Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

We Honor and Remember them.
In his battle with cancer, Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., said: “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.” His suffering influenced the choices he made.
In contrast, the apostle Peter wanted to motivate his readers to use their suffering to make their lives count for eternity. And he wanted Jesus’ suffering and death to inspire them to accept the spiritual conflict and persecution that would result from bearing the name of Jesus. Because they loved Jesus, suffering was going to be normative. Jesus’ suffering was to serve as motivation to give up sinful passions and to be obedient to the will of God (1 Peter 4:1-2). If their lives were going to count for eternity, they needed to stop indulging in fleeting pleasures and instead exhaust their lives on what pleased God.
Remembering that Jesus suffered and died to forgive our sins is the most important thought we have to inspire us to make godly choices today and to make our lives count for eternity.
Read: 1 Peter 4:1-8

I met a SEAL that had 9 Purple Hearts. He did not tell me. He believes in the code of silence. We need a way to honor the quiet warriors of the special forces.

In the sport's early days,
baseball umpires were unpaid volunteers.
They were often a spectator and,sometimes, a player,
chosen by the home team with the consent of the rival team’s captain.
In 1878, the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs,
organized two years earlier, mandated that home baseball teams
pay umpires $5 per game.
Sir T.O. Gimlette, a British navel surgeon,
believed that drinking straight gin
was unhealthy and impaired the efficiency (whoda thunk? LOL)
of navel officers,
so he began to dilute it with lime juice
– hence, the Gimlet.
Pigeons and hummingbirds have tiny magnetic particles
in their heads that respond to the Earth's magnetic fields
and are used for navigation.
According to a survey,
women prefer blue bedrooms more than other colors;
men are happier with white bedrooms.
(this is a fact LOL)
Just who would have been better at saving Private Ryan, eh?
Fighting alongside Americans and British
during the D-Day invasion of 1944 were 15,000 Canadians.
And it was the Canadian troops who were the first
to reach their planned objective.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
