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.

Sure. But I have two left feet, and my idea of dancing is not stepping on my partners feet.

SAM, that was a GOOD midi! Very good quality.
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub
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. Sounds good, Tonk. Glad to hear that.

To: Aquamarine
I can never get them to play. It's very frustrating. I get the midi/wave file icon to come up and it loads but it won't play.

Wow! I never danced with a wolf before. Danced with an eagle once at the White Shutters in Seattle.

Can you get Midi's to play normally? You may just need to set Media Player to recognize midi's.

Well, I can play CDs, but for some reason my real player nor my real jukebox won't play the things you guys post. I'm so computer stupid I'll have to get son to come over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Anyway, the carpet people are coming next Friday to lay the carpet in my remodeled office and guest bedroom suit. Then I will move my office into a new place and son will hook up my computer to cable and upgrade the harddrive. I'll have him fix everything then. I can hardly wait (except I have to move all those books....ouch). It's now 12:25 EDT and I have to go to bed or I will oversleep. Getting up at 7:30 which will actually be 6:30....agggggggggghhh!!! Nighty night.

Sounds like you need to have your son make sure Windows Media Player is available when he sets you back up. None of my jukebox programs work, either. I always have to fall back on the media player. Speaking of which, here's a preview clip for next Saturday...
