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.

You're typing pretty well, 'ccording to what I've seen so far!
I've gotta echo what MSIT said, you're really one heck of a great guy for the support you give to Snow Bunny...and all the good she does for our men and women deployed around the world. You two are a very special couple!

LOL! There you go, LadyX...volunteering me for the wild side! That was no straw! That, dear LadyX, was a buffalo hair that I snatched off one of those buffalo in Yellowstone Park! But I know the best way to get our dances is to just slither on up to old Cob He will be letting all the air out of Mabel on purpose, and will send that little SweetPea packin'!

Hey, Magoo, you got it!!
'Cept I'm not into the threesome thing.
The Toad Hop is such a sweet sentimental dance it should be shared with someone you love under a starlit sky.
It makes it more romantic if you can both croak a lot, too!

LOL - I've driven through those herds of buffalo in Custer State Park...too dumb to move out of the way of a vehicle!

The burros on the road were a Public Nuisance, sticking their heads into the car windows to mooch food.
One day we watched a poor girl in her convertible with the top down immobilized by being surrounded by some.
The only escape was the arrival of another car - and thus new target.

"He will be letting all the air out of Mabel on purpose,"

Now you gone and done it!
Sweetpea didn't know anything about Mabel!
My gosh, there's going to be a catfight around my house tonight!
And poor Mabel is just recovering from that awful puncture wound, too....patches haven't even dried yet!

Let me see what I can get planned, FallGuy.
It would be great to see you guys again before you leave, and this time to actually have time to talk for awhile!
Besides that I made a mistake and washed my arms tonight for the first time since I hugged Snow Bunny.
Shucks!

Some of us (no names mentioned) are still trying to catch up to the other two.

Good job by Mr_Magoo and Aquamarine, I'm sort of providing backup.

They only had to deal with one tornado on the whole trip. Sheesh, that must have been boring.
