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.

Good Morning Mountaineer.
Have a marvelous day my friend.
To support our troops I suggest everyone using the wonderful Post Office Box that Tonkin has so kindly made available. Can you imagine if every person at FR were to write just a couple of email to someone serving right now, everyone. Wow, that would be fantastic.

A few days ago, a Navy SH-60 Seahawk helicopter was lost off the coast of Greece. The crew has not been found, but is presumed dead. The two pilots were young Lieutenants, and the Enlisted Aircrewman was a 21-year old Aviation Warfare Systems Operator Second Class He wore these , just as FReeper Long Cut wears. Long Cut is active duty and joins us here when he can. We are blessed to have Long Cut with us.

Military Aviation is a dangerous business even when no one is shooting at you.

Thank you so much for your post # 45 on the Merchant Marine's. Excellent ! I love learning about each branch and each part of the branches of the service.
Our military and what it is should be taught in our schools. Children should learn how their freedom has come at a price and teach them to be grateful to our Veterans and those serving now.
Thank you Sam and I am pinging the Navy..... Thank you Navy!!!!
To: SassyMom
This is wonderful. Thank you SassyMom. Have a great day my friend.
To: SassyMom
is it too early for a Margarita...? It's never too early, if you really want one...
Can't wait to see your flower garden, though!!!!!
