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 actually had one person ( she's not worth naming) tell me that the guys are a bunch of 'pansies' for playing with dolls, and the women are 'silly minded' to be going along with it. LOL
Funny thing, though....I gave her one and she uses it all the time. Go figure.Well this comment ought to be good for another scathing email! LOL!
Lordy! I hope not! I wouldn't put anything past her, though. LOL
We obviously have fun being pansies and silly minded - 400+ posts (as Tonk pointed out) in less than 12 hours
ain't too shabby for a thread that's not about flaming!
Yeah, and some guys I never dreamed of being "pansies"- showed up too. And some of them are her 'friends'. Wonder if she knows? LOL
I like the cowgirl best, too. : )
Well, maybe I can put her on one of those horses you sent!
The white one - no, the white one's yours - I'll take the quarterhorse!
Oh, what you said! That should get YOU a scathing letter. LOL
To: ST.LOUIE1
Oh! Sorry, Diver, I didn't mean to knock you out in the first three seconds. : (LOL. Which way did he go - Which way did he go?
You're not going to win any popularity contests around here hitting an "old veteran." :^)
To: SassyMom; The Thin Man; Snow Bunny; Mama_Bear
Shhh, I didn't give him the receipts - he thinks Snow Bunny had all the sales tickets. You got a lipstick with yours? Waaahhh! All I got was a perfume sampler.....Lumières d'Issey, Issey Miyake's new summer fragrance.

...all with the click of a button. *giggle*And you're as cute as a button. Click away! : )
To: Mama_Bear
Thank you Louie! That dress is the perfect color for me. I look like a debutante. :-)Are you booked for the prom yet?
I'm asking. : )
To: Billie
Thanks, Billie
I read the e-mails and my eyes were pretty misty by the time I finished. It is so great that our military can come to the Canteen and know that their country supports them.
We pray for their safe return to their families.
God Bless and Protect our Military
God Bless America.

Wouldn't it be kewl if we had Star Trek transporters - with a 'Beam Me Up' Command
be propelled to all the places and things we'd like to 'see?' !!
We could stop and visit with our Freeper Friends at will.
Hmmmmm - - would there be Cyber Travel Crashes?!! LOL

C'mon now, you know you took a 'dive' just to make me look good. : )
To: SAMWolf; Snow Bunny
I'll never understand how they convinced men to go to war in those things. Give your FIL a big "Well Done" from an old Grunt.
I'll be sure to give him your greetings and thanks. He's enjoying the stuff we are showing him on the internet, and he's going to love the responses here at the Canteen.
Another one of his "War Stories" he has told us over the years is that he had a friend take the swimming test for him to get into sub service. He never did learn to swim. LOL

Give you FIL a BIGGGGGG (((HUG))) for me and tell him THANK YOU!!!!!!!
To: ST.LOUIE1

:-( Someday, you will let me drive your 'vette, I am sure of it. :-)
Now, I really, really have to get off this computer. Give Mitsy a BIG smooooooch for me (and one for Grady too). ((((((TTYL))))))
To: ST.LOUIE1
C'mon now, you know you took a 'dive' just to make me look good. : )LOL. Yeah, you're right.
You need all the help you can get. :^)
This is turning into the early days of the Canteen, huh?
