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!

They are those pathetic sea cows around Florida which are frequently chewed up by propellers on boats driven by careless, heartless folks.

Be sure to pick some dollars from the tree out back. I am sure that Costco takes them. More will grow by night.

Hi Stranger!

[whoever]

.. I've been accused of lots of things,..

Accused? ACCUSED? That is an honour, my man, an absolute ultimate honour.

[whoever]

Super, Mr. Tonk. Thank you for your help. Have any more neat things like this? I am a real nerd for gadgets, shortcuts, helping hands.

One really neat thing happened today.
I had just finished broadcasting a weather and sea report to the public and when I finished a fishing boat called in and said "Thanks Coast Guard Station for a very clear and well pronounced broadcast." No one in the radio room had ever recalled a fishing boat paying a compliment to the person broadcasting before. Well I do have year sexperience as a taxi dispatcher and at one time did voice overs for a cable company TV ads.

It should answer all your questions.

Thank John...he created it for us.

[d4now]

sexperience ...???

Tonk, I think your freudian slipped.

[whoever]

Thank you, d4.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Tonk, I think your freudian slipped."

I knew as soon as I saw that I'd be in trouble.

[whoever]

.."Thanks Coast Guard Station for a very clear and well pronounced broadcast." ..

This sounds like me. When my cable, phone, electricity, etc. go out and I have to call in, I always call back when service is restored and thank them and ask them to pass the message to the service crews.

They are always stunned into silence for a few seconds. They are so used to being cussed out, shouted at, etc. a soft thank you is just overwhelming. (They do remember me later when I have to make another call.)

....." sexperience ".....
