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.

Every time I see my pansies

Every time I see my pansies
Vivid in the golden sun,
You are with me in my garden,
And I am once again a child.

Vivid in the golden sun,
Their beauty brings me close to tears,
And I am once again a child
Learning to assume your grace.

Their beauty brings me close to tears
As I join hands with you in love,
Learning to assume your grace,
Dancing to your inner music.

As I join hands with you in love,
You are with me in my garden,
Dancing to your inner music
Every time I see my pansies.

Good morning. I know I am supposed to be up in Oregon right now....best laid plans of bunny's and stuntmen. LOL

FallGuy and I decided to get our home here ready to sell, things like cleaning out the garage etc.And go to Oregon in June when the weather will be better for all the driving we are going to do looking around the State of Oregon.
So all is well, it is just delayed but NOT cancelled.

A few have written to me in emails asking why Oregon.

It is very strange to explain, neither FallGuy and I have been there. We have been all over the world many times, to most of the States many times but never Oregon. There is something bigger then us pulling us there and it is God. It is the strangest thing, neither of us can even remember how it came up in the conversation ,but we both have total peace about it. As though a place there is just waiting for us.
Oregon is a gorgeous State, it has the beauty of Californina in the coast line and many places to take little weekend jaunts to, as well as close to other places to visit not in the State.
The most important thing is the "being lead "part. Like when you meet a person and just know right away this person is going to be a dear friend or that person is one not to get too close to. Peace deep inside is intangable but as real as can be.And we both are looking forward to out trip to Oregon and living out the rest of our lives there.

So no trip there today but soon. June is not far off and there is much to do to here in Vegas.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
