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!

When I was growing up during the 60's, I got a hold of an Album by The Lonesome Valley Singers called "Hello Viet Nam". One of the songs on it stuck in my head for all these years. It is about that "quiet time" you sometimes have while in country. That time when all the feelings you suppress try to surface.

I'm writing you this letter
because you are my friend.
The fighting here is more
than I can take.
I'm homesick, tired, and dirty,
won't this fighting ever end,
But, Don't tell Mother this for Heaven's sake!

Just tell the folks I miss 'em.
That I am well,
and feeling fine.
Don't tell 'em that I killed three men
this morning on the line.
Just tell them that thier oldest boy
is fighting like a man.
And, tell them that I miss 'em,
and will soon be Home again.

To ALL who wore the uniform during times of war,

I Salute you.

HI B4, so good to see you. I wish my Uncles that all served and my Father could be here today to see the Canteen and peek in and have a sit by the fire and a nice dinner here. They would have loved this place and FR too.

But they are watching over us I am sure.

Thank you so much for your post and what you do here at FR and the Canteen and your friendship.

I just wanted to say "Greetings". I can't stay now. I have to go out and pick apples for the cobbler dessert tonight. Will someone there make sure there is vanilla ice cream for DiverDave? He made such a fuss last night.

Have a great day, all.
