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!

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.

I'll be on duty next weekend - south West Coast, Division 2, Flotilla 9. Thanks again for the tip.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wonderful job, Snow Bunny and Billie. Thank you so much for including me. Bookmarked!

[Billie]

So send me another one! (I tried to make one of them from the Dallas thing work, but it was just WAYYYY too small and not sharp enough to work with. I'm surprised I still could find them. :^) There was A1st, Daus, BettyBoop, Gracey.......more!) :^)

[Billie]

Sure thing, Victoria - hope your liked your "updo" - since your photo in the album has your hair cropped off! The photos were fun to work with.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I love it! You're great, Billie.

There is no shortage of patriotism on FR, that's for sure. If I may, here is the Veteran's Honor Guard forming up at the Martch for Justice.

This is what I'd really like. :)

Be still my heart!
Lucky me, with four handsome guys!

This stirs a lot of memories, not just having been a child during WWII, but having been in
the U.S. Marine Corps at Parris Island during the Korean Conflict.
Spent a lot of time at the U.S.O., conversing and dancing with young men who soon were sent to fight in Korea.
I also performed in U.S.O.s in Charleston and Savannah, heading a Silent Drill Team of eight women...so many memories...!!

My heartfelt thanks for the inclusion, my two dear friends.

[Sandy]

Excellent work. Thanks much!

Thanks for the heads up to this wonderful thread! The tribute to the Chief brought tears to my eyes! What a great idea. I wondered how I could help in the cause, and because of you and SB I am! LOL!
