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.

"Please Thank some of those new Marines for me.
Let them know we are All proud of them." Um... Tonk...there is only so much one can do for a Brother in this instance.
You want me to tell a base full of Gyrenes I routinely hug and throw kisses to a swabbie?!!
I'd be run off the base for sure...:)))

(Laughing here, bro)
Do you REALLY think a self-respecting Marine cannot find her way to the official web site for the Marine Corps at Parris Island?
Go beyond the mere Update you linked?
Utilize the Base 800 number and wade through the Recorded Menu, trying until she connects with a human being (just before dialing up the Officer of the Day - oh, WOULDN'T I?!!)??
"Those requests must go through G-3, Ma'am - the number is XXXX and I'll be glad to connect you."
Nice fellow there listened to my 100 reasons why he should yell, "Uncle Sam" and asked how many vehicles and persons?
"We are instructed to tell persons like you (veterans, etc.) if they call and have one vehicle, to merely show a picture I.D. and proof of insurance at the gate, and you will be allowed aboard."
(As was so five years ago when I went.)
On Thursday is Family Day for Lima Company, when they are given their globe and anchors emblems, with displays and demonstrations for the families.
We will arrive about 0800 and do the Museum and tour some areas of the base - and get to the restaurant by the waterway (we missed it last time) before the crowd descends.
They are not allowed on base until 1100 hours that day!
Marines SCOUT and PLAN, MAN!!
