USO Canteen FReeper Style

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.

I think we ALL loved the Chief, carenot. I was weepy when I put his picture together, thinking of his January poem "Mother's Arms" and all the funny stuff he's written. He was special.

I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF FREEREPUBLIC..... I CANNOT TELL YOU! I can't believe my good fortune to have found this website. It has saved my sanity since I first found all of you wonderful people several years ago!

AT LAST! People who think like I do and share my sense of humor! Snow Bunny and Billie, you and others have constantly raised my spirits and this is an example of WHY! This is outstanding! Yes, freepers are patriots and we are on the front lines....and we will remain there for all of our lives because we realize that freedom is not free. Chief Negotiator knew that and it is so wonderful that you have honored him so.

Freepers are the greatest and you two are an example of why this is so. Love you both! :o)

A place to be unabashedly patriotic and thank our courageous servicemen and women....thank you!

Our country may not have the inspiration of Bob Hope, The Andrews Sisters or Glenn Miller, but Freepers, as usual rise to the occasion. Hugs!
