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!

JudyB1938....I will always be the name you gave me and I love it. Now get over here and sit by me for awhile , I am eating some of this great breakfast here at the Canteen . Then I have to go, Snow Bunny has some letters to mail to the troops.

Iowa Granny, I promise not to do anymore running in freezing temperature. That was in my crazy youth. My wife (Snow Bunny) , I honestly think would do it even today. She is a total cold weather person. Thanks for the good eats.

Billie, I love your artwork. You sure have a gift . Thanks so much for sharing your talents here at FR.

BigWaveBetty that picture of Osama is great. I think I will dream of that exact thing happening to Osama.

Mountaineer, my favorite pie in all the world is Pecan Thanks so much.

daisyscarlett, that is a good picture of Dolly Parton .Glad to hear she is doing a benefit for 9-11.

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub , great pictures. Thanks, they bring back a lot of memories.

Hey, Mr. SB! Nice to see you here at the canteen! Since you're a burly, manly kind of guy, we'll call on you for the heavy lifting, you know, soup pots and that sort of thing.

[lodwick]

Hey! Great to finally see you! It's good to know that I'm not the only one with "The List."

Best I get with it: be prepared to have the time of your life with the folks in the Canteen. See'ya. JL

[Billie]

Aw, heck, now we can't say Mr. Snow Bunny anymore! You've got a name of your own. :^)Thanks so much for sharing Bunny with us, and it's nice to meet you.

Bunny, aren't you going to make a new thread for today?! Probably no need to even fool with Keywords - doubt there are many who will see them since the New Style doesn't recognize them, and now that the New Style looks so much like the Old Style, I can leave the Old Style behind, too. I hated it until he made the latest changes!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Welcome aboard Sailor!
Thank You and Snow Bunny
for all that you do for our great nation.
God Bless You both.

[Mrs.Liberty]

BWB..Love that photo of Assama. Mr. Tom A. Hawk delivering a candygram, LOL.

[Mrs.Liberty]

Attention On Deck!
Welcome to the Canteen!
As You Were.

[lodwick]

Would you peek around the corner and make sure that our Iowa Granny has those Iowa Chops properly marinating? I tell her, and tell, but you know how she can be sometimes, and 7pm will be here before she knows it.

PhotoDeluxe is installed. Now what? JL

[BigWaveBetty]

You always say the sweetest things Snow Bunny! Well except when you're giving a liberal demonrat what for. But that's a good thing, because I love reading those stirring words you save just for them so much!

Now speaking of beautiful girls our troops are fighting for, where is YOUR picture? Afraid your postman will break his back lugging the thousands of fan letters that you will surely get? C'mon! Post your picture! And don't forget Mr. Bunny for our lady troops. They need some eye candy too!

Thanks for this idea for our troops. I wish my Dad was still around to tell me about all the years he was in the Air Force. I do have some newspaper clippings from back then. I'll go through them again and see if there are some good stories to tell. I just wish I had been smart enough to ask about his stories when he was still here. Let that be a lesson to all those youngin's out there! Check back later!

[Billie]

Now what? Photo Deluxe is only a photo editing program. That's what I use to resize, crop, cut, paste, sharpen, blur, make transparent, change colors, stuff like that. Do you have some photos that you want to "work on"? Play around with it. :^)

[Billie]

BWB, ahem! Have you not looked at any of the photos above? Bunny's there in the very first photo - beautiful blonde sitting on the counter with Mr. Snow Bunny (oops! FALLGUY!) standing right behind her. If you haven't looked around, EVERY photo in the main part is a FReeper! EVERY SINGLE one of them------30-something guys and about 14 or 15 gals! The names are all there. :^)

[BigWaveBetty]

Yes Billie, butttttt that one is a little black and white, which is nice but doesn't do her justice! The one on her profile page is the one I'm talking about. Hubba Hubba!

And while we're at it, I'm sure you've got a hubba hubba shot of your own somewhere, hmmmmmmmm?
C'mon! Cough it up! ;^)

"Bunny, aren't you going to make a new thread for today?"

Suggestion: Because of the new thread format,
maybe NOT "date" each thread but just put USO Canteen Freeper Style.
Then it can be changed anytime without worrying about the date? Just a suggestion.

Well, Howdy, Howdy, Fall Guy. I am delighted to meet you. I saw your picture at the top of the page,,,,, I am so glad to know that you aren't one of those "Girly-boys" our Honorary Guildette, Ann Coulter writes about. We are so glad to have you here in the Canteen.

Now, could you please help me lift these huge trays of chops out of the oven. lodwick thought I was going to marinate them,,, heh, heh,, when he's doin' the cookin',,, he can do it the way he wants to. Tonite, these chops are filled with suculant Apple and Sage dressing. You'll notice they have been browned to perfection and are tender enough to be cut with a fork. I know it's a "Guy" thing to marianate everything,,, but I'm a "Girly-girl" and I've slowly baked these prime Iowa Chops,,,,, just the way any other "Granny" would do.

By the way, it's entirely possible these chops were grown on my own farm,,, just outside the back door. They smell better now than they did 6 wks ago!!

[BigWaveBetty]

Gee willickers! I didn't realize you are the esteemed Mr. Snow Bunny! (I'm kinda slow sometimes) I'm so pleased to meet you! You are such a lucky man to have Snow Bunny as your misses! (of course you know that already)

I got all excited when I realized who you are I forgot to click your name to see how long you've been here. Have you been at FR long? If not, what was the magic Snow Bunny did to get you to log on? Like I have to ask! LOL! (I have that pic you like taped up on my frig.)tee hee!
