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 are such good pictures. God bless our soldiers.
You would have had a good chuckle at my home as a kid. All my Uncles served in various branches.Marines, Navy, Air Force and Army. The Army and Marines outnumbered the others so before the dinner when all the relatives were over ,l and during and afterward..LOL they would always kid each other which branch was better. They truly knew it took all branches but it was so cute how they would kid around with one another.
Thanks again for the pictures Sam.
To: LadyX
I'm sure you understood my jesting before Oh, absolutely LadyX. I just felt bad they didn't show.

Grunts.net Recommends... A Young American Hero is the title of a recently published biography about Staff Sergeant Hammett Lee Bowen, Jr., Medal Of Honor. Sergeant Bowen served in Vietnam with C Company, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army. He was killed in action on 27 June 1969, when his platoon was ambushed at a place known as the Spiderweb. His heroic actions that day were above and beyond the call of duty.
This highly researched, authorized biography....or Email USAEAGLE@iopener.net
Hello everyone. I have dislocated my shoulder, and havr been unablie to write, until today, but I certainly enjoyed your efforts. Everyday, I read this thread, and it is so chocked full of ideas for emails. Tonk, I always pick your mail first, because you have the most difficult name.
To: Angelique
..I have dislocated my shoulder,..
That is very painful. My sympathies,,,if I were a certain former executive, I might even say, "I feel your pain". But, my sympathies and prayers will have to suffice for now.
Please, take care and rest it.
