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!

Gourmet grits are all the rage these days. Sorta like Italian polenta. Emeril even serves grits in some of his fancy restaurant. It seems to go especially well with shrimp or seafood.

On the left is shrimp and grits, on the right is encrusted lobster with grits. On the bottom are Vidalia onions. They should be coming to market soon. Can't wait. Love those sweet onions from Georgia...

[Snow Bunny]

This is a wonderful quote Sassy.It is so great that they have Presidential Prayer Breakfasts.

[SAMWolf]

So I hear you're all exicited about the USO dance.

[Snow Bunny]

Sassy I have been sitting wondering the EXACT same thing. I never heard of Calf fires and Rocky mountain oysters I still do not know what that is either.

[Snow Bunny]

OH MY GOSH...Yeowie !

I think I will stick with Hamburgers and normal fries and corn on the cob.Yep.

[SAMWolf]

I knew what Rocky Mountain Oysters were, just figured that calf fries were the Texas equivalent.

[SassyMom]

I take it that SAMWolf filled you in on what they are. I'm with you I will stick to my good ol hamburgers. :)

[SassyMom]

Yes sir, I have been practicing my dance steps all day...

[blackie]

I moved here from Berkeley in 1990 and have never used chains or snow tires...
I've been buying chains for each new vehicle I've purchased since 1964 and have yet use them... :o)

[Snow Bunny]

Let's pick a day for the USO Dance. How about Next Saturday????

A BIG Saturday night dance at the USO FReeper Canteen.That way we have a week to get ready with music, pictures, music the works. giggle

I talked to Billie about it and if it is ok with all of you, we could do this next Sat.
Billie has worked so hard on such wonderful threads , the Easter thread and the Fashion Show thread.
This way we have a week to get ready and we can make the thread a party , a USO Dance party thread....all of us.

I hope you like the idea.Please let me know on here and or in emails.Thank you so much.
