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!

I hope that FR has had it's last little down/slow period now.

Yes, I know what you mean, hehehe.

[Billie]

WHOO HOO! Breakfast, lunch AND dinner! I could go for that one - much better than the English one lowbridge posted yesterday morning! (Pork 'n beans with a poached egg on top and greasy link sausages for BREAKFAST?) :^)

[SAMWolf]

Any one have any ideas why the computer I use at work, won't recognize www.freerepublic.com as a valid DNS entry since Wednesday?

I've cleared the cache, upgraded the browser to IE5.5 and tried everthing else I know.

Only Free Republic is giving me the problem, all other sites work. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I am having FR withdrawal!

[Billie]

FANTASTIC photo! (posted here half size - going back to check out the thread again.) Thanks for the link, Howlin!

[Billie]

Hey, tonk - you finally wake up? :^) Missed breakfast but think there's some Mexican food for lunch. :^)

[Billie]

Cute turtle! Cute, cute, cute! :^)

"Hey, tonk - you finally wake up?"

hehehe well I was up till 4AM PST.
I hope everyone has a great day today!

[Billie]

All I can tell you is that FR has been down so many times..... at DIFFERENT times of the day, but almost every day. You must be "at home" now if you're here!

My suggestion? Don't go to work! Stay here and play with us. :^)

[Billie]

Do you mean this is your first time to visit the Canteen, or this is the first time you've seen that picture I posted with you in it? That thread was posted in March, I think. :^) At any rate, if you're here for the first time, Welcome - we're here every day, and every day it's something new! New food, new graphics, new friends, new songs sometimes......always new and never old, we have fun, and not only here on FR itself, there are many military bases and clubs reading us every day. Wave and say hi to them! :^)

[Billie]

hehehe well I was up till 4AM PST.

I don't know how some of you do that! If I stayed up that late, the bags under my eyes would weigh me down. :^)

Missed breakfast but think there's some Mexican food for lunch. :^)

I just put the Chicken Enchiladas in the oven, they will be ready in about 20 - 30 minutes. :) Does anyone want a Margarita to start off with???? We have lots of chips and salsa.

[blackbag]

I have been checkin out the canteen fairly often.

However thats the first I have seen of the Men in Black series...

Must have been out of the country when that was posted.

[SAMWolf]

Yep. I'm home today. My daughter got into a car wreck and we've been doing the contact insurance, arrange for rental car thing today.

I'll tell my boss Billie says it's ok to stay home and play on FR, she shouldn't have a problem with that.

[blackbag]

Well thank you Snow Bunny...

You are too kind.....
