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!

Hi Spooky! Hope you are feeling better! I agree, I've been to (sadly) alot of funerals with military honors and taps is always heartbreakingly beautiful.

Thank you for the dance it was wonderful.

[Mr_Magoo]

Please join me in the Lounge for a toast to our Fathers.

Taps no longer brings tears because of something I read once. It was at the funeral of (I think) Winston Churchill. In the Cathedril at one point in the Service, they played Taps from the Balcony in the rear. As the last note faded into silence, from the front Balcony a Bulgler belted out Revellie. (pardon me, my spelling sucks)The point was, it is not an end- but a beginning.

A Toast: To their New Beginnings!

"Lookin Through The Knothole Of Fathers Wooden Leg"

Hey Tonk, that brings back so many memories, my Grandad had a wooden leg and would fall asleep in the chair after Sunday supper and us kids would put a couple marbles in the knothole to the foot, LOL!!

He would get up and start walking, well, we ran then, LOL!!!!!

Good evening, and thank you for the dance. Hand up, head back, and let's waltz. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four - we're floating now...Your kindness is appreciated.

[lodwick]

Hey Guy - great to see you, and thanks for all the updates...from the letters to servicefolk, to the fine jukebox tonight.

Godbless for your work - and he will. JL

[Snow Bunny]

AMEN

Thank you for this Mr.M. the Arlington moment of silence.

[The Thin Man]

Hey Bunny where are you? I went to the Main Ballroom hoping against all hope to get a dance but they say you're in the Barn. Then I go to the Barn and I'm told you're in the Sock Hop Room, and then somebody tells me you're in the Disco Lounge.

I hope you overlook the fact that I didn't fill out your dance card. I was afraid I wasn't going to make it to the dance because of my lack of dancing prowess, but fortunately Arthur Murray taught me to dance in a hurry. :-)

[deadhead]

Hi Snow Bunny! Thank You for your kind response, it is appreciated. Have a great time at the dance!!

[SassyMom]

Good evening Mr. T Man. You are looking very dashing tonight!

[Snow Bunny]

The troops are so dear, the ones that can send email right away are really wanting us all to know how they love it, and most are doing it for more then one.It is very special like you said whoever. Can't you just see them gathered there and saying..say this say that.giggle

I am so proud of our military and our Veterans.

[Snow Bunny]
