The USO Canteen FReeper Style
Delivering a Touch of Home

A Touch of Home

.


This is how I think of the USO Canteen 
Freeper Style. It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night. 


Since it opened, it is magical how so many
Freepers who post here, feel it too. 
It has been so dear how the Freepers
kept making it a cottage - a home-type of 
place that had a huge living room
for them to visit in and a dance floor, 
a library, etc. 


Many Veterans have written to me, 
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they 
served. 


This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy 
and sometimes troubling world. 
Make yourself at home.

Snow Bunny

If you know a Veteran, someone in your family, 
friend of the family, neighbor, who served their  
country, take a brief moment of your day to thank 
them. 


Thank them for the sacrifice they made
for the better good of their country.


We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper 
Style, are thankful for every service member 
in our military, who has served our great nation.


So, to the men and women who answered the call,
In both times of war and peace, thank you.

.


Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. 


John McCrae

Here is a look into my inner thoughts
My serious ideas for some boycotts
I cherish the rights for people to say
What they believe, it’s the American Way

Although some of their words might offend
Their right to speak it I will defend
I learned about this from Voltaire
Freedom of speech should be everywhere

Here is a word for Barbara Streisand
Written in Shakespeare’s very own hand
When he wrote it he thought of you
Yes it`s “The taming of the Shrew”

And to Ms Julia Roberts
Your sense of logic really hurts
You should stick to what you know
Playing the part of a high class 'ho

And to Rosie O’Donnell the know it all
If I need your advice I’ll surely call
Here is a question just for you with your big toosh
Why would you of all people hate a Leader named Bush

I have things to say about Rob Reiner
The old big fat liberal whiner
I read a lot of the things that you said
To me you will always be a Meathead

Oh by the way, George Clooney
Your comments prove you are a Looney
Because you played a Doctor on TV
An Actor you are, but not to me

And how can I forget Sean Penn
You prove you are dumb again and again
I saw the movie “Dead man walking”
I wish it were called “Sean’s not talking”

To a great singer known as Cher
Behind your voice is empty air
When you speak it seems to me
The best part of you was Sonny

I also have words for Alec Baldwin
About what you’d do if Bush did win
I have a good suggestion for you
A long term trip to Timbuktu.

Here is a note for Belafonte
An aging singer from antiquity
I read your words about Colin Powell
I found them all to be most foul

And to Martina Navratilova
It’s so bad but you came over
I do not even like your stupid game
And you are as ugly as your name

I’ll never forget Susan Sarandan
I am glad that she ain’t commanding
I like your looks and that you can act
But that is all you do and that’s a fact

Just because you all make a good pay
Doesn’t give you the right to say
Things that truly offend me
And those in the Military

Yes we have the right to speak
I think our time is now unique
For the rest of the world to know
We are the 1 nation with our ducks in a row

Many know you from the silver screen
But there is another way you are seen
Anti-American all of the time
I’ll never give you another dime.

Here I am at the end of my thoughts
I’d like to see some more Boycotts
These people make a lot of money
While putting down the land of the Free
