a look at the post from Kayak ..........heh heh.....

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Mike so much. Thank you for serving this country and for helping me keep me a free American.

Good post too. Welcome home my friend and warrior. God bless you.

"as well as others not military who serve - or are going to serve - in peripheral services."

You're exactly right.
There are many people all over the world who serve the military who are not military.
They are potential targets for the terrorists.

I guess I thought of the embassies because of the threats to our embassy in Indonesia, which I've driven by so many times.
It's like so many others in far flung places I've been - an island whose surrounding waters can turn violent overnight and completely inundate it.

[Snow Bunny]

Could you please post that..... Adopt a Soldier link. I would really appreciate it so much. That is such an important link.

[Neil E. Wright]

Thank YOU for your caring and support. All during my time in the Navy, where ever I went, there was the USO, always ready with good munchies and hot coffee when we needed it. And the USO tours that I saw were spectacular, thanks to people like you Snow Bunny! And I'm absolutely positive, the USO will be there again now, and as long as there's a U.S. Military, ready to serve our nation in it's own unique way, to ease the pain and heartache and loneliness of forward deployment, where ever, whenever. So, again, Thank YOU!

[Snow Bunny]

Dear Wrench, thank you for sharing that. It is always good to share things like that and let others see just what is happening with the lives of our families that have those serving, here at home or far away.

I am so glad you posted about your sister and her hunny. Thank you again .

Please stop by often at the ole Canteen.
