SOUP FOR THE TROOPS
WELCOME TO THE

Lafayette was a major general in the United States
at the age of 19. Lafayette's whole name
takes up an entire line on a page:
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette.
In England, the most commonly used guide dog
for the blind is the Yellow Labrador Retriever.
Montgomery Ward was the first to advertise
"Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back"
in 1874 two years after Aaron Montgomery Ward
launched his first mail-order catalog.
The bulbs and leaves of the daffodil
contain poisonous crystals which only a select few insects
can eat without suffering an agonizing death.
While squirrels and other rodents won't eat them,
they may dig up the bulbs.
It's been documented that locusts
have formed swarms measuring up to
one mile wide, 100 feet deep, and 50 miles long.
They may travel more than 2,000 miles.
A swarm this enormous has been known to contain
as many as 40 billion locusts.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Gonna make my rounds before everyone shows up
and wants something.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Dear Patriot,
Dear Sweet Lady.
Dear fellow American. You make me hungry by all those sandwiches and grieve when other times. You give us pride all the time. and I’m just a retired civilian.
The power and majesty of what still IS is being erroded in our face. This is not the time for me to advise you in any way.
I can go thru and delete or not the unique photos and the enduring need to support Our Troops. I do what I can and do not require reminding.
The irony is that if you become tired or disappear, it will be another signal of the collapse the 0ic has orchestrated.
what else can i say now? We are fighting internally as if the wars were already lost. Politics caused that.
