USO Canteen Freeper Style...Friday 04-12-02

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.

Dern, Meek. We live in the woods, but we aren't rednecks. LOL

LOL! I couldn't help that. A young lady that used to work for me was from Oklahoma (now lives in Mesquite)
used to go on about the nicknames Bubba & Sissy. It grated on her, but she always brought up "Bubba & Sissy"..........
:O)

It would be wonderful to think we could have the Tree of Freedom without the spilling of blood. Is there never an end to our losses?

NOPE, Freedom is NOT FREE MSIT, unfortunately...and I thank Almighty God for the Veterans and those serving now and protecting us....

In clear English, Nitro - your 'semi-depressed state' might be what SpookBrat has!
She is about to move from Texas to Florida, and her husband has been there - returning tonight to fetch the family and haul anchor!

"OK guys, you can knock that off RIGHT NOW, I feel strength returning after that....."

All right, Jack...I will ease up.
Want me to hand you the three Marine cadence calling tapes I bought at Parris Island?!!

THEY will get your juices flowing and your butt out of bed - up and at 'em!
Why, I play them as soon as my feet hit the floor and sail through housework in 10 minutes flat so I can be HERE the next 20 hours!
Really will inspire you..:)))
