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.

Semper Fi, Marines!
& Happy 226th!
To: Keith
BTW, one of my prized possessions he had was an autographed copy of Jim Berryman's famous editorial cartoon of the Iwo Jima flag-raising carrying Truman's apology for slighting the Corps. Wow! I will bet that has some monetary value as well. Is it in good condition? Is it framed? Is it stored between acid free paper? Patriotic memorabilia is very popular. While I know you would never sell it, it should be preserved properly for your beneficiaries.
To: RaceBannon
HI there Race, I bet you do. You sent many to me and I saved them for this special day.
You are wonderful !!!!!!
((((((((((((((((((((((( HUG )))))))))))))))))))))))))))
To: Billie
Love it! That's so sweet of you ! Darn! Wish there had been two of them on that poster!
I am still looking, but how about the NEXT BEST thing, one of EACH?
Look: here is a blond AND a brunette!!!
(Just like our two lovely "USO Canteen FReeper Style" hostesses!!!)

Interservice rivalry being what it has historically been, You could suffer no greater a compliment than to be insulted by an Army guy.
God Bless the USMC. IMHO the best team players on, "the team."
To: Norb2569
Norb how sad about Chesty's son Lewis Jr. I will get several copies of the book, I can think of many that would want it.Thank you my friend.
To: Joe 6-pack; JoeSixPack1
It's about time you 2 showed up at the USO Canteen again.
SALUTE
To: Billie; Diver Dave
Your right Billie, Diver Dave is a handsome man, He looks wonderful in the picture too.
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub; JoeSixPack1
"It's about time you 2 showed up at the USO Canteen again." The good MPs try not to be too conspicuous when the troopies are having fun. As for J6P1, it's the USMC's birthday...I wouldn't blame him at all if he's passed out by now!
To: Snow Bunny; Billie
Come on over to the Condit Freep report. Jim Rob posted a picture from today's freep. I stood proudly in my Dress Blues to honor our Vets and Military. I passed inspection.
To: Iowa Granny
And I'm sorry to be so late checking in - we were watching Cousin Vinny on the tellie. You now have not a double, but a triple vodka, on the house.
Any troop checking in, please feel free to free-pour (no jiggers allowed), and serve yourselves - we love and appreciate all that you do for us - we wish that we could be there, and that you could be back here. God bless and keep you all, JL
