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!

For all her faults, America is still the greatest nation in the world, and I couldn't be prouder to be an American citizen.

I couldn't agree more! Have a wonderful day my FRiend.

Good Morning!

Great job of describing NORAD and the work our military/civilian members of NORAD do to keep us safe! Really enjoy reading your USO Canteen threads!

Have a great day!

GoodMorning all. Mr. Teacup is off to Camp Pendelton. I have some chores this morning. I'll be back in a little while. I'll have lots of time to chat when I get back, LOL.

Good morning, dear Bunny!

You and Billie are a constant source of amazement!

Good morning Bunny. Interesting information about NORAD. It's comforting to know they are there protecting us.

BTW, I saw the beautiful blue rose LouieWolf gave you yesterday. He makes his FRiends feel very special, doesn't he? :-)

Happy Spring!

Morning friends.

Nice graphics, Bunny! Also, thanks for the links, Tonk.

[oldvike]

I hope me posting THIS LINK: "Freedom Sprint at Spanish Embassy in Beijing" on this thread is okay. I just figured that many people reading this thread fought for freedom and would get some pleasure out of seeing these pictures. I sure know that Ronald Reagan would be proud as hell.

I 'spect we all appreciate a great read like the one you just linked. It's well worth checking out, especially when you read that this episode was well-planned by NGOs and others.

I wonder if we are about to witness a rebirth of the E. European style 'defections' that were so prevalent during the early years of the cold war!?

I don't know. That's a darn good question, though.
