FReeper Canteen ~ Remembering Our Troops!! ~ 23 January 2014

Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

[Publius]

I’m in a little Revolutionary War fishing village on the coast midway between Savannah and Jacksonville. The nearest traffic lights are 15 miles south of me, 40 miles north and 35 miles west.

[left that other site]

You have some really nice ones (which I swipe occasionally...:-) )

[TASMANIANRED]

This is the coldest I’ve seen it in many years.

We have been sub 0 several times.

I can’t wait for spring.

[TASMANIANRED]

How is your shoulder doing?

[TASMANIANRED]

You make it sound cozy.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening, ElKabong, Hugs

[Publius]

This little Georgia town is wonderfully cozy and quiet, with very little crime. The only problem in the summer is the humidity and the mosquitos.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good evening LUV and (((HUGS))). We made the very best pork roast BBQ ever on my pit today. Didn’t even need a knife to cut it and it was so juicy.

[ConorMacNessa]

My only knowledge of that area is driving through it . When I moved to Florida in 1975, I-95 ended, IIRC, at or slightly before Savannah and we were diverted to US 17, which led through a lot of swampy areas around Brunswick. A much different drive today. A Revolutionary War fishing village sounds interesting.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

I’m a few blocks off US 17. The old rice plantations are south of me, and one is a state historical site. With I-95 finished in the 80’s, it’s an easy drive to Savannah if I want to do mall shopping.

[TASMANIANRED]

Have they taken you in?

Have you developed a taste for grits yet?

What about waffles and fried chicken?

[ConorMacNessa]

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening -

For Every Morn' Brings Forth A Noble Chance,
And Every Chance Demands A Noble Knight!

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!



Standing With Them:

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

[Kathy in Alaska]

G’Day, Janey...((HUGS))...double digits is a start. It’s sprinkling here and mid 30s. Yuck!!

Stay safe.

[Publius]

I enjoy the southern food. But I’ve been on a strict diet since July to peel off some excess pounds. I’ve dropped about 20, and I still have some more to go.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Made it safely home on sloppy, sloppy wet roads.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[TASMANIANRED]

Night Mac

[TASMANIANRED]

You can lose weight on a southern diet.

Cooked greens 3 times a day. Fried chicken on Sunday.

[TASMANIANRED]

Incomprehensible. Warmer in Alaska than it is in the south.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Taz...((HUGS))...good evening. You can send our cold back any time. It’s mid 30s and sprinkling right now. Are the girls staying warm?

Are most folks being respectful of the cold?

Main roads are ice free and sloppy wet. Neighborhoods and driveways, mine included, are all ice! I decided it was too dangerous to even put the trash barrel out. It can wait another week.

[luvie]

Thank you....and I’m glad you can use them. :)
