USO Canteen Freeper Style 11-01-01

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.

Arggghhhh! I hate Flash stuff because I want to see it but it takes so long to load and I get impatient. I watched part of this - seen one tourist pic, seen 'em all. Some are a little over the top, aren't they? I mean, The Lord's Supper. Not good. :^)

Well! What a rude thing to say to a guest. : (

That's OK. You're so pretty, I'll overlook it.

And what gorgeous, big brown eyes you have, Ms.Billie.

I can forgive you anything!

Did I overdo it??: )

That's the way I see it but you forgot to include those who pushed for the law and the City boardmembers who signed it.

Just doing my part to help the servicemen. A penpal is a fun thing. I had a couple of them when I was in Nam. Both older men who were Vets of WWII.

Hi Jellybean. I don't know what it could be. Maybe when there are a lot of graphics in the thread it takes it longer.

For me it loads fast on my lap top and sort of normal on my regular computer.

What I do is once I have been to a thread I only use the self search and click on the number of the post to me instead of the name of the thread. Then it goes fast right to the post.

I wish I could help but I don't know what it could be.I love seeing you though.
