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.

The dress you have on in #62 reminds me of that line in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

May I have the next Dance?

Sock Hop #7

Oh, wow! So this is why we got the request for one of our favorite songs. "My Heart Will Go On" - I really think it's one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard sung. So, guess it's a slow dance here, huh?! My hand......here we go.

I am so jealous of your escorts. Wow.

They were just waiting outside for an invitation when I drove up and invited them in. I'm sure you've met many of them by now! :)

I'm sorry I wasn't ready when you called, Wolfie,...

Quite alright.
You have enough guys to keep you busy.
Have fun!

Sigh. Yes, but they're not the Wolf. Don't go 'way now. Don't Go Breaking My Heart. (Did we get that song listed here yet, Sam, Aquamarine?) :)

FYI - Someone thought enough of you to name their B-24 after you.

Couldn't be my Edsel. Had to sell it to pay off a very large debt.

LOL!

Fortunately, I was able to catch a ride. Not only that, I also finally found a date.

Whew! I'm so glad about your date. I was worried about you being all alone.

"Thanks Tonk for the link back to the music selection thread.
As the thread gets longer could you post it every so often?"

For your music selection just click on the pic
The music selection from post 1 will appear in a new window.
You will stay right where you are on the thread.

I'm so glad you got that long (almost) aqua gown you were coveting! That FallGuy is quite a guy to buy so many dresses for us. (And Bunny is quite a wife to allow it!) LOL!

When you get through slow dancing with Billie would you like to jitterbug with me?

The food looks wonderful - if only we girls could afford to do more than nibble. WHERE are the mu-mus?! (I can't spell that) :)

Now that you've got the catering taken care of, are you ready to enjoy the rest of the dance?
