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.

When you were in, did you still have those that buttoned with 13 buttons?!! Those HAD to be a hindrance..:))) No ma'am, they were never a hindrance. You just stuck your thumb in the right-hand side of the flap and pulled. All thirteen buttons would come undone at once.
We had more difficulty in removing the flat hat than the trousers.
To: American Preservative
Thank you AP ! Prayers for Ted Maher and his family .
To: COB1;Scuttlebutt;MedProf
(Cobby, it's like this - Scuttlebutt paid MedProf $50 to 'leave the dance early'..:))) I'm obligated, donchaknow?)

Thank you for thisi beautiful dress.
To: SAMWolf;Invictus
SAM!! You truly are The Man!!
Invictus can tell you that about two years ago on a thread when we were listing songs of that era we remembered, this was one of the first ones mentioned!
Of all the songs you could have chosen, you unwittingly came up with the Right One!
Bless your heart, as the Southern saying goes...:))
