Happy New Year to the Canteen!

And Kathy, thank you for the many welcomes you have sent me over the years when I have posted to the Canteen. My service was long ago, and those in uniform today shame me in their superior service to this great Nation. They are the heroes.

As are you for your dedication to them every week. I salute you.

God Bless, and may you have many happy returns!
