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.

Glad you are enjoying "our" feast. Would you like some Mulligan's Stew instead of the Irish stew? It is made with chopped left over corned beef and lots of veggies.
Thanks for all the yummy breads and desserts. That torte is just amazing!!!And we still have some trifle and bread pudding with caramel sauce left. They are in the kitchen. Never got past the kitchen crew. We held them back, LOL...

For a holiday, O'Sullivan decided to go to Switzerland to fulfill a lifelong dream and climb the Matterhorn.
He hired a guide and just as they neared the top, the men were caught in a snow slide.
Three hours later, a St. Bernard plowed through to them, a keg of brandy tied under his chin.
"Hooray!" shouted the guide.
"Here comes man's best friend!"
"Yeah," said O'Sullivan. "An' look at the size of the dog that's bringin' it!"

**waving howdy** I just now smell the corned beef simmering (I started it rather late) I love St. Patrick's Day vittles.
To: whoever
I don't know...up here in Washington, with all the rain and mildew, we get worried about green stuff on food.
Actually, it reminds me of a Star Trek episode where Scotty was getting some aliens drunk on purpose, using everything in his "stock". He came to the last bottle he had, which was some unknown thing in a bright chartreuse, and the alien asked him what it was and he drunkenly slurred back:it's...(pause)...gleeeen.
To: BeforeISleep;whoever
