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.

We'll be there for you! And thanks for the chops! My mouth is watering already.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Always interesting to visit the Canteen.

[COB1]

I'm with you, B4!
The murder of our people cannot be allowed to go unpunished!
If we bomb an old folks home in Afghanistan, so be it.
If it were up to me I'd flatten the whole damn country!
Then I'd flatten the whole damn country of Iraq and any other country who gives safe harbor to these murders!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'd put "The Duke" up against any ragheads...anytime...anyplace.....!

[Iowa Granny]

I'm with you, Why'sa. The Duke is just a special kinda guy. I never miss one of his movies on the Western Channel. His boyhood home is about 100 W. of where I live.

Tonkin, your links are wonderful. Thank you. The "e-mail a soldier" link is down temporarily, but I found another website through Agapepress you might want to add to your list.

I just looked at your profile page again.
Tell old No More Demofascists that he's a lucky man!
Now y'all have been in PA long enough.
Git yourselves back home!

Check out post #86 - we can visit the dearamericansoldiers.com website, write thank you letters (and direct our troops to the Canteen).(^:

For all you baseball fans out there:

A Scottish man was at a baseball game.

It was the first time he had ever seen the sport so he sat quietly. The first batter approached the plate, took a few swings and then hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run, Run!"

This happened two more times, with a single and a triple. The Scottish man was now excited and ready to get into the game.

The next batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "walk" and the batter started on a slow trot to first. The Scotsman, extremely excited now, stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run ye b@sst@rrd, rrrun!"

Everyone around him started laughing. So the Scotsman, extremely embarrassed, sat back down. A friendly fan, seeing the Scotsman's embarrassment, leaned over and said, "He can't run - he's got four balls."

The Scotsman then stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, man...walk with pride!"

I wish John Wayne was still around - he was my hero - he always reminded me of my daddy. There was nothing I thought John Wayne couldn't do. (And I thought he was 7 feet tall, too) :^)

Hillary's Lovely Legs post on the Guild thread today.
"I am just about to bust out in pride.
I just got off the phone with the Admiral of the USS Teddy Roosevelt's wife.
I told her that we are sending our boxes and what was in them and she was in tears."

Please Read Snow Bunny's Post on The USO Canteen thread today
about feedback from the military AND Bob Hope

To ALL: I would like to personally thank each and everyone of
you for your love of our country, support for our President

[blackie]

Thanks TGYC, it's a very powerful thread!!!!

[Billie]

She is the perfect Canteen Hostess, isn't she? :^) I do good to answer those addressed just to me, let alone greet all the visitors who come, though I'm happy to see new faces and familiar ones every day. And speaking of new faces, while I'm talking to YOU, dear Mama Bear, I noticed that Louie Louie added a few more familiar names to his profile page. There may be even more now!

Click on the Vampire!

One of you younger gals can dance with the Dude that's lookin' to dance in the middle of the day,,, for safety sake, I suggest you leave all the lights on.

Aha!sounds like you've danced with him before. :^) Think he's been known to squeeze his partner a little tight. :^)

[NorCoGOP]

Here's a former Navy sailor checking in...wow, was I ever that young?

[Mama_Bear]

I noticed that Louie Louie added a few more familiar names to his profile page.

I know, Louie's page just keeps getting better and better. :-)

[habs4ever]

Hey, for a Canteen that's supposed to be open 24 hrs, there's no need to tell time.Its like a casino, so dancing and holding your partner close can be done before the cocktail hour.;-)

How are your aching feet? ready for another spin round the room? But Billie, I lead, as always, so please watch them feet of yours!!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, Tonkin. That is so cool about Snow Bunny sending the FR info to Bob Hope, and his positive response. WOO HOO!!
