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.

I can't even imagine being in seas like that. Deep water is very scary to me. I give any sailors a lot of credit.

SAM! Oh my goodness!!! That second pix of the 4-ship formation with 'HL' on the tail (over what I think is the Great Salt Lake) is from my old unit the 388th Fighter Wing. Did you know that when you posted it??? Those planes are the flagships of the 3 fighter squadrons and the wing commander's jet. How cool to see them again.

On any given day, the men and women of the Coast Guard:
Conduct 109 search-and-rescue missions.
Assist 192 people in distress.
Seize 169 pounds of marijuana.
Nab 306 pounds of cocaine.
Most important, the Coast Guard saves lives.
"Ten or 12 people today will go home to dinner with their family
only because the Coast Guard got them out of trouble,"
said Adm. James Loy, commandant of the Coast Guard.
Now that's a respectable day's work.
All from a service of only 35,000 people, fewer than the New York Police Department.
And by the way, the Coast Guard is the only service in which the role of women is unrestricted.

Delighted to see you here, Angelique, and sorry about your injury.
Clicked on the link and sat here in awe - always just the right kind of message when it is needed, hm?
Thank you for the gift, my friend.
You received mine, then!
Oregon must be beautiful!
I missed it, going through Montana and down the Rockies when we drove from Fairbanks to Florida and up to Myrtle Beach, SC.
Would love to visit there one day - go through Rapid City again and visit 4 (my daughter was born there) and over to see you, Tonk and SAM.
Whoever - where art thou?!!
