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.

Good morning. Having a nice hot cup of coffee this morning and enjoying the reading of FR. We spent a rainy Saturday at malls yesterday. My four daughters and wife have figured out how to handle my son, son-in-law and me. They head to a mall with a Galyan's Sporting Goods store and let us go "shopping" while they go through the mall.

Where I live, it is the Sheel's All Sports store where we send the impatient to wait for us while we shop. What a concept,,, a sporting goods store in the Mall. It sure makes life easier.
To: Snow Bunny
Good Morning all. I was hoping you could say a prayer for my wife and daughter, they are flying to california for three weeks today. I miss them terribly already. The flight leaves at 8:30est. I am just very sad and worried as well. Thank you friends.

Top o' the mornin' from South Carolina where Spring is springing!
'Tis the wearin' o' the Spring green we're havin' - dogwoods in bloom and leaves
flauntin' their new growth.
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.
Thankin' Him for the fine company - friends and 'family' - here on Free Republic!!

"So that whatever befalls me, be it good or bad, I should accept it equally, and give thanks always to God who revealed to me that I might trust in him, implicitly and forever, and who will encourage me so that, ignorant, and in the last days, I may dare to undertake so devout and so wonderful a work; so that I might imitate one of those whom, once, long ago, the Lord already preordained to be heralds of his Gospel to witness to all peoples to the ends of the earth."

famous man
One day at kindergarten a teacher said to the class of 5 year olds "I'll give $2.00 to the child who can tell me who is the most famous man who ever lived."
An Irish boy put up his hand and said "It was St Patrick."
The teacher said "Sorry Sean that's not correct."
Then a Scottish boy put up his hand and said "It was St. Andrew."
The teacher replied "I'm Sorry Hamish that's not right."
Finally a jewish boy raised his hand "it was Jesus Christ."
The teacher sais, "That's absolutely right Marvin, come up here and I'll give you the $2.00."
As the teacher was giving Marvin the money, she said, " you know Marvin, since you're jewish I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Marvin replied "Yeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business."
