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!

Thanks, I was showing kneezles how to do his signature. He will be able to use it if he ever gets the computer.... haha I've kind of taken over. :)We may have to do like my mom used to do. Whenever we had to share something she would set the timer on the stove and when it went off it was the next persons turn. lol

I just got home after spending the day as part of a Coast Guard Auxiliary exercise group
training with the Coast Guard helo.
I was on a boat directly under the helo and talking to it on the radio during the exercise.
Effective this coming week I will be in the Coast Guard Station every Tue
finishing my Radio Watchstander course (and then standing my watches there)
and every Sunday I'll be on boat patrols with the Coast Guard Auxiliary.





Please take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.

I read it WVNan. Good story, sometimes I wonder if letters home from soldiers ever change, just the wars seem to change.

"Effective this coming week I will be in the Coast Guard Station every Tue finishing my Radio Watchstander course..."
