The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Wow, good find Ma on Capt. Duncan! You always do the Canteen proud! Oshie was well served to give credit to our Military too, quite a modest man! BTW, I heard some part of Alaska set a new record for coldest ever with a wind chill at -97 F. Damn that Gorebull warming :-)
Football game between the combat engineers and the 82nd airborne. I showed a similar picture a few days ago in which the building roof was covered with soldiers. Eisenhower who was attending the game with Marshall Zhukov, must have thought it didn't look good as he ordered them off the roof. Photo by Charles Riddle. The game was won by the combat engineers.
OSHIE OWNS SOCHI!!!!
Read: Exodus 16:1-8
God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason,” the saying goes. The ability to listen is an essential life skill. Counselors tell us to listen to each other. Spiritual leaders tell us to listen to God. But hardly anyone says, “Listen to yourself.” I’m not suggesting that we have an inner voice that always knows the right thing to say. Nor am I saying we should listen to ourselves instead of to God and others. I’m suggesting that we need to listen to ourselves in order to learn how others might be receiving our words.
The Israelites could have used this advice when Moses was leading them out of Egypt. Within days of their miraculous deliverance, they were complaining (Ex. 16:2). Although their need for food was legitimate, their way of expressing the need was not (v.3).
Whenever we speak out of fear, anger, ignorance, or pride—even if what we say is true—those who listen will hear more than our words. They hear emotion. But they don’t know whether the emotion comes from love and concern or disdain and disrespect, so we risk misunderstanding. If we listen to ourselves before speaking out loud, we can judge our hearts before our careless words harm others or sadden our God.
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
I've been watching the Olympics, as well.
Although, I'm not a hockey fan,
I have seen some of the game with Oshie.
Star, you have a right to be proud of what he said.
I applaud him for pointing it out to the liberal media
who like to put labels on everything.
They throw the word hero around way too much.
As for Duncan...he lived in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario,
which is close enough to the USA to count. LOL
This is a quick post. I have the day off (still, which has been nice)
and will head out shortly to do some shopping.
I had to stop by for a good morning post
since it seems so long since I was here.
The good news is that we are in for a warm up. YES!
I am so ready for warm weather.
Time for me sign off and run the roads.
But Please stay around if you can
and chat with the military and/or families.
Remember, be warned...I'll be back!
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
Come on 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
