USO Canteen Freeper Style 10-24-01

Posted on 10/24/2001 8:37:37 AM PDT by Billie


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.

Thanks, WIMom - that darn geocities graphic's not going to post for us though! We'll have to try and copy the url and paste it in our browsers to see it.

Here's a cute Halloween graphic, and you MUST be sure to check out ST.LOUIE1's profile page for some great Halloween fun.

G'mornin', Mom....your picture isn't showing up on my 'puter. I want to see it....is it scary? A picture of Algore in his beard, right? Or Tipper dancing in that hideous tie-dye shirt? Now THAT would be scary!

It's lunch time here. How about just a tray of cold cuts, cheese and pickles? It's hot and humid again here...not enough energy for more than making iced tea. I can't believe we're all digging out our shorts and t-shirts again. C'mon cool weather!

When I posted it, it was fine. When I went to reload, pfft, gone! Must be a ghostly spooky spirit taking control. Actually, it was Hillary and Carvelle in their famous roles as classic stars from "The Wizzard of OZ", The Wicked Witch of the West and The Flying Monkey. If anyone can post it again, that would be great. My graphic talents extend to <img scr=""> only. ;o)

It's lonely here today. Where have all the fly boys gone? And the torch singers? And the dancers? And the barkeep? And the Volunteer Cooks?

Thanks for including The Guild's CARE Package on your links. We are working on our Christmas Package now. If anyone would like to make or buy a stocking for the troops, please contact me or come to the Guild.

This is a great project for your kids.

Billie, don't be lonely. Lots of us are preparing for a huge storm and need to take cover.
