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.

President George W. Bush Addresses Voice of America 60th Anniversary Commemoration:

"...Sixty years ago, only 79 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the first Voice of America broadcast across the Atlantic into Nazi Germany, with these words: Here speaks a voice from America. We shall tell you the truth. For decades, the Voice of America has told the world the truth about America and our policies. Through a world war and a cold war, in crisis and in calm, the Voice of America has added to the momentum of freedom. And now, in a new conflict, I'm proud to say that the Voice of America still speaks strongly and clearly.
...The Voice of America broadcasts in 53 languages, to nearly every country on Earth,
reaching an audience of over 90 million listeners..."

The other day I was in the local auto part store. A lady comes in and asks for a seven ten cap. We all look at each other and ask, "What's a seven ten cap?"

She says, "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one."

"What kind of a car is it?" they ask. Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she says that it's a Buick.

"Okay, Lady, how big is it?" She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

"What does it do?" we ask.

She says, "I don't know, but it's always been there."

One of us gives her a note pad and asks her if she can draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710.

The guys behind the counter are looking at it upside down as she writes it...and they just fall down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics. One guy says, "I think you want an oil cap."

She says, "Seven Ten cap, oil cap, I don't care what you call it. I just need one, and I don't see what is so darn funny about it." If you read "710" upside down, it spells OIL!

Things in S. AZ are great today! A comfortable 72 degrees, clear sunny sky, you know, just like that song about the deer and antelope...!!

Which is fine with me, 'cause we almost had snow at the house two nights ago! The snow level was supposed to drop down to 4500', and that would have nailed us, but instead it only came down to about 6500'. It dusted the tops of the Huachucas, and settled the dust elsewhere!

OBTW, the Oversite Fire is finally under control. It started on 2/29, burned 2800 acres of designated wilderness, and was contained on 3/11. As near as they can tell, 'undocumented immigrants' let a campfire get out of control with disastrous results. Grrrrr... ;^(
