USO Canteen Freeper Style...1st Day of Spring 03-20-02

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.

Hi, Meek. Wasn't there a similar incident last year, where an honor student (girl this time I think) was expelled and didn't get to graduate with her class because of some kind of kitchen knife or something like that she had left in her car?

As the Senate destroys our Constitution today with the Campaign Finance Reform Bill. This may be my last chance to speak with freedom, so I would like to wish everyone a Happy Spring!

Beautiful graphic, 4TheFlag!

Is there still snow on the ground up in your part of the country?

I just picked up our photos from Ground Zero. There are some good ones. When I have time (in a day or two......finals to grade), I'll try to scan them and post them.

Yummy, yummy! I love omelettes - made cheese omelettes this morning for breakfast, as a matter of fact. :) Love those spring gifs - butterfly line and the little birds are so adorable!

Great story, DL. The link has an extra double quote at the end, and isn't opening.
If y'all want to read about Harold from the 1255th Engineers and his flag, edit DL's link or click here!

It was an honors student in Florida, and the incident threatened her scholarship and attendance at Gulf States University.
The dean of admissions at GSU had to cancel her scholarship, but...
He told her to show up anyway, he'd figure out a way make up for her Principal's unbending stupidity!

Have a nice nap, Severa. It is always nice to see your cheery posts.

We have followed the USS Roosevelt from time to time here at the Canteen and quite a bit at the Guild as the Guild sent numerous care packages to them. They did a great job on their deployment and then had there deployment extended because the USS Kennedy did not pass inspection. I know you folks will give them a joyous reception on their return and look forward to your account of it.

Oh, please tell the folks on the USS Theodore Roosevelt hello and THANK YOU! Many of us on the Guild thread sent packages to them at Christmas. The packages included letters and pictures from children, Christmas stockings, socks, hats, etc. I know some people sent stuff before and after Christmas too. We are so proud of the men and women on the USS Theodore Roosevelt as well as all of the other men and women serving our country.

Thank you. I enjoyed your post too.

I'm just really on edge today waiting to see if Bush signs the CFR Bill. If he does that could change the way I look at him and really I don't want that to happen!
