On this late Sunday evening, I have to take a moment and pay tribute to friends - the present, the absent, and the departed.
Over the years, the Canteen has been a place of meeting for such as I: bored troops, people trying to connect with loved ones back home, good folks just wanting to make a difference.
YOU have made a difference. Brian led the charge by created and keeping this virtual home a decent place to be, but never forget a moment your own contributions.
Each of you have mattered to me, and the men under my charge both stateside and overseas. You reached out to my family and my company, and no mere words can express how much a part you all have been. But without Brian, we never would have.
You continue to be a star to steer by, even today.
Thank you. One and all.
God bless you, dear friend and honorable knight!

Thank you, Sarge, for the heartfelt and meaningful words. I am sure that Brian has read your words and is smiling.
Old Sarge,
Lets just keep the place going.
We are all in this together.
P.S. Lets try to keep the FR Canteen going as well. It is also a worthy endeavor.
:)
TY 4 your Service!
