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!

One might think you are tired of the white stuff

NEVER, my dear FRiend, I could put up with this 12 months a year, I actually HATE summer.....

Hey Brother!
I'm having way to much fun on that other thread.
Some more anti-President Bush and anti-foreign policy types arrived. LOL
The more they personally attack me, the more I know they are starting to realize klintoon is not in charge anymore.

Hi, Victoria. Interesting picture - at top. Amazing difference in the way Osama looked at that time and the later photos we've seen of him.

[4TheFlag]

Coming over, I'll be on the left (go figure) flank...

[COB1]

Hi, Victoria!
It's always nice to see you!
The doctors let me out to exercise for a little while today as long as I'd let them put the jacket on me that buttons in the back.

[The Thin Man]

I dunno, Sam - it looks like T Man can hold his liquor better than the rest of you - look at him - he looks none the worse for wear. Guess it's all in what you're used to. Prolly does it all the time. :)

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

[COB1]

Thanks, Barnacle!
I'll drop him a note.
I'll tell him I'm very glad that shortly he will be one of us......forever!

[Teacup]

Now that I look at the pictures, yes we do all look alike. Mr. Teacup just called, and I shared all the post with him. He was laughing and enjoying everyone's humor. That's good, because really did feel bad about erasing those pictures. Sassymom, and I looked marvolus too, darn, ROFLOL.

Greetings and salutations to all from Miami, Florida, where it is currently 85 degrees and sunny. Remember to bring sunblock!

If I hadn't had the ability to cry after 9/11, I think I would have exploded!

Roger that. I didn't shed a tear at the time and the immediate aftermath. But it spilled out in angry outbursts at home and at work.

I taped the CBS special marking the six-month anniversary of 9/11 that aired last week. Still haven't seen it. . .

[Billie]

Absolutely! Salute! Sam posted some of the pictures from the Award ceremony, too. Love seeing our heros rewarded.

[Teacup]

Oh how wonderful. Have a great time, and report back, LOL.

Hi, Ohio - look forward to seeing your latest sketch of "Georgie". :)

[Teacup]

my good friend's son has joined the United States Marine Corps

Tell him, "Welcome to our family." (Marine wife of 13 years).

[Billie]

Hey, 4 - afternoon to you!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I am very pleased to announce that my good friend's son has joined the United States Marine Corps."

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

Good Afternoon to one of my Heroines of the Canteen.
