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!

Checking in to the new thread to see what's going on since I left last night. :^) Some wonderful new graphics and links, you two! Thanks again for all your work and enthusiasm! I have a few more posts to read, and darn, I have to get busy organizing some way the info and photos from yesterday's Freeper Vet thread. :^)

YIKES! Almost life-sized, too! I'll have the banana split - PART of it anyway!

And then later I'll have the apple pie ala mode.

[Billie]

I love every one of these graphics you've posted!

[Iowa Granny]

Sorry, Billie. That Banana Split is only a 'vision',,, I had it for breakfast several hours ago. I left the Apple Pie for you,,, lots of apples here to work up,,, I can't get excited about Apples today!

My father is a Pearl Harbor survivor. I was privileged to provide support on an overseas base as a Navy wife in the early 1970s. My heartfelt thanks goes out to all the sons and daughters serving in the Forces and protecting us in their missions throughout the world!

"Quick quiz: do you remember when the first time TV stayed on day and night around the clock?"

LOL.. I flunk this one!
It probably happened:
during a move
or before I owned a set!!

Please tell me the answer, teach!!

"Quick quiz: do you remember when the first time TV stayed on day and night around the clock?"

Heck, yeah, I remember!
I was about eight years old!
A friend of mine had a TV they never turned off 'cause they were afraid they'd miss something.
'Course most of the time they were watching it snow!

Well, ok, if you've already eaten the banana split, I'll take the apple pie. Better zap it in the microwave so it will be warm though!

Lodwick, hope you're in a better frame of mind today, though I don't know why you weren't yesterday!

[Billie]
