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.

This popular live-action series was set on the Flying Crown Ranch in Arizona, home of wealthy pilot/rancher Schuyler J. “Sky” King, and his niece and nephew, Penny and Clipper. The trio used Sky's twin-engine Cessna, ”The Songbird,” to survey the large ranch. Up in the sky, the Kings would inadvertently stumble on a trapped neighbor or an escaped fugitive and help the good guys while stopping the bad.
Sky King was a modernized Western, an update of a genre that was quite popular at the time, with the hero flying an airplane instead of riding the usual horse. Sky also had the help of his two young sidekicks, his niece and nephew, which further added to its formula for success on Saturday mornings.
Sky King began as a popular radio show on the ABC network before finding success as a television program, one of the few shows to air on NBC, ABC, and CBS. The only original network season was the first, on NBC's Sunday evening schedule from 1951-52. These episodes were rebroadcast on ABC's Saturday morning lineup the following year, and new episodes were produced when the show went into syndication in 1955. CBS returned the property to Saturday morning for a successful run from 1959-66, consisting entirely of repeats
