Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
How about a donut?
Coffee is always on........


Or a sandwich?


A very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

BTTT
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...still dodging the bad weather?

Thanks, Mayor, for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
It’s all move away from us.
Good night.
Good.....you have some really severe weather. I’m off for some sleep.


(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Sarge, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.
My three-year-old granddaughter has actually started watching this movie. I have to smile at her because when the parts get scary for her she walks into another room.

DC Metroland weather report
~ Today.....Mostly cloudy skies with a few showers this afternoon. High 76F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%.

IT'S

I say that what better day to have a round of Trivia than this. Yes, calm down, I know you're excited because it has been soooooo long since we've done any trivia, but HEY! I've been busy (hehe). So without further ado here's some Wiz of Oz trivia

The title role was written with W.C. Fields in mind. Producer Mervyn LeRoy wanted Ed Wynn, who turned down the role. MGM executive Arthur Freed wanted Fields, and offered him $75,000. Fields supposedly wanted $100,000. According to a letter from Fields' agent (which he claimed was written by Fields) Fields turned down the role to devote his time to writing the script for You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939).
Now, if you're very, very good I'll post some more trivia, a little later.
Right now, I need another cup of coffee and to make my rounds. 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!
And, for the rest of you ..

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

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

((HUGS))Morning, Beach. How’s it going?
Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Not much happening here yet. I’ve been kind of shocked with the traffic the last few days. I was wondering if every-other-brother has taken off this week since traffic has been kind of light in the mornings. I wish it was that way every morning.
Whatz going on with you today?

Good morning, hon

Ray Bolger was originally cast as the Tin Woodsman.
However, he insisted that he would rather play the Scarecrow - his childhood idol, Fred Stone had originated that role on stage in 1902.
Good Morning E.G.C. :)
Hugs!
