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.

Sparky dudes "need the electricity of life just to maintain", don't you? Mommies don't like to hear that her little boy is playing with the 110 volt extension cords, that's bad enough for them. When you play with the ones God makes that is even more exciting because He will put the water all over to make it brighter. I've heard about when lightening strikes a tree 300 feet away and bounces you up in the air. Cool, huh? I don't know about you, Sparky!

I have a friend who is warped when it comes to that kind of weather. His wife will not let him go outside during big storms because he loves the lightening and tries to tease it down. That crazy fool put up a tower on the ranch just to "Cure the weed growth". Haha haha, I think his Dad dropped him too many times when he was a kid. That stuff scares me but just interests him. WOW, are you that bad?

I also never asked anyone not to post their pictures

"I will ask the moderator to pull any excessively long or slow loading posts with too many graphics or graphics too large."

Please explain what I have posted above. These are your phrases. A picture transfered to a computer disc becomes a graphic, as is computer text.

What causes slow loading is when a computer must draw information through numerous servers. A printed page with no attached link or URL, that has been copied and posted onto a website uses no outside servers to maintain it's presence. A picture or graphic that is stored in another website and must be brought from that website to be viewed is using other servers to reach the FR.com server. This is what causes slow loading.

When you yelled about my post of the General McArthur article, I was offended because he was a prime figure during the WWII and the Korean War. I posted it because no one else had posted anything about the General. If you look at the bottom of my post you will see I included the website where I retrieved the information from to prevent the other server interference.

So, Yes some days the Canteen does operate slower than other days but my understanding is that the Canteen is supposed to be a place where veterans can remember our history and hang around telling war stories to each other in the company of women. If you wish, I will never post again in YOUR Canteen, for fear that what I am posting might slow down your computer. Just say the word, Ma'am and I'll disappear from sight.

I will be happy to explain what you posted above. In quotes, I did not say you could never post your graphics again. Did you notice the exact words were "excessively long or slow loading posts with too many graphics or graphics too large"?

I didn't ask you to leave - that's up to you. I do ask you not to make HUGE, LONG text posts or post TOO MANY GRAPHICS in one post. We have been through this before, B4.

I hope and pray that the media will begin to show the images again to the nation

You're welcome, and thanks ladyinred.

I'm afraid the media only covers what they determine to be 'news,' so I don't think we'll be seeing many pictures in the near future.......maybe September 11, 2002 will bring some memories back.

You know, they could take some of the hour after hour coverage of Robert Blake away, or even the crisis in the Catholic Church, and replace it with some reminders the attack against our freedoms. They have time......they just don't use it wisely.

We cannot forget what happened! We cannot!!
