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!

There was a blonde at a soda machine in Vegas, and she arrived there just before a business man coming to quench his thirst.

She opened her purse and put in 50 cents, studied the machine a short while, pushed a Diet Coke selection, and out came a Diet Coke. She placed it on a counter next to the machine.

Then she reached in her purse again and pulled out a dollar and inserted it in the machine. Studying the machine carefully, she pushed the button for Coke Classic and out came a Coke Classic and 50 cents change.

She immediately took the 50 cents and put it in the machine, studied it for a moment and pushed the Mountain Dew button. Out came a Mountain Dew. She placed them both on the counter next to the Diet Coke.

As she was reaching into her purse again, the business man, who'd been waiting patiently for several minutes by then, spoke up. "Excuse me, miss, but are you done yet?"

She looked at him and indignantly asked, "Well Duh! Can't you see I'm still winning?"

Here's one back at ya....

One day, a diver was enjoying the aquatic world 20 feet below sea level. He noticed a guy at the same depth, but with no scuba gear whatsoever.

The diver went below another 20 feet, and the guy joined him a moment later. The diver went down even farther and the same guy was right behind him.

The confused the diver took out his waterproof chalkboard and wrote, "How the heck are you able to stay under this deep without equipment?"

The guy took the board and chalk, erased what the diver had written, and wrote, "I'm drowning, you moron...!"

Hi, VetGal - that makes, I think, 4 of us that I know of then. (you, me, Louie, Diver) Go Rams!

[Billie]

Hi, dansangel! Sure was nice seeing your son-in-law on yesterday's thread!

[Billie]

I am looking forward to President Bush's State of the Union Address on Tuesday. We are all so lucky to have such a wonderful Commander-in-Chief!

HEAR! HEAR! And our wonderful VP was on Meet the Press this morning, being wonderful! He just doesn't get ruffled, does he? I like it because he answers the questions that are asked - in contrast to the democrats who answer every question with the canned responses they have prepared by earlier talking points.

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Aeronaut! Ready for football today?

[Billie]

So Morgan it is, huh?! I haven't seen that li'l fuzzy ball since the first pic Sam posted. Anybody know for sure Beamer didn't eat him?

[Billie]

GREAT, low! Another look at the President carrying that fantastic book! The TG is, OF COURSE, Republican!

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for the song! I love it!

Here's a joke I promised I would tell a while back and I'm finally getting around to it.

Mrs. O'Leary has 22 children, and she says to her husband Patrick, if I have another child I'm going to commit suicide. He says Mary if you have another child, I'll commit suicide. Nine months to the day she has another baby, and there's Patty O'Leary on top of the closet with a rope around his neck tied to the ceiling, and the wife is goading him on to jump "Go on you said you'd jump, go on do it now, jump!"
So he takes the rope off his neck, gets down off the closet and the wife is really at him now "Why wouldn't you jump, you said you'd do it, why wouldn't you do it?"
He said "I could be hangin tha wrong man".

Do ya think 'whoever' is takin' a cheap shot at ya, Snow Bunny?
