U.S. Special Forces Aid Dying Afghan Boy

"We don't understand Americans," Ahmad said before departing. "We have yet to understand how compassionate Americans are -- how they want to help the Afghan people. When I go back, I'm sure to call my village together and tell them how they are here to help and [that] we should openly embrace them."

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. I wasreading that story about the sick Afghan boy and, Yeah, I know they are different than us, but all I could think when I read what the boy's father said (“We don’t understand Americans,” Ahmad said before departing. “We have yet to understand how compassionate Americans are -- how they want to help the Afghan people.) was DUH! We've been in their country protecting them for how many years now? Well, I say thank God that we've convinced one more person over there.

Sad news for Jaweed. I pray for peace of spirit and mercy for him.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....A mix of clouds and sun. High 83F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight....Partly cloudy. Low 63F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like we're going to have more normal temps - 80s - next week but with a chance of rain most days.

Wow! This must be a first for a very long time. I logged onto FR-Canteen and there wasn't 200 posts yet.

Time for me 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

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

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
