USO Canteen Freeper Style 11-16-01

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.

Army-Navy only needs a few votes to beat out Nebraska-Oklahoma as the best all-time college football rivalry.
(BTW - I have no connection at all with Tostitos or ESPN.)

I too was in front of the mirror, like Louie..he recoils in horror, while I, though, bask in the glow of my reflection.Speaking of reflections, I'm in tails and top hat, with my dancing pumps on, all set to go cheek to cheek...its early, but I could have danced all night....

I'm working on my new routine called the Ramadama-Ding-Dong, like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain...

HUGS!

Who was that guy? January 13, 1966.

If I had known then what I know now!

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
[Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]

SOMEday my ship will come and Lonnie will be on it. :^)

Let's hope so for your sake.

It's got to be a real bummer with Louie. All he wants to do is position himself in front of a mirror and blow kisses to himself.

I did THREE "Boys of FR" series - the first one was "Hat Tricks"

The second was the Boys in Black (picture link in earlier post), and the third in the series was the Calendar for 2002.

I'll tell my boss Billie says it's ok to stay home and play on FR, she shouldn't have a problem with that.

If you need me to write her a note, just let me know. :^)

I'm assuming your daughter was not hurt, by the calm, matter-of-fact way you wrote that you were just taking care of the paperwork involving the accident.

Mornin' Billie. Where's Narcissus - oops, I mean Louie - this morning.
Hey Narcissus, if you can tear yourself away from the mirror for a while, join us in the Canteen.

Etymology: Latin, from Greek Narkissos 1 : capitalized :A beautiful youth...
.. in Greek mythology who pines away for love of his own reflection...

and is then turned into the narcissus flower.

At least, I'm a flower.

You're nothing but a weed in my garden.

I cannot laugh at your jokes about Louie ever again. (He didn't speak to me for, oh, MINUTES, after you called him a flea last time) Of course you're not that way, but some Pretty Boys get their feelings hurt so easily, and I can't stand to see anyone cry. :^)
