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.

I watched part of the White House USO reception earlier with a co-worker, and naturally mentioned you, FR and the Canteen.
Your service knows no end. Ongoing gratitude and awe.

I see the sailors didn't wreck the USO Canteen, of course FRI night might be a different story, LOL
To: Snow Bunny
I kept listening to hear him thank Snow Bunny & Billie. Perhaps I missed it.
Thank You Snow Bunny and Billie!
Those words come not from the President, but from one with an equal heart for our country, our military, and our veterans.
May GOD bless each and everyone of us.

Hey Tonk, good to see you!
Majors props to you, and everyone working, serving, and those of us just hanging out in the Canteen waiting for bar to open. ;-)

That is so cool...I hope that W has found FR by now. He's supposedly loves the internet, although, I imagine his surfing time has been drastically reduced since 9.11.
Mine, on the other hand, has gone through the roof! ;-) Thanks much for all your graphics.

Hey, there's a thread about models on the runway wearing chocolate clothes. I've been accused of never wearing the same thing twice, so I'm thinking of buying some - ends the dilema of what to do after I wear something once - I'll just eat it. Here, want a button? :^)

Hey, good afternoon, Britton J. Wingfield - I don't think we've met, but nice to see you at the Canteen. We usually have iced tea or lemonade or coke floats about this time of the afternoon. Want one?

It's difficult to have only one chocolate, but thanks much for the offer - I know you'll have more than one offer of assistance. ;-)
Seriously, I'm off to the grocery for shrimp, beef tenderloin, bratwurst and chicken breasts. Anything I can pick up for you and the Canteen?

Didn't get to see it - now, see, I KNEW he'd been lurking here! :^)
Seriously, this President of ours seems to think of everything and knows all the right buttons to push to show the world he loves his country and will do what it takes to keep it safe. Isn't it wonderful to know that he cares about our military, truly cares about them, and they respect and honor him as well.
