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.

#155 is great. Nostalgic pics make me so nostalgic. LOL! 40s romantic comedies, Norman Rockwell, Mr. Peanut, Dean Martin. And cowboys do have excellent taste. (^:

Saw your show Dec 1972 in Singapore on the Carrier Midway CVA-41. You had Roman Gabriel and a not so good juggler with you. You told a joke about shark fin soup. You asked for more ... the waiter looked at your nose and said you had enough.

Thanks for the memories Bob

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.

I have saved it too! And "Dittos" from Rowlett, Texas!

Thought you might like to see this picture. It is of entertainers on Fiji during World War II - from a scrapbook sent to my mother by one of her boyfriends. I'm in the process of scanning the entire scrapbook. I'll let you know when it's done.

Hi, Wheeler - we do have fun here every single day, and love to see all of you whenever you can pop in for a bite to eat, a game of gin rummy, a dance, a beer, or just to "sit a spell"!

I hope you found those links I sent you (via good friend, Louie) helpful!

[clamper1797]

If you were with Bob on the USS Midway show Dec 72 in Singapore harbor ... I probably have a photo of you as I sat 2 rows back from the front and took lots a pics. Especially of pretty ladies ... like you. BTW the shark fin soup joke was told by Bob. Also Bob and his wife finished the show by singing "White Christmas" and had us all join in.

I pray daily for our military. Have a grand-niece (yea, i'm THAT old) in the Air Force over THERE, She flies fighter,cargo transport and refuelling jets. After reading the thread about women in the military yesterday,I just can't imagine her being shot down and captured.

[Snow Bunny]
