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!

I was trying to see if my detached notifier worked for posts because I know it works for mail.

It doesn't work - I'm in the same boat as you and Bunny.

Hey, I saw some video footage on Shepard Smith (Fox) this afternoon of a CG intercept of some drug runners. I think it was down in the Keys, but don't quote me.

Anyway, the bad guys tried to get away, throwing their bags of heroin overboard. The CG opened fire across their bow and the chase came to an end. Pretty cool stuff.

uhh, d4, are you typing English there?

I need someway to be able to see when I have FReepMail now. It is no longer at the top of the self-search page.

"I'm in the same boat as you Bunny."

If your boat starts sinking call me on the International Marine Distress Channel 16.

..Maybe I can find a cow?..

Are Manatees found in the northern Pacific?

[Diver Dave]

The first time I saw your sign, I drove 3 miles out of my way to get back to read it again.

You're absolutely right about the humor.

You need to click on threads or comments at bottom of page to check for FReep mail.

[d4now]

Well, now that you posted to me I can tell you it does work!

Try this whoever - it's pretty cool.

Tonk- see post 269.

Try it - you'll like it. :)

Great minds work together. I was thinking the same thing. lol

Yes, but that opens yet another window for me. I usually run 12-20 windows all day long. It was very convenient on the self search page, as that is open all day any way.

Thanks for your help.

This is amazing, Dave. You can see my portrait, my billboard, my image in the mirror. And now this? Are you sure that you are not a figment of MY imagination?

[whoever]

Good night, 4. Hope you can stick around tomorrow. Missed you. May God bless you.

"Tonk- see post 269.

Thanks Donna, I have been using it for several months. I have it as a desktop icon and it opens in full window.

The list looks great. I will just swing by Goody Street on the way home from Costco, have them load the Expedition up and then when I get back to the Canteen, I will honk the horn and hope to see a lot of our regulars come a running to help unload. Never had a problem getting help before. I just yell out "Groceries in the Expedition".

I have already done some of the shopping. Most of the stores have corned beef on sale so I really loaded up on that. But do have to pick up some mustard, horseradish, mayo, lettuce (wow lettuce is over $2 a head in my area) and other condiments. Plus Sassy Mom is making cookies so I have to shop for her ingredients, too.

Thanks Whoever. I am looking forward to lots of fun and good food on Sunday. Beamer and Morgan are excited, too. LOL...

Gee, now I have to find out what they are. LOL
