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.

From my post #53 in yesterday's thread:
"Our schoolbooks devote more space to Hiroshima than to the far, far greater casualties on Okinawa.
Students are not told that the two tragedies are connected as if the American bombing to prevent an enormous bloodbath on the Japanese mainland is somehow not a direct result of the Japanese imperial military's efforts a few weeks earlier to unleash 2,000 kamikazes, and through suicide attacks and banzai charges kill every American (and tens of thousands of civilians) on the island rather than surrender."
I am sick of the liberal attempts to discredit everything this nation stands for!
When did the word "WIN" become dirty and undesirable?
If our forefathers had shared this attitude we would still be bowing to the Queen, and if our heroes in WWII had believed the PC way, we'd be speaking German.

Thanks for that, SAM. Baby animals are just too, too much. Why do they have to grow up? I never did.

Hi LadyX
To: daisyscarlett
Perhaps, we need a promotion, like the one that was run for milk. Instead of "Got Milk", we could have "GOT GRITS?

Why thank you Daisy, FallGuy says thank you for the grits.
To: Billie
Hello lovely lady!
Just wanted to say hi! I've had a really good day on FR today. In one thread, I've been called: a Nazi, AdolfFufkin, bootlicker, JackbootThug, Communist, Liberal, AFer, DUer, brownshirt, douchebag, fascist, socialist and lockstepper. The thread is getting boring, but I'm not leaving until someone calls me a "Shriner"!
To: SAMWolf
Amen on the hash browns....I second that !LOL

Good afternoon friends. Hope you all have a great weekend.
To: SAMWolf;LADYX
LOL....Sam is a good teacher, I learned some new steps that only wolves know. Very fancy stuff but I think I know how to do those steps now Sam. Thanks so much.
Bunny Paw on Sam's shoulder and twirl around just right. hahaha
To: Billie;Mr_MaGoo
I actually grew up in the era of The Dance Card!
It was, of course, always filled before the first note was struck...:)))
