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.

A Few Words from our President Bush.......

September 14, 2001
President Bush gave one of the most inspiring speeches in our nation's history. In one of the most stirring moments, President Bush said, 'This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others; it will end in a way and at an hour of our choosing.' "

America Future has Never been so bright, we have a true leader and we will WIN this War!

Septemkber 16 ,2001
""When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."

September 17 , 2001
""I want justice. There's an old poster out west, as I recall, that said, "Wanted: Dead or Alive."

September 20, 2001
. In one of the strongest statements in his speech, the President said, 'Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists',

""By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies. "

September 24 , 2001
""Terrorists are going to realize they can't face down freedom. Terrorists are going to realize they made a big mistake, they miscalculated America. And I think they miscalculate a lot of our allies and friends, too. There is a determined will, and we accept the challenge in this administration. "

Septemkber 25, 2001
"America is a nation built upon freedom, and the principles of freedom, the values of freedom. And this is a nation that will not -- will not -- blink from the fight. This is a nation that will stand strong for the great values that have made us unique. "

September 26, 2001
"The folks who conducted to act on our country on September 11th made a big mistake. They underestimated America. They underestimated our resolve, our determination, our love for freedom. They misunderestimated the fact that we love a neighbor in need. They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the Commander-in-Chief, too. "

September 28 , 2001
"We're going to be diligent and patient and determined to bring people to justice and to rout out terrorist activity around the world. "

October 1,2001.......
"...you can tear down our buildings, but you can't tear down our spirit..."

October 2,2001
"Every person who gets on an airplane, who goes to work, who takes their family to visit relatives, is taking a stand against terrorism. You see, the terrorists, they want to intimidate America. The terrorists, by conducting their evil deeds, wanted our nation to stop. But they underestimated our spirit, didn't they? "

October 11, 2001
"I appreciate diplomatic talk, but I'm more interested in action and results. I am absolutely determined -- absolutely determined -- to rout terrorism out where it exists and bring them to justice. "

October 15 , 2001
"I made a commitment to every serviceman and woman: For the mission that lies ahead, you will have everything you need -- every resource, every weapon, every means to assure full victory for the United States, our allies, our friends, and the cause of freedom."

October 17,2001
"The victims of September 11th were innocent, and this nation will never forget them. The men and women who murdered them were instruments of evil, and they have died in vain. This nation is strong. This nation is united. This nation is resolved. This nation will defeat terror wherever we find it across the globe. "

October 29,2001
"Every American is a soldier, and every citizen is in this fight. And I am proud of our country. Our country is united and strong, and we're prepared."

From Snow Bunny: From the information I am getting in my emails and phone calls, we have now 7 bases and 3 Marine Corps League Clubs lurking at our Canteen here at FR. They told me it was ok to say they were lurking.
Some of their families are FReepers and posting here as well.
I sent Bob Hope the url for Free Republic and for the Canteen.With a hand written letter explaining Free Republic, Jim Robinson and his vision and the hard work he has done. He LOVES it !
Th various Canteen threads are being printed out and being sent to our troops, especially the graphics, poems, jokes, cartoons, wonderful stories etc. that they would enjoy.
If any one you have a base in your area, please take them a sheet to put on their bulletin board of both Free Republic and the USO Canteen.
Thank you all for YOU are what makes the Canteen special. And for every veteran here at FR.......... WELCOME HOME!
