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.

After I found the infant in the picture and it sunk in that baby died (and I do not mean to leave out the others), I had to pick up my 4-month-old daughter and hold her. Ever since 9/11, I don't quite feel the joy I used to. The loss of all those fine and decent Americans has left a hole in my heart.
God watch over and bless our brave fighting men and women.

Please for the sake of your daughter, please, please DO NOT FORGET OR FORGIVE the murder of the children and/or the parents in the World Trade Center Towers. There is a lot of orphans today because of the terrorists.

Hi there Vikingchick. good to see you. Stick around we have lots of goodies to eat and the music is great.
To: SassyMom
Your post just made me think about something, I wonder if our troops get to have a beer over there on their time off. That country has such strange rules to live by.
I met a couple once that worked in Iran or was it Iraq, on a flight I was on once. They worked for some American company and they had to stay in the area for Americans and even their they had to obey the laws of dress code etc. if they left their apt. yuk.
Maybe it has changed. Not sure.
To: ALOHA RONNIE
Thank you so much. I sure will. OH how I wish Clinton would leave. It is so great to have a President now that has such wonderful respect for our military.
To: ALOHA RONNIE
what a beautiful post. It means more then you know that you shared that . Thank you so much my dear friend.((hug))
To: Cagey
OH my gosh I have not seen that since I was a kid.
Lookie everyone remember this at the end of the day.OH wow Cagey thank you....
To: SassyMom
Thank you for letting us know SassyMom. If you can later after he gets settled , email us his snail mail addy and maybe one on one we can send him supportive letters if you want to. Or his buddies too.I am hoping we can start to snail mail letters soon, it will make such a huge difference to the troops.
We always send some of FallGuys( my hubby) stuntmen's stickers to the men when we start to write them seperately.
During the Gulf War we got polaroids back from so many that had put the stuntmen stickers on their guns, tanks ,etc.
To: ALOHA RONNIE
What a fun memory. I love how the USO provides as many things as they can and always free to our troops. Thanks ALOHA RONNIE.
