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.
Happy polishing, Publius.
We will be partying in the Just Hangin’ Cafe for sure. Awaiting the second half answer.
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...do you work tomorrow?
I’m hoping they let us out early...there aren’t many of us there. Most all the bosses are gone.

Interestingly, we have an article on FR now (Here) that says the doggie is too noisy for the Marines to take into combat. They've been developing the LS3 in conjunction with Google engineers, but that effort is ending now.
How nice that you added your Dad’s dog tag. Does it look much different than yours?
The heat and wind has dispatched all snow. It’s been in the high 40s and windy for almost 2 days now. Yesterday even hit 51!!
I’m not liking this as all.
We will ALWAYS remember them!
That is Super~!
That is Super~! Family is heading out at noon to the local river. It flows through a nice park with a bridge over the river.
Good evening, radu...the wind hasn’t blown you away yet?
The high winds here started about 4am. Blew over multiple trash cans on the block, including mine.
We are forever grateful for our troops and veterans.
Lots of sirens outside...hmmm.
EXHIBITION GAME
Retired Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian Canich shoots a basketball over Carlos Spence, a member of a local adaptive sports basketball team, at an exhibition game during the 2014 Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials in Norfolk, VA, June 4, 2014. About 70 seriously wounded, ill and injured sailors and Coast Guardsmen from across the country are competing for a place on Team Navy 2014.
Good evening, HJ....
I wondered how it would work in real practice....it sure is strange looking.
Thanks for the link...going to read now.
Howdy Kathy.
No wind today and it was a nice change. Been windy for a week and it’s weird not hearing it blowing outside.
Getting cold though. Winter finally decided to settle in and it hurts after the nice temps we’ve enjoyed.
If trash cans are all that blew over, be happy. The winds you were talking about last night could have made a bigger mess.
Figured out what the sirens are about?
AIR REFUELING
A B-2 Spirit from Whiteman Air Force Base, MO, performs air refueling with a KC-135 Stratotanker from Royal Air Force Mildenhall over Cornwall, England, June 11, 2014. Whiteman is participating in familiarization training operations while deployed to England.
Evening, Kathy! Happy New Year!
Good morning, Mooch...thanks and a Happy New Year to you, too. Are you staying far away from Times Square?
High winds and temps into the 40s for 2 days has melted ALL our snow. It is sad. d:o)
