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.

There Is Nothing Like a Dame
sung by Sailors, Seabees and Marines
We got sunlight on the sand, we got moonlight on the sea
We got mangos and bananas you can pick right off a tree
We got volleyball and Ping-Pong and a lot of dandy games
What ain't we got? We ain't got dames
We get packages from home, we get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper and advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume we get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get? You know damn well!
We have nothing to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world,
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame!
We feel restless, we feel blue, we feel lonely and in grief
We feel every kind of feeling, but the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding-Hood
What don't we feel? We don't feel good!
Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever
In anyway shape or form like any other
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world,
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame!
Nothing else was built the same, nothing in the world
As the soft and wavy frame like the silhouette of a dame
There is absolutely nothing like a frame of a dame
So suppose that dame ain't bright or completely free from flaws
Or as faithful as the bird dog or as kind as Santa Claus
It's a waste of time to worry over things that they have not
We're thankful for the things they got
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame!
There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothing thinks like a dame
Nothing acts like a dame or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by putting him near
A girly womanly female feminine dame
