USO Canteen Freeper Style...Thursday 03-14-02

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.

Thank you. I love trivia. Especially pop culture. :)

I like that picture thingy you put up. How do I copy and save it? I'm not happy with my computer geek being away from me. When he is here, he helps me.

Hi whoever, received this today and thought I would share it. Hello to All in the Canteen. God Bless Our Troops and Veteran's!

A man is posed this question: Which one would you choose?

You are driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.

WHAT DID HE SAY? He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations

My spirits are low, but I'll be ok. No news yet. :( I took the day off. I spent a lot of time in prayer today and slept. I did vacuum the couch though. LOL Guess I'll get up and find something else to do.

I hope your day off was a good one. I kind of had a day like that today too. It felt good, but I sure have a lot to do around here. My stepson comes home for spring break tomorrow and I don't have anything ready. Oh well, he will be ok. :) He is going to help kneezles put up a new fence. Isn't he a good boy? :)

Have a great day, my friend.

(Here is what I did all day... *giggle*)

I missed the squirrel comment last night. I was just glad that Louie and Vickie got things worked out.
I'm going to the show with my Honey tonight. I hope you all have a special night here at the Canteen.
