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!

How nice your families got to get together! I'm so sorry you lost the pictures, Tea. Guess that's one of the bad things about the digital camera - better get them uploaded to your PC before they are accidentally deleted and they go POOF!

So, tell us.....is this really g'nad and is he really that cute? :^)

[Billie]

Terry! Really nice seeing you here again - been a while!

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Coby! Thanks! It's okay to cry, even if you're a crusty old Marine. :)

[Billie]

Hey, I thought you had gotten into who's house and found her wall of family photos. :)

[Billie]

Thank you, Tonk. SALUTE!! BUMPITY!

[Billie]

Amen, and thank you for the photo reminder.

This guy is a real jerk on the other thread, he has my blood boiling....

[Billie]

Your good friend (you, too!) must be very proud of his/her son! Congratulations!

Very nice vanity plate!

I suppose I should get out the bar towel, and hit the counter a few licks - or let Beamer do it. ;-)

[Teacup]

WHO???????? ROFLOL! Aw you guys, are funny ;^D

"This guy is a real jerk on the other thread, he has my blood boiling...."

Me too Brother. His anti-President Bush, anti-miltary and anti-vet stuff is enough to make any sane person ill.
You are like me, we both refuse to let this kind of trash go unchallenged.
We have to many active duty and vets that post/lurk on Free Republic.
They know that this type of stuff does not go by unchallenged.
Jack, YOU are a true American.
It's an honor to call you Brother.

[Barnacle]

That's great Cobby! Thanks.

[Teacup]

Here's my collection of freeper pictures I've taken.

[lodwick]

Sandwiches, anyone?

[Billie]

Hardy, har, har! Your wit is only matched by your charm. :-)

And good looks! You forgot to say " and good looks". :)

BTW, don't think I didn't notice you crossed out my name. Next, I suppose YOU'LL be drawing a mustache on ME! I'm onto you, you know. :)

[Barnacle]

Wilco Teacup. And, thanks for your offer of friendship and assistance to him. He goes in this September.

[Billie]

Hi, Clemenza, welcome to the Canteen. Is this your first visit? Of course, it's entirely possible I just wasn't here if you've been around before! Anyway, nice to meet you and hope you'll be back often!

[Teacup]

No Problem my Canteen friend. We Marines take of our own.

[Barnacle]

Please tell him I said "Thank You for your service to our country."

Wilco Tonk. And, as always thank you for your service - past and present!
