USO Canteen Freeper Style...Saturday 04-06-02

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.

'Bout time somebody around here woke up and put the coffee on!!!

As many of you fellow USO types know, I'm dog lover, and in response to another thread, started a thread asking for FReepers to post pics of their pooches. If you've got one to add, visit here.

Thanks for the cup o' grinders Billie!

Good Morning Everyone! I just wanted to say good morning to all of our troops out there fighting for my freedom and my safety. We have had a REALLY fun week here in the Canteen, but I want you to know that while we were having fun YOU ALL were in our hearts and minds. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL for what you are doing and for the sacrifices you are making. My prayers are with you! GOD BLESS YOU! Now for all of the veterans! Words cannot express what I feel for you. You are the best of the best. THANK YOU for what you have done for me and all of our country. You have given so much and received so little in return. I appreciate you and thank you for keeping us free! GOD BLESS YOU!

Please forgive me for posting this twice, but I posted it on yesterdays thread and I didn't want anyone to miss it. *smile*

I know I miss Susan.Maybe she can visit today with us. Hope so.

yes, that would have been so neat to have the green dress for St. Paddy's day. But it is so pretty it is great even now.

And your sparkle signature with it is fantastic.

Good morning, Texas lady!
I loved your bluebonnet picture yesterday!
I haven't had time to get any yet, but I will!
I had to laugh when my daughter took me to breakfast at a kosher restaurant in Burbank where they served, "the best lox sandwich"!
Definitely NOT the typical Texan breakfast!
LOL!

Snow Bunny, I know that FallGuy doesn't get any computer time anymore.
Tell him to give me a call and tell me what he'd like to say and I'll post it for him.
LOL!
Give him one of your wonderful hugs for me!
I love you guys!
