WELCOME TO THE USO CANTEEN FREEPERSTYLE! |
WELCOME TO THE PRO-AMERICAN CELEBRITY APPRECIATION DAY! Today, we will be highlighting some of America's supportive celebrities. These people do not care what Michael Moore thinks. They don't care how unpopular they will be in Hollywood. They don't even care whether or not "President" Bartlett (Martin Sheen) sleeps well at night. Finally, they don't care what Susan Sarandon and her flame, Tim Robbins, believes. They stand with President Bush, our troops, and America. For that, we are paying homage to them today! Come and join in the fun!
Be sure to click on all the pictures to get a link! Also, visit www.celiberal.com for more information about all the celebrities!! |
Obviously, no one likes war. Our Congress and President tried hard to avoid the use of force, but ultimately decided it was the best course of action. I like the assertiveness shown by President Bush and think we owe it to our political and military leaders, along with our brave soldiers to be as supportive as possible during these difficult and trying times. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let our forces know that I am thinking about you and wishing you and your families the best. ---Tiger Woods, Golfer, from his website |

Veteran Hollywood star Jon Voight has blasted documentary maker Michael Moore for making an anti-war speech during the Oscars ceremony. The actor, who played a Vietnam veteran in Coming Home, took offense at Moore when he lambasted President George W. Bush as 'a fictional president' and claimed that America was 'against the war' in Iraq. Voight says, "I didn't like it very much. Michael Moore looks for trouble and exposes it, and he thinks that's the whole story. I don't agree with him. "I was thinking of the guys overseas. I was hoping all was going well." |
Hollywood Honor Roll Yes! Michael J. Fox (otherwise known to Reaganites as Alex P. Keaton) Rob Lowe (Yes! The same one that got busted at the DNC convention)
Kurt Russell is a proud card carrying member of the NRA. (Despite Goldie Hawn, he's a supporter) From "Northern Exposure" to motherhood. She's one Texan that won't back down. Dennis Hopper: "We need to support the decision that's been laid down by our government to go after Saddam and try to get him to disarm, which is what the United Nations is talking about, and not to give Saddam a mixed message that maybe he can get out of this."
Jean-Claude Van Damme says Hollywood anti-war activities are "part of the axis of ignorance."
Need someone to tell the anti-war protesters where to go? Here's Shannen Doherty!
She's done battle on tv with plenty of good girls. Heather Locklear!
There are plenty of other celebrities! Whose your favorite pro-America celeb? |
"All I can say is the president of the United States is a great leader, I happen to think he's a wonderful man and if he believes what he's doing is right I back him 100 per cent," said Gretzky, in Calgary for a news conference for Ronald McDonald Children's Charities.
"If the president decides to go to war he must know more than we know, or we hear about. He must have good reason to go and we have to back that." --- Wayne Gretzky, NHL Legend

There are many athletes, actors, and actresses that support America and especially our troops! There has been a lot written about those that seem to despise America and everything that we stand for. Today we highlight these people. Have fun everyone! |

In honor of the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, 19 April 1775.
Today's classic warship, USS Lexington
USS Lexington, a 448-ton side-wheel steamer, was built in 1860 at Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, for commercial use. She was acquired for the Army's Western Gunboat Flotilla in June 1861 and converted to a "timberclad" river gunboat, with officers to be provided by the Navy. Assigned to duty on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, Lexington took part in several actions with Confederate vessels and land forces during the last four months of 1861 and early 1862. In February 1862, she took part in the capture of Fort Henry and in other operations on the Tennessee River. During the next few months, she continued her activities in that area, participating in the great Battle of Shiloh in early April.
In June 1862, Lexington went up the White River and helped to bombard enemy positions at Saint Charles, Arkansas. She operated on the Mississippi during much of the rest of 1862 and was formally transferred to the Navy in October. November and December found her on the Yazoo, clearing "torpedoes" and bombarding the Confederates. Lexington was active in Arkansas and Tennessee in 1863, participating in the Capture of Fort Hindman, Arkansas, in January, the defense of Fort Donelson, Tennessee, in February, and the burning of Palmyra, Tennessee, in March. In March-May 1864, she took part in expeditions up the Black, Ouachita, and Red rivers in Louisiana, and helped defeat an attack on White River Station, Arkansas, in June. Following the end of the Civil War, USS Lexington was decommissioned in July 1865 and sold the following month.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.
.
Bless This House
Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

Thanks for dropping by the Canteen, apackof2, and adding to the list of pro-American celebrities. Question: was Ron Silver the actor at Clinton's inaugeration that said something like, "now those are ours", when the Air Force did a flyover? It would be wonderful if he is the one and has seen what it takes to protect America.

"No, I am not and I haven't a man that is!". This reminds me so much of our brave soldiers and marines still on the forward lines, continuing to preserve our freedom today. What an amazing heritage.
Great quote NVA. You are right about being reminded of our brave military who are working so hard to preserve our hard won freedom and safety. Thanks for the reminder and link.
