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.

Popular place you got here. It was on about 13 when I got my flag and it is now zooming in three figures. Keep up the great work!

Thank you Tonkin for letting me know.

silverkor I am so very glad to meet you. I had gone to bed last night immediately after posting goodnight and missed Tonkin's post.

I would love for you to come to the Canteen on here as often as you like.

We are open day and night, nights are quieter, but someone is always lurking or posting here , sitting around the fire, nibbling on goodies from the Canteen kitchen, playing music.

WELCOME HOME silverkor! Thank you for serving this country and helping to keep me safe . Because of you and all the veterans and those serving now I have lived in a free country. Thank you.

Thanks Uncle George...I FReepMailed your post to myself and will look to find the sheet music on-line. I've never heard the song, but I definitely like the lyrics...would it work with a band made up of a coupla guitars, a drummer, keyboards, and harmonica?

Just so you know

Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him.

As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with "blood on their hands."

The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, insisted that all prisoners be released. Thus Mr. Atta was freed and eventually "thanked the US" by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center.

This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

Listen to President Roosevelt's speech to Congress, Dec. 8, 1941.

Very impressive!

I've heard just bits and pieces over the years.

Thanks, Tonk, very much.
