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!

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 had forgotten I had that little patriotic line. You can use it - I've made it different sizes, it works lots of ways!

[Billie]

Great! We just about did them all, didn't we?!

[swampfox98]

carlo, I have a collection of 40's cook books. I'll look up some starchy, sugarless and meatless recipes and post them to you later this week. Would you like some Brer Rabbit Molasses in your tea? A substitute for sugar in the 40s. And those horrible little white beads that resembled fish eyes. Uggh

[FallGuy]

From this ole Navy man, let me say that song is right on. There IS nothing like a DAME and you and Snow Bunny are tops with me. GREAT work on the Canteen Billie and I went over to the FReeper Veterans thread where you are asking for vets pictures and it's wonderful.

Now where do I get a glass of wine. Is the bar to the right or left in the Canteen?

[FallGuy]

You guys are doing posts with such good information, thanks much.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thanks!

It's really not a penpal program. The messages will be printed in Stars and Stripes in a special section. But, I suppose if someone gave their name and address, some of the troops might write. Stripes is planning a discussion board on its website www.estripes.com that people can post to also.

Thanks for your support!

[Billie]

You just sit down anywhere (I know you're watching the Yankees/AZ game!) and we'll bring it to you! Thanks, FallGuy, very much!

Just stopping by to say thanks to the Canteen crew. People around the world are praying for our troops every day. I heard a great story last night from a British pastor on TV. On Sept. 6th the London Times ran a headline asking whether Christianity had been "vanquished" in Europe. Two weeks later and Europe like most of the world was asking questions, returning to church, praying. Millions of people around the world are praying for our troops and our nation. Osama and the Islamic terrorists made a serious error in judgement. (^:

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you how cute. I love little tweetie bird. heh heh

Your post was wonderful too. I am so glad you told us about that.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yep. Thanks Louie.

[Billie]

The Tweetie birds are so cute! (Where's Sylvester?)

Christianity is not dead - it's been strengthened since September 11th, hasn't it?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yes. Great pic, Sirgawain. Thanks so much.

You're not 'cranky' like someone I could mention. Her name beginning with 'B'.

Billie's not cranky. She's just more refined than you and I.

How's about a third? : )

It's too late for another coke float. How about some milk and cookies before bed?

Nice seeing you, jelly.

Nice to see you too, Louie.

I've been over at the OFFICIAL UNSPUN WITH ANNAZ AND MERCURIA THREAD: RADIO FR!!!!!!! site.

Tonk called in and did a really good interview! He even gave a plug for the Canteen thread. Did you get to hear it?

[Snow Bunny]

I love how you tell us about this. Thank you soooo much, what a wonderful thing Stars and Strips is and so great for the military.

[Snow Bunny]

Yes I did. It was very exciting and Mecuria and AnnaZ were so kind and helped plug it too .

Tonkin is so dear to do that. I wrote him a thank you freep mail.

What a neat radio show the FReeper radio show is and tonight was so good with Rev.Patterson and Race Bannon and so many calling in and Tonkin and and and and .. giggle....

Good to see you. Thanks for mentioning it here too.
