The problem of feeding an armed force engaged in combat, whether in alien or in home areas, has occupied the attention of military leaders since the beginning of organized warfare. Leaders learned that the ability of men to fight was related to the way they were fed and that the answer to the feeding problem often determined victory or defeat. The axiom that an army travels on its stomach is as good today as it has ever been, only now that classical stomach rides in airplanes, ships, tanks, submarines, and jeeps in every terrain and climate of the world. But there is no question that the problems of the army stomach have entered the age of specialization. This fact is increasingly evident as the story of army subsistence unfolds from the early simplicity to the contemporary complexity of the military feeding program.

The earliest rations of the United States Army were all-inclusive in purpose. For more than a century after 1776, the basis of all troop feeding--for soldiers in camp, on the march, in action, or just surviving--was the simple fare of meat and bread, and sometimes vegetables, known as the garrison ration. From the Revolutionary War to World War I, the garrison ration served the unit, the small group, and the individual. Moreover, it was intended to serve them in organized messes, in isolated groups, and in individual situations of combat and survival.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ms. Feather, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today..... Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Southeast winds around 5 mph...becoming west this afternoon. ~ Tonight.... Mostly cloudy in the evening...then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like just the right thread to post some recipes. I'll go shopping to see what I can find.

But, right now, it's time for me to make my rounds. I've got reports to get to and need to say my howdy's first. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Yeah, a pretty busy day for me. But I'm going to try to sneak in the Canteen as much as possible. I do have to run an errand later today and it will give me a chance to walk since it'll be a tad warmer today.

Hope you have a good time while you're in town today. Doing some shopping?

[beachn4fun]

WOW!

Good morning and ((HUGS)) Meg.

Temps here are going near 50 today so I plan on getting out for a quick walk. I see that the cherry blooms outside my window are trying to open up. I'm with you....I think spring is just around the corner! Yippeeeee.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A man who thinks he's George Washington has been seeing a psychiatrist.He finishes up one session by telling him, "Tomorrow, we'll cross the Delaware and surprise them when they least expect it."

As soon as he's gone, the psychiatrist picks up the phone and says, 
"King George, this is Benedict Arnold. I have the plans."

[MEG33]

I would love to see the cherry trees in bloom.

I am glad you have a more moderate day ahead!

[E.G.C.]

We're going to stop by the garden place and get some seeds for Chuck's garden.

On the way home we'll get some chicken from the grocery store for supper.

((HUGS))Good morning, MEG33. How's it going?
