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.

G'mornin', Billie, and Merry Christmas to you too!
BTW-I'm still waiting for you to give me a Huey Cobra instead of that UH-1B taxi cab that I'm standing in front of. Times have changed. Update . . . please? If you can' find a Cobra then I'll "settle for" a Black Hawk. OK?

Thanks for reposting the Vets from the Vet's thread. A good idea, to post just a few at a time. More time for us to view them.
To: dansangel
Hi, dansangel! Have a safe errands-running trip. The streets are so crowded this time of the year - everywhere!

Nope, tangled with a 400 lb rock. It's where I wanted it, but it kept me from going after it's buddies.

The French Marines have finally arrived in Afghan. Not for combat but for humanitarian aide and road repair and such. All help is needed and appreciated and these men are just as brave as our Combat Marines. Just because their government...well never mind.
Here is a French Marine shaving. He looks so very ...French. I remember posting a picture of our Marines shaving and they were using the mirror of their Humvee...
But a Marine is a Marine is a Marine and I love them all (although I do think our guys seem to be in better "physical" shape, ha ha)
A French Marine prepares to shave at their camp at the airport in Mazar-e-Sharif, northern Afghanistan, Saturday Dec. 15, 2001. A group of French marines was deployed as part of a mission to help rebuild and secure the Mazar-e-Sharif airport for deliveries of humanitarian aid. A ruined Soviet built Mi-8 helicopter is in the background. (AP Photo/Maxim Marmur) - Dec 15 8:34 AM ET

YOUR post is so sweet - always enjoy seeing you here. I know it's a busy time for everyone. This time next week (Saturday and Sunday) I probably won't be online very much.
