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.

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that"
Brother, IF it ever comes to that we, as a nation, are going to be in some very serious trouble.

Hi Chrissie! It's good to see you too! Though I'm sorry to hear about your tooth ache.
Chrissie, you'd be surprised to know how much I've thought of you lately - seems there are bunnies everywhere as we get closer to Easter and I think of you each time I see one.
Please tell FallGuy it was a treat to read his posts the other day - ( I loved how he referred to you as "Bunny").

I kid you not. He refused to let me do it. He's independent like that. I did go to the store and bought the ham and soup. Then he wouldn't even let me open the soup can. Actually he doesn't trust me in the kitchen. He's done the cooking at our house for years. I cut the yard and trim the hedges and paint the walls and repair the broken things, etc. Sort of role reversal I guess. I've always been a tomboy girl. That's a girl who like being a girl, but was raised with brothers and likes to do boy things. Bottom line: I hate to cook. Well, good night all. It's late. God bless.

"Eventually I'll get a ride on one of these so I can see the entire area we cover."
You lucky man you ....someday I'd like to do that! What a blast.
But now that I've thought of it a bit more - you'll be wearing your lifejacket on that ride too - right?

Snow Bunny, thanks for your kind words. Nan, I'm so glad Jack is back from the hospital. The pain from shingles is worse than childbirth, right Jack? heehee!
Just as bad are the constant but necessary pain pills which makes one woozy and sleepy. I thank heaven for the distraction and pleasure of freeping while being virtually housebound for three weeks (even though I fell asleep several times right at the computer, something that's never happened before!). Feeling better now and hope this horrible malady will soon be over and never comes my way again!
Eagles Up, Jack!

but will take me out in the ocean. Grab your fishin' pole before you head out.
I used to go salmon fishing out of Illwaco and Westport up in WA. Lots of fun and the ones you catch always taste better than what you get in the fish market. :^)

"But now that I've thought of it a bit more - you'll be wearing your lifejacket on that ride too - right?"
I'm not sure what the policy is when you ride on a helo.
But whatever it is I'll be doing it!

"Grab your fishin' pole before you head out."
LOL!!! BTW I don't fish and the only fish I eat is fried shrimp once in a blue moon.
Maybe I can find a cow? LOL
To: Diver Dave;SnowBunny;SAMWolf;68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub;
..How can that space be available?..Do you have supernatural abilities, Dave? Few are able to discern that advertisment there. It is very humourous, but most miss it.
