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!

Welcome home, 4.. may I get you something? sandwich? hot food? cold drink? popcorn?

Beamer, Morgan and I took a long walk back into the foothills today. Found this little darling

Beamer was so good this time. He just stood and watched from a short distance. Morgan, on the other hand, ,,,,well, you know, a cat's curiosity.

Hi there Flagman. How's it going? Are you on your week-end yet?

[4TheFlag]

Some chow would be nice who, not awake yet, just woke up from a 2 hour power nap after being up 33 straight hours...I'm too old for this s**t.

Sounds like a nice walk that you all had...Beamer behaved himself??? Well heck, wonders never cease :^)Didn't encounter one of THESE

in your travels I hope....

That sounds like so much fun! And the mushrooms sound great! I sure would love to come over!!! But guess what? I get to go pick my brother up from the airport! He is coming home from the VA hospital in Palo Alto and I am really excited about seeing him!!! He has been up there a couple of weeks now.

Tell me more about the scrapbooks!

[MistyCA]

Howdy, 4! Good to see you. Saw the flatbed take the jeep away this morning, but just went down and got it from the shop and it is all better again!

[lodwick]

Thanks for your continuing service to our country, and good to meet'cha. (Snow Bunny is one of the founding hostesses of the USO Canteen. Mrs. Billie is the other.)

I know you will treat them both with the utmost of respect.

When my logo is recovered, I'll be happy to serve you your beverage of choice! Yours very truly, JL

Glad you found the Canteen and have a super evening. Stop in, when you can.

Speaking of chows and skunks, my chowchow regularly kills skunks in my backyard! It is the MOST disgusting thing!

Super job on # 322 - strong stuff. Good to see you once more defeated the beast. Believe me I know that it's a day to day battle - you think that you've done everything possible to kill it, but tomorrow, or the next day, it rises up to do battle again. lol. But true with any rental sort of property. JL

[Billie]

Coulda fooled me! LOL

It's just my silly mind. :)

Of silly minds and pansies,
And a devildoll who cries;
It's obvious the problem
Is the color of her eyes.

Thanks Jim..Good to see ya!

Yep, ANYTHING rental will beat ya to death, I'm SOOO amazed at how people disrespect others property...just cause they pay to rent they think they own it...Some of it is DISGUSTING, even for me, and I've seen it all...Jack

Have you ever tried to wash a chowchow who has been attacked by a skunk???? There is not enough tomato juice in the world to make that an easy task!

[lodwick]

...just cause they pay to rent they think they own it...Some of it is DISGUSTING, even for me, and I've seen it all...

We know what is out there, so I don't want, nor do you, to trade war stories, but if they owned it by the sweat of their own brow, they would not trash it out like we have witnessed. (Unless they are total a$$holes, of which there are plenty enough.)

Please rest well my FRiend, you've earned it, and have a super evening! JL

[whoever]

No, didn't see any skunks, but one had been around near there...keep your eyes open and your powder dry.
