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!

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.

That's one of my very favorite graphics to come out of this whole horrible tragedy, too.
That and the photo of the flag-raising by the firemen,
which I used as the background of my Lady Liberty Weeps graphic.

VERY NICE! I like that one, too! (You certainly have a gift!) The service that you folks are providing here is heartwarming. We need to get the word out - about this "USO Canteen" thread - to more of our servicemen, all across the USA.

Hugh lurks here, and promotes this website FREQUENTLY - see:
HUGH HEWITT and Free Republic: How should we help him help us? [Who **IS** this guy?]

His radio show is on the air RIGHT NOW, ending his first hour - of three total.

Can YOU (or someone else who knows about this thread) CALL HIS SHOW at 1-800-520-1234 - now?

You should be able to get a good plug in for FR in general, and for THIS THREAD in particular.

Can YOU call in now? (Be sure to mention Free Republic, and the USO thread!)

I think that's me up there, dancin' with COB1,,,, it's how I hurt my back!!

[mountaineer]

The poke chops and sweet potatoes are dooo-licious, as my husband's Serbian grandmother used to say! I've brought apple crisp for dessert.

[Iowa Granny]

That's a perfect Fall Dessert. Thanks so much.

[habs4ever]

Thanks Ron...I'm listening now online...he flamed Biden beautifully, and if Biden isn't the posterboy for silliness and lightweighness in the Democratic Party, who is? He's not up to the job.

Thanks for your Freepmail...I have to go through a lot with it, but gimme time.

Hewitt is funny *AND ADULT.*

Hewitt may come off as a bit elitist and curt to some listeners.
But as you say, he does a show for folks with a bit of maturity (regardless of age).
("Small world", my sister-in-law is a Milwaukee home-girl; she and my brother
are anticipating the imminent arrival of their first child.)

Whoa! This BLOWS me away! Thanks for this post, friend!

All Americans:

Keep this picture in your mind forever and the attack on the World Trade Towers, the death of those men, women and children will stay personal forever! When you get a peacelover whining in your ear, this is the cure. Six posts from the left, in the middle of the picture you see someone holding an infant out of the building trying to give it fresh air. These folks are all dead now. Keep this atrocity personal forever! Do not listen to the whiners and weepers about the civilian casulties that our pilots accidentally cause. Remember foremost the six thousand plus civilians who died in the attack on the World Trade Center Towers. This terrorist attack was an intentional mass murder of innocent civilians. So tell Reuters or CNN can go somewhere else with their 'sad stories'!

[MeekOneGOP]

THANKS for the ping, good buddy! See my post #127 also. I am still "blown away". . .

[d14truth]

Never forget, and so far, forgiveness has not been requested by the 'Taliban Terrorists'.

[COB1]

Got it, Tonk!
Bookmarked for listening!
Thanks, parduh.

"Now, I'm betting you can cut a rug better, too!"

LOL!
Someday we're going to have to have a FReeper get together and find out!
Actually I was a stand-in for Travolta in "Saturday Night Live", but I don't think either one of us could do that anymore.
My wig would fall off, my teeth would fall out, and my Attends would get wet.

[COB1]

I saved that picture!
Everytime some peacenik posts on this forum, I'm going to post that picture!
It infuriates me that some think we should give quarter to these murders!
If I could say what I really think, I'd make a D.I.'s ears turn red.

[Iowa Granny]

You were really lucky COB1,,,, most people would have been complaining about wet DEPENDS,,,, I don't know about Attends,,, need more info on those.

[COB1]

"it's how I hurt my back!!"

When you get through with the liniment, IG, I need to borrow it.
When I was young, dancing was a prelude to something more serious.
Now if I dance, I'm not able to do the more serious things!

[esther2]

What a great thread! Thanks for the ping. I have seen it every day but never ventured here (to my great loss). I'm glad to hear that some of our uniformed personnel are looking at it, because it's plain how much we appreciate them and their hard work on our behalf. God bless America and our brave troops!!

[lodwick]

Welcome to SnowBunny's and Billie's most hospitable Canteen. Please make yourself at home: you are among friends, family, and fighting folk. Enjoy, and bring your neighbors next time.

[Iowa Granny]

THAT, my dear COB1, is exactly WHY women of my age STILL like to dance.

[lodwick]

Now THAT IS FUNNY. Have you healed? FOF!

[esther2]

Thank you! I'll have to show up in the morning sometime so I can partake of the breakfast goodies that Iowa Granny brings (post #26)!! LOL

The great folks here at FR are another reason one can be proud to be American!

[COB1]

You wouldn't have to worry about getting groped by guys like me on the dance floor.
You might have to worry about having to carry us back to our table.
