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.

Good Morning Everyone!
I just wanted to say good morning to all of our troops out there fighting for my freedom and my safety. We have had a REALLY fun week here in the Canteen, but I want you to know that while we were having fun YOU ALL were in our hearts and minds. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL for what you are doing and for the sacrifices you are making. My prayers are with you! GOD BLESS YOU!
Now for all of the veterans! Words cannot express what I feel for you. You are the best of the best. THANK YOU for what you have done for me and all of our country. You have given so much and received so little in return. I appreciate you and thank you for keeping us free! GOD BLESS YOU!

Good morning, everyone!!
My Internet connection was down all day yesterday, and I discovered how much work I can do when my computer is down.
I may have to start paying Starband to sabotage the server about once a month so that I can get some work done!
LOL!
No.....that's too often......I'll make it once every six months!
See youse guys later!
Have a great day!

I'm a Viet Nam Vet. I'm sympathetic to the military. But please stop flagging me with photographs etc. They clutter up my page and take forever to load.
Thank you.
To: Joe 6-pack

Morning Cob! Thanks for the ping! My server has been going through some growing pains too. It has been up and down for the last couple of weeks, but I have been assured the problem is now fixed! Let's hope so! Nothing worse then being disconnected just as I am about to say something really "deep"......lmao!
Check your freepmail....
