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!

I just looked at your updated FR profile AND your personal home page.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
"You are a true American Heroine."
And
"The Guardian Angel of Vets, especially Viet Nam era Vets."
God Bless You

I do not much about dogwoods...I dream of my pines and redwoods in lieu of sajauros.

Thanks very much for that. I enjoyed it all.

I have redwoods right outside my bedroom window. I love them, especially right after a rain. Awwwwwwwwww........

Thank you so much Whoever, this is so good.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Tonkin. ((( hug )))

I wanted to ask you, do they have those little Coasties for people to buy?

THe reason I ask is....giggle... ok I watch this show on PBS called Theodore Tug boat. I love it ! It is such a cute show for kids, but I am a big kid so it is perfect for me.

Coastie is on the same thing as so cute and I saw they had one with kids on the Coast Guard threads. heh heh....So I was just curious if they little ones.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Angelique. Where I grew up in Illinois. We had lots of pine trees , dogwood trees oh so many beautiful trees.

As a child I used to play among the Pine trees with my cousins and friends. We had such fun.

Thank you for the link.

Hi gang! I haven't been around much because my PC is sick with a virus my hubby picked up off a newsgroup he subscribes to. I'm borrowing his laptop so I can have my FReep fix! It's not as easy to type on it as 'my' PC and it's slooooooooow using a modem rather than my DSL. (whine...) PC is at the repair shop getting the data recovered, then I'll have to erase the hard disk and re-load all our software and data files. Yippee!

Spookie & SM - how cool that you were able to meet and spend the day! I'm hoping to meet some freepers in my area soon. I enjoyed reading about your visit and seeing the great pix!

Bunny - great USCG & Auxillary tribute thread! You do great work!

viligantcitizen - You and I are virtually neighbors! I'm in Fayetteville which is not far from Douglasville! Congrats on your upcoming wedding.

All - greetings! I'll correspond more when I'm able to use my PC.

[Snow Bunny]

Redwoods, how beautiful.I am so looking forward to being in a place that is REAL and not sand and cement. To feel at home again and not a visitor.It is like my soul needs the green and trees and nature around me.

[Snow Bunny]

HI AFVetGal, so good to see you. I have a computer that has its own personality. Some programs it just will not let me download or it says I am going to crash on you and see how you like it pal, hahaha...

Sure is good to see you.

[Angelique]

I do love the Redwoods so. I think of our troops missing such wonders of home....maybe we should send some leaves, pinecones, and other such reminders.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Yes, we are neighbors.

I'm bout ready to do some active freeping here in Georgia. We need to do our part.

And to you, and all you other vet freeperettes out there, thanks for your service to your country.

I went to bootcamp in Orlando Fla, where the Navy sent ladies to do bootcamp. Our sister company did everything we did.

I feel you lady vets don't get the recognition you deserve.

[whoever]

..It is like my soul needs the green and trees and nature around me. ..

Please keep this in mind later, Snow Bunny.

I know just what you mean.

[whoever]

I am sorry to hear about your puter problems. They are about the worst thing that can happen to us.

Guess we should learn to keep a spare around just in case....

You will have fun restoring your data. Hurry back to us. We miss you.

[Snow Bunny]

(smiling) I sure will.

Merci beaucoup de tout mon couer. I saw this ad for Bob Hope the other day, and I swear you were there.
