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.

Damn! You're still the KING! LOL

I guess I'll beat you to bed then.

I'm up this early/late because of having a fish dinner that didn't agree with me.

Have fun. I'll see you later.

And don't wear the ladies out. I want at least one dance with all of them.

Never did learn to dance, but I don't mind watching. I am mostly noctunal,and will be racking out soon.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend all Freepers who participate in these threads on a daily basis.

The internet did not exist when I, and many of the other Freepers served. But I can tell you that it sure would have been nice to know that some one cares.

I can promise you that what you ladies and gentlemen are doing, supporting our troops, does not go unappreciated.

Keep up the good work, and may God richly bless you.

Bunny, I really do have to turn in. I haven't had much sleep.

I'll see you all at the dance later this afternoon.

Keep the dance floor hot, and the band wound up! : )

Couldn't sleep last night in anticipation of The Dance!
All of you who worked so hard on this have surely exceeded our expectations!!
This is so very special a presentation!

Four Dance Rooms? WOW!

Since I was 7 1/2 when Pearl Harbor happened, and had two older sisters, I was into every detail of the time - kept scrapbooks of pictures of the stars and singers, etc....my mother played all the songs on the piano and we would sing them.

Snow Bunny - I even went with my sister downtown in Miami to see Jerry Colonna -
Bob Hope's sidekick - perform at the Olympia Theater!

When I was in the Marine Corps, I went to USO's and never lacked for a dance partner..:)))
I also led an eight-woman Silent Drill Team, and we performed at the USO's in Charleston and Savannah....such wonderful memories, since it was at the height of the Korean Conflict.

Thank you, one and all, for your hard work and the end product - it is magnificent!

It was a privilege to serve, nothing I need be thanked for, although I do most sincerely appreciate the thanks that I do get

It was an opportunity to say "Thank You" to the many thousands who served before,who sacrificed and bled and died so that I could be free.

It was the least I could do.

I just never imagined that we would have so many enemies here at home.

That is why I Freep when I can find the time. To fight the ongoing battle.

Since it is pouring out right now it is great to just be a wall flower. Grap a cup of hot coffee at the canteen and then sit back and enjoy the music. Sure beats mowing the lawn.

I'm so glad my favorite trio, the Andrews Sisters, will be featured!

Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say Bella, Bella, even say Wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are!
