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 afternoon, everyone!

I'm late as usual, but I had to wade through the carnage on yesterday's thread before I could get here.
When I saw that LadyX had donned her camos and full battle gear I knew there was going to be mayhem on the battlefield!

MedProf, we need you here when your mother gets her dander up!
Thanks for coming, and WELCOME!

And a big WELCOME to you, McCloud-Strife!

You both are now among the best of the best on FR!

I met a farmer once who had a pig with a wooden leg. Strangest thing I ever saw so I asked him, how come your pig has a wooden leg? He said, "this is one smart pig. One day I was plowing the field and my tractor went into a rut and turned over, pinning be beneath it. My pig had been following behind me rooting for some last kernels of corn. When the tractor turned over on me, he ran up to the house and squeeled and screamed and made such a rucous that my wife realized something was wrong and went out to see what all the commotion was about.

The pig led her right to me and she got some help and pulled me out from under the tractor and got me to the doctor promptly. My leg was squashed but the doctor was able to fix it up because I was only pinned down for a short time, thanks to my very smart pig. The doctor said if I hadn't gotten help right away, I would have lost my leg because the circulation had been cut off from the weight of the tractor. What a lucky man I am to have such a wonderful pig.

I said to the man, "That's a great story but you still haven't told me why he has a wooden leg". The farmer replied, "well a pig that good, you don't eat him all at once". ;>)
