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.

..Headin' for church to thank God for His hand upon our land, and asking Him to place it especially upon all our men and women deployed around the world in the name of Enduring Freedom. ..What a great way to start the day.
Have a great day, Lady X. A truly great day.

I saved your doggie gif from yesterday because she looks like my little Daisy Mae. If you click on her, she has a song in her.

Hi Chance, I sure will pray for your family. Traveling and being away from loved ones is very hard. I will pray for their safety and that they will be safe on their trip.
I know what you mean too about missing them it is so hard to be away from those we love so very much.

Thank you LadyX.

I enjoyed that, thanks.
May I welcome you to The Canteen. You will find lots of really fine folks, great patriots, and supporters of our Veterans and currently serving service personnel. This is a fun place to be with a very serious purpose.
I hope you will visit again soon and often.

Oh, daisy! I new you were preparing a real feast for the holiday, but you have overwhelmed me. That is so delicious. I realize that lamb stew is traditional St. Pat's fare, but personally, I do hope you have a beef stew there, too. I am still stacking my corned beef sandwiches and I am so glad you added Kosher dill pickles

Faith 'n' begorah, 'tis a great grand party we've had this last two days...! Aye, and you'd think the entire world had become Irish overnight!
Well, then, I've certainly missed my FRiends here at the Canteen. I didn't know how much I've come to enjoy the company, until I stayed away for a while (2 days!!)
We went up to Tucson yesterday for a day of shopping and theater...we caught Debbie Boone in 'Anna and the King'...what a wonderful production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic! It was after midnight when we finally returned home, and up at 5 to get ready for church. It was our turn to provide goodies for the Sunday School class, and we turned out 3 dozen cinnamon rolls before heading out the door. The best part is, none of it came home! There's satisfaction for ya'!
