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!

Hey Flagman! Run down to Supply and get me a box of Grid Squares.

I don't think so SAM, but I will run down there and grab a handful, errr, bunch of Betty Grables, LOL!

[Billie]

Are you only NOW asking ME to dance, sir? I don't see your name on my card earlier, and I thought you would never ask. :)

[Aquamarine]

That was so good of Snow Bunny and Fall Guy to find me something to wear to the dance.
SassyMom sent me 2 ballroom dresses last week but when I went to put them on poof they were gone. I don't know who got my dresses! hehe.

[McCloud-Strife]

Stunning is a word that describes your little outfit nicely.
Ahem- ::looking as nervous as a cat caught eying the gold fish bowl:: I was wondering if you would do me the honor of accompanying me on to the dance floor as soon as the band is able to conjure up "I fall to pieces"?

[LadyX]

So glad you showed up in town for this!
Have to go out to pick out just ONE more dress - stopped to remind you I get
THREE DANCES with you, Invictus - all 40's slow ones.)

(btw - I liked Bing better than Frankie..:))

[Invictus]

What a FIND, Sam... I'm really impressed.

A good friend flew a B24 in the European theater of war... His was called "Little Patches", cause every time he brought her home, she was full of holes... hence "Little Patches". Just in the event, he may be looking in... HIYA Chuck!

Due to the large crowd today we have put out a mostly finger food buffet in the Main Dining Room. This is in addition to the Chuckwagon Buffet being served in the Barn area.

Sandwiches

Fruit Platter; Veggie Platter

Meat Platter;Shrimp Platter

Petit Fours

Watch out or your toes. . . Let's GO!

:-)

[SAMWolf]

I'll be here most of the day.

If there are any Active Duty Personnel lurking out there
that have a "Special Song" you want to hear,
drop me a request or E-mail Snow Bunny and I'll try my best to play it.

[Invictus]

Thank goodness you asked for a sloooooooow one.... How about Jane Morgan... and "Fascination"..... nice slow waltz.... "It was FASCINATION, I know"... my mind always drifts off with this song, as it was later parodied by Allen Sherman who used the lyric line.. "She had NINE buttons on her nightgown, but she could only FASTEN-EIGHT"

Gee, you handle those heels well !

[McCloud-Strife]

I would sure love to hear Fly me to the Moon by Mr. Sinatra, it has a special place in the ole ticker for me

[daisyscarlett]

The food is taken care of and yes I am ready to dance.

I felt like we needed two eating areas today because some of those lovely gowns would not do well in the BARN. Ha ha.

Fall Guy got me a gown or two also to wear and I still have the one you gave me from the Fashion Show.

[SAMWolf]

Special Request!

<== Mash This

[Aquamarine]

You have freepmail!

[SAMWolf]

Was this his nose-art?

[SAMWolf]

Mash on post #97. We have you covered.

[Aquamarine]

You have laid out a delicious buffet as usual. I'll be nibblin on that finger food the next few hours.(in between dances)

[BigBlueJon]

Hello Snow Bunny. How fun! What a beautiful day for a dance. Unfortunately my family and I have to go to San Diego today for a birthday party. Maybe when we get back and the kids are asleep, my wife and I will turn down the lights and dance a couple numbers. Save a dance for me. We'll see ya later.

Hello Freepers, vets and family. Have a great dance.

[SAMWolf]

I know it's not PC, but what the heck, it's a USO Canteen!

[McCloud-Strife]

I must say I do enjoy the peach cobbler, I think it is no accident it rhymns with "gobbler"
