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!

G'morning Tonk. Fresh Hot coffee on tap. Pancakes and sausage will be ready in about an hour.

Goodmorning Iowa Granny!!! Can I have another cup of coffee please???? I'm having trouble getting my eyes to open this morning and I have a lot to accomplish today. :)

[SassyMom]

Looks like Tonkin has provided you with a new logo for your business cards. Congratulations! Salute.

[Iowa Granny]

Hi Louie! Can you mind the kitchen while I go outside for awhile? It's such a lovely day here,, and winter could arrive at any momment this time of year. I've got a few little jobs to do out there,,, I think I can manage them if I go slowly and use my cane.

I'm sort of running out of different ideas for the menu. Think I'll do the beef and noodles thing at noon today,, a nice green salad and homemade bread. Apple cobbler for dessert. I'll start serving at 11:30 am.

Maybe now I can just be my 'real' self.

I was getting very confused trying to keep up with 'Lt. Louie' and 'The Wolf'. LOL

Thanks.

Good to have you back. Not much coffee and breakfast made while you were gone.

I was watching Larry King is Alive after the President's speech and he had Chris Matthews and Bob Schiffer on and they were discussing VP Cheney. Evidently, the VP took a couple of days off last week to go hunting. So LK was asking the boys if this was okay, for him to take the time off and go hunting. Well, Mr. Schiffer said, and I am paraphrasing but you will get the drift "I don't have a problem with that, when the pheasant are running or whatever they do I suppose you have to hunt them". Can you imagine anyone being that stupid. Guess he just wanted to convey that he is not a hunter so has no idea what that culture is like. Grr.....

But now that we have discussed pheasants, did your hunters bring home enough so that you can prepare some for the canteen?

Gosh, Granny, I can't. I'm going to be busy for awhile.

If you go out-be very very careful. Don't want anything happening to one of my favorite people.

Sounds great!

But don't bother....take a day off.

I'll have today's meals catered. How's that? : )

" Well, Mr. Schiffer said, and I am paraphrasing but you will get the drift "I don't have a problem with that, when the pheasant are running or whatever they do I suppose you have to hunt them".

ROFL,,, this Schiffer fella is quite a sportsman,,,,, imagine the skill needed to shoot a running pheasant???? Pheasants can't run very fast,, their legs are short. Since I don't hunt myself, I'm not certain, but I would think my resident hunters would consider it unethical to shoot a pheasant that wasn't flying.

We had a miserable winter last year, with deep snow cover that arrived early and stayed late. Many pheasant didn't make it thru the winter,, then we had a nasty, cold, wet May,,, the spring hatch was very small. We aren't seeing nearly as many birds as we have in past years. 5 years ago, in the fall when I would take meals to the field when they were harvesting, I would literally have to slow down for the pheasants crossing the road. Not any more,,, they are few and far between.

The canteen will have to eat Turkey rather than pheasant this year.

LOL! This is the 'Louie' that I know - and who could be afraid of him? :-)

Sweet and lovable and just a little "lost".

You're very wise, 'fuzzy'.

I'm not a 'Saint'.

I'm not a 'Wolf'.

I'm going back to who I really am.....

'Louiebear'.

Thank you for this. : )

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you for this. : )

You're welcome. It was my pleasure to bring you back to your senses.

Since this is yesterday's thread, most people won't get to see the real Louie, but I know who he is.
