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!

Well, personally I am the daughter and sister of Navy men! Hubby was AirForce, and my nephew was a Marine for a couple of re-enlistments, and is now in the Army. My father-in-law was in the Navy and then enlisted again into the Army. My uncle and great uncles were in the Army, and a brother-in-law just retired from the Army. Another Aunt and Uncle were in the Coast Guard. I love them all, but have to put my deepest most heart felt thoughts with the Navy because dad taught me to sing the songs as soon as I could talk!

[FallGuy]

Moral support, ok You got that right!

{grin}

I'll always remember the time you spend outside of the Canteen with Snow Bunny visiting vets, mailing packages, etc, etc.
YOU, Sir, are one of the finest Patriots that I have ever met.

[SAMWolf]

Do you have a favorite song you'd like to hear at the dance?

[FallGuy]

What a great family, that's terrific.Thanks for telling me about it.

First I signed up for the Coast Guard,but my Dad needed me to help with his business. So I stayed , then I was drafted by the Army.As I was standing in line waiting for them to call my name, they stopped right before the 'S''s.

Then they told the rest of us . Join any branch you want, our quota is filled right now.

I went back to the Coast Guard and they were closed. Headed over to the Air Force and they were closed.

Closed = not taking anymore guys

So then I went to the Navy.

LOL

I would be most pleased to dance with you. I promise this figment is light as a feather and will do no damage to your toes. You need not wear steel toes, I guarantee.

Good to see you, FallGuy. It has been quite awhile. I do try to keep up on you through secret sources, however.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I wanted to serve my country and no one had room for me,LOL"

Well I always hear what a tall guy you are. LOL

[FallGuy]

Thank you.

Bunny is our go between, I hear about you too with much joy.

[FallGuy]

hahaahahahahaha.... I laugh about it now, but I was pretty desperate that day, going from one branch to the next, LOL

[SAMWolf]

I wanted into Armor so bad I never considered anything else. I've been fascinated with tanks since I was old enough to read about them.
Imagine my disappointment when being color-blind disqualified me from Armor. Ended up in the Engineers, did about a year in Ordnance and then ended up in the Light Infantry.
Never lost my fascination with Armor though.

[senorita]

Put on your dancin' shoes! It would be my honor to dance with you!

[FallGuy]

wow memories ! Tanks and those little soldiers toys.I played for hours with those and little planes.

yeowwwwwww....plane is coming in overhead, tank is fireing.LOL

[FallGuy]

Your color blind and I have horrible hearing. You can tell me what I am not hearing and I'll let you know when the light changes. ha ha ha ha

[SAMWolf]

Everyone I knew had bags of toy soldiers. I was always Armor heavy. I had mostly tanks, At guns and halftracks and only a few soldiers. I used to kick butt. Everyone wanted me on their side.
