FReeper Canteen~Happy Thanksgiving~26 Nov 09
Thank you Troops, Vets, Allies & Military Families! | The Canteen Crew

Posted on 11/25/2009 6:00:15 PM PST by AZamericonnie

The Canteen table is set so everyone gather round & share your Thanksgiving memories, what you are thankful for, recipes, menus etc & don't forget.....the first one up from the table does the dishes!:)

THANKSGIVING IS....

Thanksgiving is a
time of gratitude to God,
our Creator and Provider,
whose guidance and care
go before us...
and whose love
is with us forever.

Thanksgiving is a time
to reflect on the changes,
to remember that we, too,
grow and change
from one season of life to another.

Thanksgiving is a time
of changing seasons,
when leaves turn golden
in Autumn's wake
and apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.

Let us remember the true meaning
of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty
of Autumn, let us acknowledge
the many blessings
which are ours...
let us think of our families
and friends..
and let us give thanks in our hearts.

As we spend this holiday with our family & friends we send special thanks to our men & women in the armed forces, past & present for the freedoms we enjoy due to your service & sacrifice!

WELCOME TO

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our AWESOME Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. Lovely layout as usual.
LOL at the turkey cartoon.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today.....Areas of dense morning fog. A mix of clouds and sun. High 59F. Winds light and variable.

~ Tonight..... Cloudy with occasional rain showers. Low 39F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

It sure is foggy here this morning. It's going to be tough going for those starting their drive early. So, be careful out there.

At least it'll warm up some.

There are so many things I am thankful for. The # 1 being - Thankful for God's protection and many blessings. Then, my family, my health, FRiends, and of course, the wonderful troops for stepping up to the plate and doing what needs to be done. Knowing they are keeping watch allows me and my family to sit down to dinner in peace.

Remember, the Canteen is

Take a moment out of your day to stop in a give thanks to our troops. And, don't forget our Allies. It's great to have them in our corner.

REMEMBER THEM ....

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

Hi E.G.C. :)
60 degrees is great! Excellent you have lights up now! I hope my Hubby and son get the lights up over the weekend for me. :) Maybe.....I can convince them tomorrow. ;) I tried last year and it was too difficult for me with some parts of it.

Wishing all at the E.G.C. house Thanksgiving Blessings. :) I hope you enjoy your day!
