SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities

The 113th Wing provides air sovereignty forces
to defend the nation's capital

Oh yeah! I bet
these guys are the ones that took off on 9/11.

~ Today... Sunny this morning...
Then partly sunny with scattered showers
with isolated thunderstorms this afternoon.
Highs in the upper 70s. West winds around 5 mph.
Chance of rain 30 percent.

~ Tonight... Mostly cloudy with scattered showers
with isolated thunderstorms in the evening...
Then partly cloudy after midnight.
Lows in the upper 50s. West winds around 5 mph.
Chance of rain 30 percent.

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...

The first actress known to wear trousers was Sarah Bernhardt in 1876.

Gene Wilder made his film debut in a small, but memorable, role
as a hostage in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde.

(ah...anyone remember him there?)

Murderer John Horwood was hanged on April 13, 1821.
His skin was used to bind a book describing
the dissection of his body by surgeon Richard Smith.

(Ga-ross...yuk)(hmm...they had murders back then? I thought it was pretty lawless)

Giant hornet workers capture a variety of insects,
including bees and yellowjackets, to feed their young.
Workers strip back bark from shrubs – a favorite is lilac.
As they girdle the branches, they lick the sap from the torn edge.

Golf was banned in England and Scotland
in 1457 by King James II because he claimed
it distracted people from the archery practice necessary for national defense.

(ha! I bet it was because everyone beat him...hehe)

Still trying to catch up.
Got meeting with bossman this morning,
so of course it'll be another quick post and run.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

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.
