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.

Oohh, Carolina, I haven't had Irish Creme coffee in a long while! Kinda early - let's hide the Bailey's until later this afternoon. :^) I'll just take a couple of truffles and save them for a little later, too!

I worked for many years on Navy contracts, meaning that I had the great privilege of working around the special folks who make up our USNavy. Yet, I never see the picture of the soldier taking the flag from the Fireman, that says, "I'll take it from here", that I dont just choke up.
That photo of the jet wash from the fighter jet on the carrier deck is a real keeper, isn't it? Go Navy!!
I have a special recipe for brownies, a family secret for the best brownies ever, and hope to get an address where I'm allowed to send 'em. Probably this Anthrax stuff has ended that hope forever. Oh well, I'll have to buy some M&M's or Snickers or something. Can't blame the Military for wanting only items with commercial wrappers on them.
To all our wonderful military folks who might be reading this, I simply want to say I think y'all are the greatest, that I pray for you every day, and that we welcome you here, to support you in whatever small measure we can. God bless you. God bless America.

Thank you for a wonderful and moving post, Truth. That drawing always gets to me, too, and I'm so glad that B4 posts it here every day. It's one of my very favorites.

HI ,nice to meet you. The brownies sound wonderful.
The brownies sound wonderful. I hope soon they open up the mailing to our troops for snail mail so we can write to ALL then hear back one on one and find out what we can send, like you luscious brownies you could send then to one certain person he/she can share.
Let's hope so.
I hope you stop into the Canteen often it is so good seeing you here.
To: lodwick
