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.

Sorry about the bathroom project slowing down. DH and I love to work on projects like that. We are our happiest when we tear up a room then fix it back up. LOL We redid a whole house in Ft. Worth. Have fun! Take pictures of it when you are finished so we can all see. :)

To: lodwick
HI Lodwick, thank you so much. Good to see you.
There are so many things going on in the news. Our troops are doing a fantastic job, but I just heard this morning about A Navy Seal that was killed. That always makes me feel so badly. One of our Heroes to be killed.
Hello to Mrs. Lodwick and thanks again for all your wonderful support and friendship.

Your post # 129......ROTFL......
To: SpookBrat
It was soooo beautiful here today! I have all of the doors and windows open to let in this lovely spring air. :)
To: SpookBrat, SunnyUSA, COB1, LadyX, all
"anyway, if you could please say a little prayer for us, I would certainly appreciate it." Consider yourselves prayed for! (hope it's ok to jump in here and say that). My neighbors across the street had that happen to them. He was hired and they moved and immediately laid him off! His wife who was not working outside the home had to go to work - went to work at a local bank. He found another position and then another with a different company - and they didn't have to move. Now, they have done so well, they "retired" and moved to the beach!!!! (She is still working for the bank and he is trying to find a new career in that part of the world). It is devastating when this happens to you - so your emotions are very understandable. IT's OK to be frightened and furious! Really. That's so normal!!!!! But FReepers prayer friends will join you in praying. Somehow it will all work out! IT WILL!
To: COB1
"Many books will inform you, Only the Holy Bible will transform you!"
Hey, there! Love that saying! Will not forget it!
To: SpookBrat
To me, the chapel is just around the corner - it's here whenever we need someplace special to talk with the Lord, to have FRiends join in with us in prayer requests, or to simply say to God, "Father, it's beyond me. I leave it all up to You."
Our USO Canteen is just the next post away.
