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.

Something to Sharpen our Aim

Yet another obl opportunity while hanging in the Canteen.
Aim the cannon with your mouse and use the space bar to fire. You have to lead the bugger more than most shooting galleries. Enjoy.

Thanks, Mo1 re my profile page. It's only 3:20 here - I guess I could go for a coke though instead of milk. :^) One of those days for you, huh? I'm sorry. Maybe just sit down and close your eyes for a bit, listen to some nice soothing music - forget that wild band that Louie and I posted! Go for Glenn Miller instead. :^)

Babe, you know I dance like Astaire, so to insinuate I'd crush your toes is well,...shameful...have you forgotten out last twirl under the Cantten stars? ;-)What is a rarefied Southern Belle like yourself doing wearing platforms??? Do they go with your pierced belly button? :-)

My pierced belly button? Yeah, right!

I'm so sorry, Fred - must have been last Friday night that I was thinking of....some other pretty boy flyboy stepped on my toes, of course! (Platform, anklestraps were the shoes of the 40's......and they are so today as well.) Ginger is ready to glide across the floor now if you're not still insulted. :^)

The troops would love a neck massage. Can you imagine being at the ready all the time,never really relaxing and needing to get the back and neck massaged. Fantastic. GREAT idea Spatzie. You think of everything.

I would love a cookie and some cognac. Thank you.

I am so glad you played it and had a giggle. I got it in my non freep email from one of our friends that's a Marine. He sends me things every once and awhile and they are always good.

Thank you for looking at it.
