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.

Let us not ever forget those who fought in the Vietname War or any other war, but let us honor those who so valiantly fought to keep our freedom!

That's the purpose of my posting the pics. I am so glad Jim allows us to do this on his website. 50 years from now, I hope people will recognize the picture and what happened.

What a wonderful post Gonzo. Thank you so much.
(((((( hug )))))
To: Jim Robinson
Thank you so much . Let us know what we can do. For starters we could post the links you have with each new thread. Like we do the Previous Thread links etc.
One thing that has helped over the years is once a person writes to the troops and hears back from them, then ask what their needs are individually.
For example when my husband ( FallGuy ) and I wrote to the Gulf Troops and Kosovo Bosnia troops, once we heard back we then sent packages and mail to each on individually.But that would be on a personal thing wouldn't it. hmmmmmmmm Let me think.
I think to join your idea is best. To join with "Operation Infinite FReep" and we can post their links like you have here with each thread.And who to contact for sending things etc. Like if you want to send to them contact so and so FReeper, and the links. Then let us know what else we can do.
Thanks for the idea it is such a good one. I think this is going to be a long war , a different kind of war and we really need to back our troops and President in his efforts.Thank you so much for these ideas and any others you may have please let us know.
To: coteblanche
Hmmmm your police officer came up in the preview. Let's try this. I'm sure you won't want to forget that smile :-)Thanks, cote, but it wasn't necessary.
The one that hauled me out of my car and made go to the 'lock-up' room with her gets my vote.
To: ST.LOUIE1
This looks delicious. Thank you Louie so much. ((hug ))

It's been driving me absolutely batty - I never knew I HAD a password for this stupid GifART. I finally typed "Freegifs" and it quit showing up. I don't know who posted from that site, but it is annoying as heck!
I love the strawberry cake roll!
