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!

Good morning, Aeronaut. How are things in your part of the world? Have the weekend off?

Minnesota heat wave. We're expecting 50 degrees Sunday. I have a Men's Breakfast at church this AM, otherwise I'm off.

..I have a Men's Breakfast at church this AM..

Wonderful. Please remind them to pray for our President and service personnel.

I hope you have a restful weekend.

I wish you the same.

Don't argue with the kid

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

Hey SB!! It's about time I got to participate in a USO thread before the 300th post!!!! My brother, a USAF officer who was in the Pentagon on 9-11 sent me this last night, and I tried to post to a thread, but Angelfire has been letting me down lately. Please note, this was not made available through any USAF channels but IS available as a matter of public record.

I thought I'd share it here as a link, but it's not for the squeamish...Despite what anyone has heard, this shows the devestating results of Army/ Navy coordination, basically born of the lessons learned in Grenada in '83. Note that the vehicle described as a BMP is actuall a BTR Variant:

Meeting Allah!

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

LOL Young children are not stupid.

[BigBlueJon]

Thanks for keeping the fire burning. It's cold here in the High Desert. Good mornin' everyone.

"Hey, long time no see!"

Yeah, divorce does funny things to one's credit, one's finances, one's living arrangement's, and consequently, one's ability to access FR!

[pubmom]

There's nothing like visual evidence of a job well done!

"does funny things to one's credit, one's finances"

About 5 years ago I lost a business, my dress blue Navy uniform,
all my personal papers, my year books, cruise book, my car and then got stuck with huge bills.
10 years of my life of being honest and faithful and this was my reward.
She made out, left me for someone who had lots of money.
