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.

A Military Thanksgiving We offer gratitude this day
For blessings multiplied,
For family, fellowship and friends
Who remain by our side
Through many separations,
And distances so vast
That lesser love would be subdued.
It's doubtful it would last.
We share these bonds of feeling
That stretch between our souls
When distance separates us
As we pursue our goals.
But you have favored us with friends,
And families that clutch
Us close although we wander
Around the globe so much.
So Lord this day we offer thanks,
And bow our heads in prayer.
We recognise that You're the source
Of all the love we share.

Yesterday's thread was very long, and I left early - just wanted to wish all of you again a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for what you add to the Canteen. Fiddlstix, thanks for all those tunes! You're all very special and you help to make the canteen so very special every day. Thank you.

Ok, you guys - I read all your posts yesterday. First, Dave, thank you for sticking up for me with Mr. People's Magazine Sexiest Man - is he getting too big for his britches or what?! :^) Susan, egads! What a picture Louie painted of me! You know that not a word of it is true, but here's just a bit of advice for you......Stay away from Louie or I'll scratch your eyes out. It's like, you know, BYOB (bring your own boy):^) :^):^)
I hope you KNOW that I'm kidding! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and I'm not kidding now. :^)

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and a special prayer of gratitude (and for protection) for our President and the troops.
To: Aeronaut
Beautiful turkey - I'm soooooo hungry and we don't eat ours until 5! (which is very early for dinner, but means lunch has to be REALLY light!)
