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.

Yes, could I have one on the rocks, and extra salt on the glass, please? (If the frozen ones are all we have, that will do, though) :^)

I hope the poster didn't cause the canteen to lose too much business. :-) Looking at the clock, it's now time for me to head off to work. Ugh!
To: lowbridge
Are those flames in the background, or a chandelier on the Hepburn photo?

I'm thinking it's a chandelier. At first I thought Lowbridge got creative again.
Is that darn tourist guy back there, too?
Yesterday when I was driving across town, I looked in my rear-view mirror and did a double-take. The guy behind me looked just like Tourist Guy. Knit cap pulled down, glasses. Looked just like the guy at one of our Condit FReeps that Cheney Chick captured on film/disk.
To: lowbridge
Aww, no Tourist Guy??? Everytime you post a photo now, I have to inspect it to see if he's not lurking somewhere.

I'm working on my new routine called the Ramadama-Ding-Dong, like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain...I can't wait to see that one - is it a solo, or when had you planned to teach me the steps?
"Ramadama-Ding-Dong" reminds me of Lily Tomlin in her "One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingy" routine. :^)

Blame it on DD, Carolina. I didn't even think of the tourist guy in the Breakfast at Tiffany's because Low had already done a tourist graphic today - then after carefully studying the background upon DD's remark, over on the far right in the back is a blur that
could be him. :^)
However, it could also be this Margarita from SassyMom that has ME seeing things. Did she make you one, too, C? :^)
