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.

BEAUTIFUL! On one of the morning shows the other day, they were talking to the lighting engineers who did those two towers of light that are shown in this photo. Really very interesting.

Good morning Billie. I'm going to be so nice from now on that you will never be able to use that "No!!!" graphic

  I don't believe it!

You knew I would use it, didn't you? You set me up to use it, didn't you? :)

You're gonna post my "Yes" graphic now, aren't you? (Or the "No", just to trick me!)

That was very clever of you, posting that graphic without just cause and then anticipating my response. There is nothing left for me to say. You win. :-)

An Update on my Sister:

Thank you dear FRiends for your prayers for my sister. She saw her oncologist today and GOOD NEWS!!! The CT scan showed just tiny spots of cancer that had returned, so NO SURGERY will be needed! Praise God!

She will have the radioactive iodine, which will kill the cancer cells. It will be a larger dose than if she had had it a year ago after her thyroid surgery, and she will be in the hospital for 2-3 days, but the oncologist says my sis will be OK!

I am so relieved and I am singing songs of praise today to our awesome God. Thank you dear FRiends for your support of me and my sister. I love and appreciate y'all so much!

Jen

Come to think of it, I have not seen you in the Exercise Room lately here at the USO FR Canteen. Stop on by, we have lots of new equipment.

Oops, sorry, can I send you some sunshine? Actually, our beautiful day has pretty much blown away - March is not kind to us here! That saying "comes in like a lion and out like a lamb" doesn't hold true - it comes roaring in and it goes roaring out, too!

Hi, there, Howlin. Thanks for the greeting - know you've said you check in every day - but we don't always know when you're here, you're so quiet! :)
