FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
Remember the Good Old Days? Sock Hops? Drive-in Movies? Buddy Holly? Or other things that made it Fabulous? You know, before cellphones? Come on in and share your memories. Or take a trip back in time.
Tonight well check out 1952. Despite the war in Korea Americans considered themselves to be prospering with average worker earning $3,400 per year, a college teacher could expect to earn $5,100 per year.
Three out of 5 families owned a car, 2 out of 3 families now had a telephone, 1 in 3 homes had a television. Average Cost of new house $9.050.00 Average wages per year $3,850.00 Average Cost of a new car $1,700.00 Fast Food restaurants were growing in popularity, Many more cars in America were now fitted with automatic gearboxes and gas cost 25 cents per gallon. the scourge of Polio hit many thousands of families ( 50,000 estimated )
Number One Hit March 9 May 10 1952 ~ Kay Starr - Wheel of Fortune ~ (click graphic) Arrowhead was born
Remember, the Canteen is a family friendly place. We welcome the military, our allies, and their families. Continued prayers for the success and completion of your mission. Prayers for your safe return home.

I was in kindergarten and (heaven forbid) walked to school! Just under a mile. No matter what the weather...lol. I used to walk to school when I first started, too. I had 2 older sisters and we'd walk close to a mile to school. And we spent more time outside than in!

Just think...
If it hadn’t been a leap year, 3/15/12 would have fallen upon a WEDNESDAY instead of a Thursday.
Wednesday is my MOST unpleasant day of the week.
Thursday is my nicest.
Go figure!

An Arab enters a taxi cab in Dallas, Texas..........
Once he is seated, he asks the cab driver to turn off the radio because he must not hear music as decreed by his religion and, in the time of the prophet, there was no music, especially Western music, which is music of the infidel’s and certainly no radio ........
So the cab driver politely switches off the radio, pulls over to the side of the road, stops the cab, and opens the back door.
The Arab asks him: What are you doing man?
The Texan answers: In the time of the prophet there were no taxis. So get your ass out and wait for a camel.
You gotta love Texans!
