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 think it's wonderful, SB. And it is so "you."

Have a great evening. I envy you because you have three hours more on FR than I.

Hope I'm not too late to make a difference!

Habs.....Billie is too beautiful to be a bad anything. I bet she is a really good dancer. Yep.

Good to see you Habs. Yes I was a lot worse, but I am getting better everyday. Doc said I had walking pneumonia so I am doing really good and being careful to sit in the nice comfy chairs here at the Canteen.

[Jen]

Yes, it's great to see pictures of our troops, especially when there's a FR connection! Thanks for posting them and for all you do for the canteen and FR.

[Snow Bunny]

[Norb2569]

Good luck in your new venture. I am sure you will knock 'em silly!!

[Snow Bunny]

I know what you mean. When I read those books, I noticed I stopped reading them right before bed and only read them during the day. I couldn't stand to have THEM ( the clinton's) on my mind the last thing of the day...too many nightmares.

Are we still looking for a name for Beamer's kitten friend?
I was thinking, y'know, Todd and Lisa's daughter was born a couple of weeks ago, Morgan Kay Beamer...
What do y'all think of Morgan?

[Snow Bunny]

Yipeeeee ! Hurry up SassyMom, come home we have missed you !!!!!!

Great news kneezles.

"..I still have all my weight on by back foot, in case I need to retreat..."

Is that positive thinking?

If it is God's will for your life, you won't even consider that possibility.

I have to agree with whoever on this one. Give it everything you have and believe you can do it!

In 1990, I was layed off because the construction industry took a dive. My boss cried, but I smiled and told him I would be alright. I KNEW there was a plan for me. A year later after doing marketing consulting and graphics work and anything that brought in money, I was recruited by the premier architectural firm in town. It seemed I had reached the pinacle, with a 27th floor corner office and all the bennies. Then I discovered that a partner had lied to the president, and he discovered that I knew he had. It took him 6 months to set me up for a fall, but he finally convinced the president to fire me (the first time I had ever been fired).

I just smiled because I believed there was something better for me.

No one has been able to tell me what to do or has been able to control my life or my ability to provide for my children since 1992. I had $10 in the bank when I was fired. Sometimes, I still have only $10 in the bank, but I know there is a plan and a reason for me doing what I am doing.

Have faith in yourself, give it your all, and don't be afraid of risks.
