"I appreciate that all of you here treat us with nothing but respect. I feel like a queen when I come into the Canteen. You guys are the BEST and I love you for it! You all are true GENTLEMEN!"

Ditto to that! :-)
Our canteen guys are REAL men, and they are very much appreciated. (((((hugs all around)))))

"Our canteen guys are REAL men,"

Thank you, Mama Bear and Sassy!
We guys who visit the Canteen have seen some hard knocks in life and learned how to come out on the other side as better people for having been there.
We also recognize the ladies as kindred spirits who embrace the same ideals as we do - love of God, country and family.
It's not a matter of age; it's a matter of maturity.
