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!

Darn it Bunny, I got sumthin’ in my eyes now . . .

My late uncle (1920-1998), was in Medical School when WWII broke out. He enlisted in the Navy and finished Med. school with the Navy footing the bill. On graduation he was sent to basic training and a short Officer’s School then into the Pacific Theater as a field surgeon. He served in China and on some of the contested islands in the Pacific with the Marines. I am not sure which ones because he would never talk about those times. The only thing he would say was that on one island the sand crabs were so bad that you could not sleep without being bitten. To the day he died he could not eat crabs.

I miss the old buzzard.

Thank You for this tribute to those who risk their lives to save their fellow Brothers. And let us not forget the nurses who have comforted those in their final moments. My heart is sad reading this thread, but at the same time honored to be able to help pay tribute to these men and women.

Bump to that Tonkin. My respect grows and grows the more I read of the men and women in our military.

Thanks for the PING!

I really appreciate all the work you do on these threads! One minor complaint however; I think if you change the format to be "ALL NAVY...ALL THE TIME!" you would have a better thread. (That's not to take anything away from the lesser services, mind you...) LOL!

Thanks again, Shipmate!

Bump to All the Troops!

[Snow Bunny]

Aren't these fantastic works of art showing the medic's . Wow Sam, they are so well done. Thank you so much.

[Snow Bunny]

I thought so too, it does look like Henry Fonda.
