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.

Fabulous FRiday
FAVORITES

Tell us about your
favorite New Years Tradition(s).


KISSING
The purpose of kissing a loved one at midnight
is to bring good luck to the relationship
for the next year.


EATING
Pork is a lucky food for New Year’s day
because pigs root forward when they eat.

Southerners believe eating black-eyed peas
on New Year’s Day brings fortune,
while others believe lentil soup is lucky.


Watch The Ball Drop?
Do you go? Or watch it on television?


A TOAST?
A toast is a ritual
in which a drink is taken
as an expression of honor or goodwill.


Or do you sleep in the New Year?


How do you ring in the New Year?

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.

Glad you got at least a little snow. Icy?

Rots-aRuck to-em, I’ve been looking since the end of September. All I’ve got is empty promises.

We woke up to a little dusting of snow, but it’s melted now and the roads were just damp or completely dry. No worries...though there were 3 rollovers before dawn. People will NOT slow down! Geez!

Good evening, Canteen Ladies!

So, I’m meeting The Bride for lunch at Wendy’s the other day, and the music they’re playing is old stuff; 70’s and 80’s.

And a particular song comes up, and i ask who sang it. The Bride replied, “Rick James, I think?”

Found out it was The Gap Band, “You Dropped A Bomb on Me”...

Hi, Hunnie... (ducks)
