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.

Gosh, I think I'm going to be jealous. LOL! What are we talking about - the little slightly transparent "Louie" on the gif? Geez, I quit putting those on mine after the first dozen or so! See,Vick? Now you've gone and made Billie jealous. I've had enough of jealous women. : (
Actually, Victoria - I tried to get Louie to do it (know he can because he's put my name on some of them - he just won't do a Louie signature thingie) :)
It's very easy - go HERE and you can add it really easily! I promise!
I won't do a Louie signature thingie because I don't know how. Not the kind you and Mama_Bear have.
To: SAMWolf
LOL!

"Tora!Tora!Tora!"
April '69 we were making our return trip to Norflok VA.
We entered Pearl Harbor at sunrise, on the far side of the island to off load ammo.
Now remember this is before cable TV or the internet.
As we are docking at the pier we look up and see Zeros flying overhead.
The entire crew, including the Captain, was "stunned."
We had just finished our time in war, were we in the Twilight Zone?
Someone on the pier realized what was going on and shouted they were filming a movie. LOL
Yep, it was Tora, Tora, Tora
To: Victoria Delsoul
See,Vick? Now you've gone and made Billie jealous.
I've had enough of jealous women. : (Oh no! LOL!! Sorry, it's all in good fun.
Phoooooie!
Does this mean you're not gonna hug and kiss on me anymore? : (
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub
I remember you telling this story once before. And you were coming in on a tin can...
can you imagine the surprise if your Captain had called General Quarters and engaged the 'enemy'?
Man, there would've been Hell to pay any way you looked at it!
Everyone's lucky nothing serious happened besides a few sets of soiled skivvies, perhaps?

MAN! Not sure the champagne would do the trick. He's sounding awfully grumpy. You'd think we broke the bank or something - he can always plant another tree - geez! What's a few thousand dollars compared to the smiles on our faces with our new clothes.
