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!

Now, that's an angel figure there!!...(sigh)...

[COB1]

My Gosh, Aqua, that brings back memories!
That was my favorite jitterbug song!
I wonder if I can still do that?
Let's go!

Would someone please be so kind as to find out if there's a doctor in the house?

Dedicated to all the Service Members, our Allies and the Veterans

I have been in the trusted "care" of MARINES many times in my long tenure... and there are NONE BETTER ! In Korea, the only thing tougher than a MARINE was a TURK.... with the difference being that you could "trust" a MARINE and you never took your eyes off a TURK.

[Aquamarine]

LOL! I just knew you could jitterbug. I'll bet you can Boogie Woogie too!

[COB1]

I wasn't there, but my D.I.'s in boot were!
They said that the knives the Turks carried looked like they were made to cut off heads!

[Scuttlebutt]

HA! You can't see my combat boots!

These days, I'm having a little trouble seeing my own shoes when I look down. *Someone suggested that it's probably time for me to start wearing bell-bottomed shirts.

(*LadyX can be absolutely brutal at times).

[Invictus]

Wayward Wind, if I remember right was a Gogi Grant hit... and if memory serves, Patti Page had the biggie with "Ivory Tower".... they sure don't write tunes like they used to... sure glad I don't have to listen to to the stuff they call music nowadays.

[COB1]

Yep, I can Boogie!
That's the sure sign of a misspent youth!
LOL!

[COB1]

"*Someone suggested that it's probably time for me to start wearing bell-bottomed shirts."

LOLOL!
Yep, that Lady can put you through the grinder on the "fine" setting!

[LadyX]

"Would someone please be so kind as to find out if there's a doctor in the house?"

I have a special connection with MedProf if you need medical care after this night!
Shall I have him Stand By?

As the only Marine here with whom you can dance(..:)), save the last dance for me?
(I promise not to request one of my cadence calling tapes be played!)

[Snow Bunny]

HI Flag Man, I hope you are feeling better today.

[SAMWolf]

<== Mash This - May I have the this dance LadyX?

[COB1]

"they sure don't write tunes like they used to... sure glad I don't have to listen to to the stuff they call music nowadays."

Ain't it the truth!
I heard "Wayward Wind" a short time ago on an oldie's station, but I haven't heard "Ivory Tower" in a long time.
Both are beautiful!

Hey, Lady Marine!
Front and center!
You owe me a dance!

[LadyX]

Invictus, I remember well the reputation of the Turks who fought in Korea.
I understand they thought it imperative that if their sword were drawn, they were obligated to dispatch an enemy with it - and always DID.

I am delighted you have been with us on this happy occasion, and hope you will return often.
Snow Bunny and Billie have a new thread every day, with a new theme to honor our military.
Thank you so much for coming!
(I nag pretty effectively, don't I?!)

[COB1]

Sorry, SAM, I'm gonna HAVE to cut in on that one!
WOW!
I love that song!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Sam. Sorry, I was having some of the delicious food here.

May I have the next dance Victoria?

Absolutely.

[Snow Bunny]

Hi BBJon, thank you. Have a wonderful day with your family. (( hug ))

Thank you for your support and we will be thinking of you.

[COB1]

Would you please ask MedProf to bring a stretcher?
I don't need it now, but I'm going to!

[LadyX]

Hahaha, dear Scuttlebutt...the bell-bottomed shirt to go with the bell-bottomed pants?
When you were in, did you still have those that buttoned with 13 buttons?!!
Those HAD to be a hindrance..:)))

Don't forget our dances tonight...I'm looking forward to them!
(I hafta do it, Cobby - we are [the best] part of the Navy and they wrote our checks!)
