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!

I love this graphic lowbridge. How neat !!!!!!

[Billie]

Yes - TGIF! I hope that FR has had it's last little down/slow period now. If it's frustrating for us, imagine how it must be for Jim and John!

[Snow Bunny]

Billie what a wonderful picture post #1 and what it says, I like it so much.

I love the cooking you and Granny do and enjoyed my breakfast.

I have a Mexican craving today. So I will make some chicken chimichungas for lunch and serve them with refried beans.

[Snow Bunny]

Good morning Teacup. It is a beautiful fall day here, hope you have a great day.

[Billie]

Good morning - loving that coffee cake with my 3rd cup of coffee, mountaineer.

Here's a graphic I think everyone will enjoy. I believe the graphic artist said that he printed several on business size cards and handed them out to all policemen and firemen he would see during the day.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning everyone. :-)

A big THANK YOU to our military forces. God bless you all.

[Billie]

Hello, FRiends - really nice to see you here this morning! Hope you had some breakfast, some coffee, and some of mountaineer's delish coffee cake to top it off. :^)

Tea, your husband can STILL send me a photo, please?

[Billie]

Thanks, JL - we never hear anything about the Pentagon anymore, and it's good to be reminded of the work that goes on there, even behind the scenes.

This graphic is large, but I reduced it considerably. I think it's wonderful.

[Billie]

Hey, wake up and smell the coffee, sleepyhead. :^)

[Snow Bunny]

Billie # 27 is so good. I love it.

Daisyscarlett, Mexican food is soooo good. FallGuy and I fill up on chips and salsa before our food even arrives, giggle.

[Billie]

I spent some time while FR was down, looking for some new graphics, and saved several to post here. I liked that one and the message a lot. Tried to save a lot of the smaller ones that I didn't have to reduce myself, but the "Names" graphic I posted a few minutes ago is still very large. It's just such a wonderful graphic (to me), that it can't be reduced very much or the names are completely lost.

[Snow Bunny]

Big smile on my face.....this is wonderful Billie. I am so glad you do things like this post # 37 now and in the past too so we can have them on here. How wonderful.

Taxman,blackbag and Norb2569 you all look so great !!!!!
