Tribute to Vietnam Veterans....Please click on picture
The great intangible of America's wars beyond logistics, beyond strategy, beyond wonder weapons and Generals, is the spiritual force of its fighting men and women - and that is the force that the USO so serves.

The USO Canteen FReeper Style has been given permission to have an address where you can write snail mail and or send packages to our Soldiers in TF Rakkasan.
We are proud to adopt this Sergeant Major to our FReeper Canteen
"I can not say how to get a package to the Ranger Bns, but if you want to send one any way there are some great soldiers right here in TF RAKKASAN that would enjoy the package and most of them have been rangers anyway since that is where they seem to flow to when the get to the 101st. You can use my address if you want and I will pass it out to the grunts on the line for you and damn sure let them know."
Address:

If you don't mind, I'd like to repost this, that I posted on the
Tribute to Heroes thread:
Please take a couple of minutes from your busy weekend to remember the cost of YOUR FREEDOM. Your FREEDOM was paid for in the sweat, blood and LIVES of those we honor every Memorial Day. The men and women who fought and died in defiance of tyranny, and who paid the price willingly, so that their decendants would live FREE.
You and I are their decendants, and it is not just our priviledge to honor them on Memorial Day, it is our PROUD DUTY to keep their memory alive. Because as long as just ONE person remembers their name, and their sacrifice, then they are not truly dead.
So, sometime between the barbque and the beer, or between the picnics and the trips to the mall for "Memorial Day Sales" or outings at the beach or park, take just a minute to say "Thank You" to those who will never again be able to enjoy barbque or picnics or beer or outings at the beach or park, or trips to the mall. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten!

General Hawley Speaks Out About
Post Sep-11th Idiocy (must read!)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/688093/posts
Excerpt:
Let me share this letter by General Hawley regarding moral relativism in the post-Sep 11th world.........
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard them too.
1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative."
Listen carefully. We're good, they're evil, and nothing is relative. Say it with me now and free yourselves. You see, saying "We're good" doesn't mean "we're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is Jesus.
The plain fact is that our country, with all our mistakes and blunders, has always been and always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity and affection in history. If you need proof, open all the borders on Earth and see what happens. In about half a day, the entire world would be a ghost town and the U.S. would look like one giant line to see "The Producers."
2) "Violence only leads to more violence."
This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence. Limp, panicky half-measures lead to more violence.
Complete, fully-thought-through, professional, well-executed violence never leads to more violence because afterwards the other guys are all dead. Not "on trial," not re-educated, not nurtured back into the bosom of love. Dead.
3) "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community has failed us."
For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for not protecting us. Starting in the late 1970's under Jimmy Carter appointee Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy satellites. After all, they reasoned, you can see a license plate from 200 miles away.
This is very helpful if you've been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans.
When we bought our spy satellites, we fired our humans, and here's the really stupid part. It takes years to infiltrate new humans into the worst places in the world. You just can't have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul and say, "Hiya, boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin Landen fella."

U.S. Memorial Day, May 30
"Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day.
No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day."

Cowboys and Europeans
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/688634/posts
Excerpt:
Alas, the Europeans haven't grasped that in America only college professors and actors consider "cowboy" an insult. Thus Susan Sarandon achieved honorary European status for remarks earlier this month, when she summed up terrorism and the U.S. response as follows: "When you have a guy who thinks the best act is to blow himself up, along with others, you have to ask, 'What leads to that?' And is the response more violence? A cowboy shoot-'em-up?"
Note to Ms. Sarandon: Rent "High Noon" and get back to us after you see how Grace Kelly resolves that particular issue......
The last American president our European cousins liked to call a cowboy was Ronald Reagan--when he deployed the Euromissiles, when he bombed Libya, when he called the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire." So it shouldn't bother a man from Texas to find the Euro-set calling him a cowboy: He's wearing the white hat.
I'm rather fond of this one myself..........
