FReeper Canteen ~ Military Short Speak ~ January 30, 2006
Penelope Pitstop

Posted on 01/29/2006 6:09:14 PM PST by StarCMC

 

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

********

That's right - the Canteen mission
Support the troops and all they do
They've given up so much
All for me and you

There are so many here
Who keep the aim sure and true
They support the troops
And have lots of fun too

We dance and play
And spin on our toes
A turn of phrase
A joke or some prose

All for the troops
Who visit and  bask
Looking for a friend
A break from their task

So thanks to my friends
You know who you are
This army sister's brother
Is home from the war

You made my life easy
You taught me some things
You brought me such peace
You gave me wings

I'll always hold dear
The ones who have cared
Who gave me their true friendship
Thank you FReeper Canteen.

If a Marine requests mast to the CMC he or she had better have a good reason.  More here!

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

Ms Feather was walking down the street one day & saw TomKow walking towards her.
TomKow was talking to himself, waving his arms around his head and jumping up and down three times. He repeated this several times.
Ms Feather asked the TomKow what he was doing?
TomKow replied "I am keeping the pink elephants away."
Ms Feather replied, "Why? There are no pink elephants around here."
TomKow replied, "I know, works great doesn't it?"

Good morning, Tom!

Quick note to let everyone know we're going in now. Nana's in good spirits and is very calm...she's more worried about how her replacement is going to do her job than she is about the new knee!

I'll check in later, mid-day, with news.
