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.

Billie, you were right, no one can flirt more than LOUIE, not even a drunk sailor would strip in the Canteen, LOL

Geez! Billie stripped me of my uni, and you think I'd run around the Canteen in the buff.

Well, I WOULD! LOL.

To my brothers wearing the "green bag", who slip the surly bonds to defend our country:

"Lord, Guard and guide the men who fly" [ Official Hymn of the United States Air Force; Music by Henry Baker (1854); Words by Mary C. D. Hamilton (1915)]

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces of the sky;
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storms or sunshine fair. Amen.

Thou who dost keep with tender might
The balanced birds in all their flight,
Thou of the tempered winds, be near,
That, having Thee, they know no fear.

Control their minds with instinct fit
What time, adventuring, they quit
The firm security of land;
Grant steadfast eye and skillful hand.

Aloft in solitudes of space,
Uphold them with Thy saving grace.
O God, protect the men who fly
Thru lonely ways beneath the sky. Amen.

Hi, hi, hi, to the prettiest bunny of them all!
It's time for this guy to shut it down and let you and the Tonk guy take charge. Hope to see you in the morning.

(An hour later- LOL!)

The Country Music Awards are on? Where they sing about God, family and drinking beer? Thanks, Snow Bunny! No Hillary and an audience dressed in something other than black. That's entertainment. (^:

REMORSE

A painful sadness
Can't fit big screen TV through
Double-wide's front door

OPTIONS

Unemployment's out.
Hey, maybe I can get on
Disability

BLAZE

Distant siren screams
Dumb-ass Verne's been playing with
Gasoline again

DESIRE

Damn, in that tube-top
You make me almost forget
you are my cousin

I would love some of that bread pudding. I gave up coffee after the Navy, but I'd love a diet coke. Thanks so much.

This tastes great.
