Good morning Troops! Thank You for your service.
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.
Honoring Military Women. Click here.
Welcome to the home of the skeptical, irascible, doubting, iconoclastic Captain Critical, aka Captain Barb, whose pontificating will try to amuse, bemuse, irritate and generally annoy anyone bold enough to stay long enough to read the ramblings of a self appointed distaff critic who will continue to remind you that women are veterans too! Did you know that there are almost two million women veterans? From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq , women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand of them. On these pages you will find the history and accomplishments of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since it's beginning.
Please remember the Canteen is cyber Home to our Troops. Check your politics at the door. Don't forget to hit hyper link for more information. Thanks to all who enter this Canteen to Honor our Military.

Thanks, SF.
My mother served in the Marines, WWII. As a girl from a traditional Jewish family, she was way ahead of her time.

Looks like you are keeping your hands warm....we are looking at snow tomorrow tonight (they say possible in the day, for sure at night). I will believe it when I see it. Today has been a zoo....Tuesdays have become one of the busiest days.

I am afraid that when they reach Meghan's age, anything you tell them or help them with will be held against you at any given moment. LOL!
All you can do is plant seeds with them and hope that they will think about what you say somewhere down the road.
You are a good father, and I have no doubt that all your daughters will survive...and you will, too.
