CANTEEN.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Now THAT is what makes one a hero.
Excuse me while I get on my soap box.

What John R. Fox did is what makes one a hero.
Knowing the dangers, but still going anyway.
Not movie stars or football players or musicians...
UNLESS they too have run into
a burning building
jumped in a raging river
jumped out of a helo
to save someone else.
I'm tired of people who use the word Hero so lightly these days.
It's taking away from those who really are.
That is all (stepping down).

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today... Overcast in the morning,
then mostly cloudy with thunderstorms and rain showers.
Fog early. High of 77F.
Winds from the SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy with a chance of rain.
Fog overnight. Low of 66F.
Winds less than 5 mph. Chance of rain 20%.

Oh great! I can tell it's Monday.
Computer or network or something
is already giving me problems.
It may take all morning to post this thing.

We did get some much needed rain yesterday.
And it's a chilly morning
but I'm going out for a walk since it's not raining at the moment.

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

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.

Hiya Beachie!!

Bleech, just can't wake-up this morning; short weekend and too much to do at work.

I agree with you regarding the "Hero" usage, way too over used.

Two weeks til school starts, hope we're ready!

Better scoot, have a mahvelous day!

Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

How are you doing this morning? Looks like our last day of tolerable weather - back into the blast furnace tomorrow!


America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

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)
