	Welcome to the Canteen Music Dedication. Each week we bring our troops, their families, and friends a variety of music. We appreciate any and all feedback. If you have any music requests, please FReepmail, email, or post on the thread any requests. We will try to acommodate as many as possible. We hope you like the new layout of the Canteen Music Dedication. We try to provide a variety of songs for everyone to listen to. If you aren't sure about an artist, please avoid clicking the album cover. We try to give you as many musical choices as possible. There are some songs that are highly offensive. If you choose to click on them and are offended, please keep in mind that we have already warned you. So? Please choose carefully. Thank You!   CURRENT MUSIC  (Includes Rap, Alternative, and Radio Playlist songs!)   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Nelly Furtado spent 8 summers working as a chamber maid. *Nick Cannon has a show on Nickelodeon *Ludacris was a DJ in Atlanta.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Kelis dated P.Diddy after his break-up with J-Lo *White Stripes were named after the red and white stripes in the peppermint candy motif. *Young Gunz record for Jay Z's label.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Sean Paul played water polo for the Jamaican national team. *Before she was a superstar, Christina Aguilera was a military brat. *Pink's brother is currently serving in Iraq.       ALL ABOUT COUNTRY MUSIC       BETH'S MUSIC MIX (music selection)   Just A Thought As much as I'd like to believe that I'm as hip as Beth and MoJo, I'm not. So? If you look over the Current Music (MoJo's section) and Beth's Music Mix and you find that this isn't your style of music, please go to the music below. The kids don't want to offend anyone and begged me to tell all of you. So? For the sake of your eardrums and mine, please don't complain if you listen to music that is not intended for the "distinguished" members of our society. That would be all of you in my generation. (MoJo and Beth would consider us "old", but we all know better.)---DJ Ma   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Axl Rose, Guns N Roses lead, used to teach Sunday School. *Brad Nowell, late lead singer of Sublime, formed his first band at the age of 13. The name of the band? Hogan's Heroes.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, met Joe Perry at an ice cream parlor called The Anchorage. The rest is history. *The band decided on the name Aerosmith because it was the only name they didn't hate. *In 1988, Steven Tyler hurt himself while performing in Anchorage, Alaska. (Hello Ma!) *Steven Tyler is the father of actress Liv Tyler. Check back next week for a full list from DJ Beth.       MUSIC MIX (contains a variety of music)   Thank you for joining us today. Thank you to our troops, their families, and friends! Disclaimer: Music tidbits can be found at www.artistdirect.com or elsewhere on the web. This music is provided as merely entertainment and for nothing else. Special Thanks To Auntie Fawn for doing a wonderful job with our Canteen Music Logo and background. Her efforts are greatly appreciated.

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

You think you're hot?
Our military forces in Iraq sweat it out in 130 degree heat everyday!

Cool Our Troops is a non-profit effort to 'Cool' our troops in Iraq. They are raising funds to send personal misters to 50,000 military personnel serving in Iraq. The misters are portable, no batteries or electricity required, and rely on evaporation to cool surrounding temperatures by 20-30 degrees.

Access the Wounded Heroes Guestbook to write a message of encouragement for a hero wounded in the line of duty.   Messages in the Wounded Heroes Guestbook are viewed by wounded soldiers, their loved ones, and the general public.
