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.

The Emblem for Norad
The blue background of the shield signifies the air; the turquoise waters on the globe denote the sea;
the yellow continent indicates the land -- the three environments in which any defense of the North American continent would take place.
The silver wings enfolding the globe in a protective manner, issuing from behind the globe and out of space are symbolic of the Armed Forces and the might of NORAD.
The upward position of the sword pointing toward the northern skies represents the direction from which the shortest approach of the potential aggressor will be met by NORAD.

Norad
.The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a binational United States and Canadian organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America.
Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, utilizing mutual support arrangements with other commands.
Aerospace control includes providing surveillance and control of Canadian and United States airspace.
Cheyenne Mountain Command Center
During the Gulf War, it often took more than five minutes to notify ground troops that Iraq had launched a Scud missile.
Today, the situation at the North American Air Defense Command at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado is much different: If a missile of military significance is launched anywhere in the world, it will show up on NORAD computers within seconds.
Computer operators then instantly contact commanders on the ground -- via computers and a sophisticated satellite receiver station on the battlefield.
The use of satellite imagery also has revolutionized other battlefield communications. The army is now using satellite imagery and other systems to give ground and air commanders photographs and interactive on-screen maps of the battlefield.

NORAD...how cool. Dad used to work in The Mountain, years and years ago. I remember a few times when he didn't come home for a couple days at a time. I was in 4th, 5th, and part of 6th grade while we were in Colorado Springs, and I don't know if those were exercises or close calls when he was gone. And to be honest...I don't want to know even now.
To: Aeronaut
Weather is fabulous here in south Florida. Winds are calm. Should be another balmy, Winter day, with highs in the 80s...=^)
To: Tennessee_Bob
HI, I have missed you. Good to see you. That is so neat,about your Dad. I also know what you mean. It is good to know they are doing what they do, but better not to know all that is going on.
Even with this I made sure the things I posted were ok and from their site that allowed it for the public.
Have a wonderful day my friend.
