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 signal to awaken, get out of bed and begin the day. Often a bugle call, in boot camp more often the yells and screams of Drill Instructors and the sounds of GI cans crashing to the deck. |

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities. I think it's too quiet in the Canteen. Let's do reveille
OK, UP AND AT 'EM. LET ME HEAR THOSE FEET HITTING THE FLOOR. I WANNA HEAR THE SOUND OF THOSE COMPUTER WARMING UP. I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
This week in DC Metroland, we are back to fall like weather. Chilly. Over the weekend we had a heck of a thunderstorm pass through.
Congrats to the Steelers for stealing winning the Super Bowl.
To all newbies and lurkers
Now, I've got to make my rounds and see whatz been happenin' while I was MIA.
But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
