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.

Let me be one of the first to say thank you to our troops in the field. I was in the US Army for 20 years and I know it is not always enjoyable but it is always something that must be done. I appreciate all you folks out there protecting the country.

I am so glad to know that. We all wish we could do more.
Once I get names and addresses of individuals then it is almost easier to send more things. They can say specific things they would like.
My husband and I did this during the Gulf War and Kosovo and after we heard back from so many we started to send things they asked for. The connection was made I guess is what I am trying in a long way to say .
Any input you can give us will be so very much appreciated. Thanks so much for being here.

Ladies, please meet Viet Nam Veteran SGT. Wirestripper
He and I met on a thread last night were some un-American FReepers
were posting some very bad things about our country.
Sarge and I (along with many others) gave these 2 un-Americans some re-education.
