FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before. ******** That's right - the Canteen mission Support the troops and all they do They've given up so much All for me and you There are so many here Who keep the aim sure and true They support the troops And have lots of fun too
We dance and play And spin on our toes A turn of phrase A joke or some prose All for the troops Who visit and bask Looking for a friend A break from their task So thanks to my friends You know who you are This army sister's brother Is home from the war You made my life easy You taught me some things You brought me such peace You gave me wings I'll always hold dear The ones who have cared Who gave me their true friendship Thank you FReeper Canteen.

A PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS
Today as I knelt in prayer, I asked my Holy Father for angels to guide your way, To protect you, to watch over you both night and day.
To cover you with His precious love and keep you from all harm, To light your path when the way is dark and when it's cold to keep you warm.
For you are an American soldier, defending freedom with your life, Leaving behind a family, children, a husband or a wife.
But you are a true patriot, guarding our country no matter the price, A proud American, ready to make the ultimate sacrifice.
So if you feel a gentle caress or the brush of velvet wings, You will know that angels hover over you and they were sent by the King of Kings!!
~~~~~~~~AMEN~~~~~~~~
