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!

Hi there Everybody!

YAAAAYYYYYYY, it's Friday night for me!!! Tomorrow is a BIG day with the STEELERS putting it all on the line, C'MON Iron Curtain, right who?????

Well Beamer CERTAINLY enjoyed his swim this morning, he was in the water about 25 minutes, then decided he wanted to try the Kiddie Pool too! He enjoyed himself so much, and the great thing was, I didn't have to add water to anything this morning from all his drool.....just kidding!!!

Took him to the shop and dryed him off with a hair dryer (he DOES like that) and back to the Canteen by 9.

Hope everyone had a TERRIFIC day!

It seems like I recall her posting something awhile back about the e-mail system would be down for certain periods of time.

That is great Billie, I am looking forward to the next addition of the FR's Finest.
Yes, I am trying to get as many pictures as I can of those serving now, little by little everyone is sending them in to me. And the neat thing is how the Canteen does a lot of things for our troops and we have fun while we are doing it too........Now where did I put that bowl of M&M's..giggle

It just snowed here for about 10 minutes, then stopped.

[Snow Bunny]

See Norb, she is probably just fine, it is what Tonkin said I bet cha. Tonkin is one very smart brother I have.

Let's just keep our prayers for Trish and all of them and I bet Tonkin is right. I heard from Trish two days ago...very late Thursday night .
