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.

Methinks I need to get hooked up with your neighbors and the locker - you people keep the best, and ship the rest. Iowans DO eat the best beef and pork products. ;-)

Sadly, you are correct. Most of these old farmers have a "very good eye" for prime meat,,, they can identify it while it's still in the feedlot, and the very best stays in rural freezers. Very few urban folks have ever tasted 'true' prime meat. There is no financial incentive to send the good stuff to market, so we keep it for ourselves.

The quote that belongs with the picture:

"My nose isn't even bleeding from both sides. Now I am going to show you what happens when you mess with big guys. I am going to clean Afghanistan from border to border. Ready troops, Let's Roll."

Awesome sites,.. Thanks for all your doing!!

HUGE BUMP TO THE TOP FOR YOUR POST #8 WITH THE SERVICEMEN SITES. I pray that TONS of people will e-mail or write to our servicemen. Keep their morale up folks.. words of "support and appreciation" means so much to them. If you don't believe us.. ask a serviceman or woman the next time you see one!!! :o) God Bless them all... and all of you who will support them!!

And I'm not a flirt. (he said, with fingers crossed)

I just speak the truth, and the ladies know it. That's why they love me.

Nope, it IS the uniform, flyboy - it's only the uniform. Your looks and your charm have absolutely nothing to do with it.....zip, nada, zilch! (she said, with fingers crossed) :^)

I'm working on Invictus - I HAD his photo a long time ago - I can't find it anywhere, and I wrote him to please send again. No reply yet. If no photo, I certainly will honor him anyway.
