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.

Along with Armor, the Army Air Corps in WWII is an interest of mine.
Love the B-17 and would give almost anything to be able to fly in one.

My late Father was an Instructor for B-24's and later B-29's. He helped setup the B-24 School at the Pueblo Airfield. That was where he met Mother.

You know that the B-24 was just the box they shipped the B-17 in, right?

Good chance your dream could come true... There are B17s that "fly in" to the Oshkosh (WI) EAA Air Show every summer... and some that take tours. The EAA, I'm sure, has a website.. and lots more information. One of the biggest airshows in the COUNTRY. At the EAA, you'll see about everything that flew during WWII, including "FiFi", the only B29 still flying... lotsa warbirds.... of every size and shape. Good luck.... and Thanks.

We have one that flies into the Hillsboro Air Show every year.
Just can't convince the wife that it's worth the $300 price for a ride, I always have to settle for the $10 walkthrough.
