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.
Read: Proverbs 22:1-5
Visitors to a zoo were outraged when the African lion started barking instead of roaring. Zoo staff said they had disguised a Tibetan mastiffa very large dogas a lion because they could not afford the real thing. Needless to say, the zoos reputation was sullied and people will think twice before visiting it.
Reputation is fragile; once its damaged, its hard to restore. It is not uncommon to sacrifice a good reputation on the altar of power, prestige, or profit. This too could be our story. Scripture encourages us: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches (Prov. 22:1). God is telling us that true value must be placed not in what we have but in who we are.
Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates said, The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. As followers of Jesus, we bear His name. Because of His love for us, we strive to walk worthy of Him, reflecting His likeness in our words and deeds.
When we fail, He picks us up again by His love. By our example, others around us will be led to praise the God who has redeemed and transformed us (Matt. 5:16)for the name of the Lord is worthy of glory, honor, and all praise.
Good lovin by the rascals.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
Remember them in Your Prayers.

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.
Thank you for your dedication to the FR Canteen.
Had to make a quick stop in to see what our heroes have been up to.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
OPEN
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
