FReeper Canteen ~ Military Short Speak ~ May 15, 2006

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.

You're welcome! What looks like silliness to some is important to others. I know -- it was that kind of stuff that helped me through my brother's deployment. I am so grateful for the chance to give back! *HUGS!*

Help! A couple of weeks ago, I was in the Canteen on a Music night. Someone (I don't remember who) posted music with an INCOMING! photo that was cute and hysterical. I thought I had saved a copy of it, but I can't find the file. Can anyone give me a link to a post with the pic?

Thanks.
