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, thank you Sam. I love "Pipeline". My brother-in-law taught me how to play that on a guitar. I played lead and he played rhythm and did the dead frets!! That is the only song I ever played on guitar. (I played clarinet, sax, and drums.)

Sorry I'm late getting back to you but we had some thunderboomers go through the area so I shut the computer and the ham radios down until they were well out of the area.

Thanks again. Surfs up!!

ATTENTION ON DECK:

Thank you.

There are a number of Veterens that could not attend our Spring Dance because they could not get away . . .

I beg to differ. I am just an American who once was stationed far from home. I remember what that felt like. That is the purpose of this thread. To help ease that same feeling for you if at all possible.

You on the other hand, are the MEN! (Women too) who guard our Freedoms each and every day. IOU bigtime. That is a debt that I can only hope to repay.

I SALUTE YOU

[4TheFlag]

Did you send one of those limos to the correct address?

Uhhh...hmmm..sure did (let's see, yellow pages..limo's..572-)

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I just wanted to personally Thank the 3 of you
for helping making the USO Canteen such a success.
SALUTE

[Brownie74]

Thanks to you and Billie and all the others that make this thread possible. In my opinion, it is the greatest thing going on the internet - not just Free Republic.

A respectful (ex)Air Force salute to all of you.
