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!

Oh, Mr. Tonk, the bouquet's beauty takes my breath away.

Thank you, over and over again.

I also was the guy who would go find things when they couldn't be gotten.
One of my "usual tactics" was to go aboard some air craft carrier in port.
Then "get supplies" and disappear back to my Destroyer.
The Weapons Officer used to give me a 2 day liberty upon my return.
But he also warned me if I ever got caught, I was on my own. LOL

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Billie, I am so glad you like the black one especially.

FallGuy had fun too picking out outfits he liked.

Only that one night when the dresses went Poof we laughed so hard our eyes had tears in them.There was no warning or anything.

Thank you for that very special tribute to Martha Raye.

She was a very special woman who spent most of her life in a very special way.

Thank you.

Hey Brother!
Looks like a Marine is "working" the dance floor now. LOL

[Victoria Delsoul]

Lovely flowers Tonk, thank you. And the music is great, too.

Please save a dance for me.

For sure.

[Scuttlebutt]

[Snow Bunny]

..They just don't write good songs anymore... like in the forties and fifties.) ..

I will say a sentimental AMEN to that, but sadly so.

[Snow Bunny]

Ssme ruled applied in my Unit.

Even got a replacement 3/4 ton dodge that one of our LT's had stolen in Bien Hoa. Had help with that one but the LT would have been in big trouble if the CO knew he hadn't locked up the vehicle. He was a popular LT in the Company so we "covered" for him, a few unit markings changed, some paperwork at the motor pool misplaced and viola we found the truck. I've always wondered what happened later when they finally got around to checking actual serial numbers.

It's amazing how much "stuff" we found laying around the airstrip in Phouc Vinh, those Air Force guys weren't real careful on gurading their "stuff".

Ah the good old days!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Howdy, Cob!

Have ya got a dance left for an old Gyrene??

Yes, indeed!

[SAMWolf]

Thanks who for reminding me about Martha.

[COB1]
