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.

SAM, you may have been shy once, but now...? Nah...
And Bro, you've got a heart bigger than you know what...I'm not at all surprised you found a soul mate.
You, Sir, have brought joy to a lot of people today.
You've rekindled old fond memories.
And you've provided some wonderful entertainment to the members of the world's absolute best military. It's because of them that we're here. I know you and I, and the Flag-man, and Tonk...Snow Bunny, Billie, Aquamarine, Misty, GG, LadyX, and all of the other lovely ladies that make up the Canteen, will never forget our purpose.
I want our lurkers and others to know this...We Will Never Forget!!!

I don't have time to check on them. I'm too busy admiring Tonkin's style.

Thanks for those kind words HiJinx.
But I really am shy, especially around the ladies. I'm slow to open up, but the people at the Canteen just make it so easy.

I know a lot of the songs today brought back a lot of memories for me, hopefully it did for others. I really enjoyed myself.

It would be my pleasure.

More times than I can count you've been my Angel Tonk.
Thank you for every fire you posted this long cold winter.
And for the flowers when I wondered if it would ever be spring.

Looks like folks are starting to pair off for the evening...
Long day planned tomorrow, on the road, so I'm going to stumble upstairs and find an empty room..I hope!
SAM, thanks for all you've done...again!

*smiling at you*
*holding your hand*
*kissing it*

*drawing you very close*
*slowly dancing with you*
I'm the luckiest man in the Canteen tonight Donna.
Now all the women here are lovely and kind.
But I'm the luckiest man because I'm with THE one that I am most comfortable with.
KISS
