WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies
and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Making a quick stop to check out the latest.
Opened up my emails and found several monthly reports
for me to work on...you know what that means!

Sheesh! Our temps are taking a nose dive.
I know it's fall/winter
but I am so NOT ready for the cold.
Ma?? Can you please keep it up there?

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
