WELCOME TO THE
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
I was reading the first in line, and realized
I don't remember hearing about that training accident.
Nothing on
Army Spc. Hilda I. Clayton nor...
four Afghan soldiers.
Guess they just aren't news worthy to the rest of the world.
Having said that, I try not to listen to the news much
and only check up on it online.
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.
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

I usually make something to eat after I post. That is why my later posts are much later than the first few.
