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!

Quote of the Day

Territory is but the body of a nation. The People who inhabit it's hills and valleys are it's soul, it's spirit, it's life.

..yep, you guessed it, Hey to ya. ..

Welcome home, 4. You have been missed today. Daisy fixed the most delicious Mexican food today. What a tasty spead it was. Never fear, 4, I know how much you enjoy that food, I saved you a large platter with some of each just for you.

Please tell the FD I will have somemore cinnamon rolls for them on Friday. They are a great bunch. Need to be, to rescue you so often.

[whoever]

What a great quote, 4.

Thanks for the inspiration.

You're gonna have to dye your hair red, so we don't have the same ones! :)

LOL, I was born brunette and I'll die a brunette. I do have a few light brown hair and red hair dolls because I couldn't find brunettes with the same logo or message.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for sticking up for me on the Gun Thread today.
Some people just don't read the entire article and jump to conclusions.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Er....has anyone told you you're beginning to look an awful lot like Billie? LOL

And you should be the judge of that, right? LOL!!!

OK, Louie since you are so concerned, guess who is who? LOL!

My thought for the day, even though it's kind of late in the day for it:

"Many books will inform you,
Only the Holy Bible will transform you!"

Good evening everyone!

Hi 4! Nice to see you.

[whoever]

..My thought for the day, even though it's kind of late in the day for it: ..

In my thinking, it is never too late for a thought of any kind. That was a very good one.

Thank you.

..OK, Louie since you are so concerned, guess who is who? LOL! ..

Let me assure you, whoever is not in that graphic.

Neither! They don't have the *Louie* signature. : )

[Victoria Delsoul]

Great! that shows it's mine, hahahahaha!

[FryingPan101]

Thanx, Who. That's twice you've posted something personally inspirational to me in the last couple weeks. I had to look around the house today and yell, "Whoever, come out whereever you're hiding." LOL!

[whoever]

..That's twice you've posted something personally inspirational ..

Thank you for telling me that. I pray before each post that it will be used in some way to inspire, console, cheer, brighten the day for someone.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Great! that shows it's mine, hahahahaha!

But not the most 'coveted'. LOL

[SpookBrat]

Thanks for your support friends. I wasn't going to say anything and now I'm glad I did. I feel better. :)

Whoever, what's the chapel?

[SpookBrat]

Thanks for that pretty story. I cross stitch and embroider. (I collect all those old vintage embroidery patters to sew and quilt with). Everytime I work on a piece now, I'll think of this story. It's so true. Life gets awfully messy sometimes, but it always works out. Then we look back and think, "Why on earth did I waste energy worrying about that"??? LOL

[Aquamarine]

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. I'm not having a good one myself, even the President seems to be ticked off today. He had a news conference and told about how unhappy he is about a few senators holding up his judges being placed, and that he almost choked on his coffee when he saw the report about the INS certifying the pilots that killed 3,000 people.
As I've told you all here my beagle dog loves to hunt rabbits. Well, she showed up this morning covered in cow dung after rolling in a cow pie (they do this to cover their scent when they hunt). I didn't feel like giving her a bath but I had to anyway and it was gross.
It's just one of those days. Maybe I need to play another song...be right back.
