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.

Retreat
A bugle call sounded when the U. S. flag is being lowered at the end of the day. |

Retriever
A special tank designed as a sort of "wrecker" for tanks. What they are able to do is almost a miracle. |

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. |

Today's Field Trip: NAS Souda Bay
If you have a suggestion for a Field Trip - maybe a place where YOU have been stationed and would like to re-visit - PLEASE Freepmail it to starcmc!! Thanks!

a Please remember: the Canteen is a place to honor and entertain our troops. As such we attempt to keep it MOSTLY apolitical. Thanks for playing and have a nice day! LOL!!! |

And...since when is you're not figuring out a wardrobe a new story! LOL! Totally new set of issues now...you know how bruises get some really awesome blues/purples/yellows in them after they're about a week old?
When's the last time you bought clothes to match that?

Gas prices are so high that when Lady Jag pulled into a gas station and asked for 2 dollars worth, the attendant dabbed some behind her ears. ~~~~~~~~~~ tomkow pulled into a full service gas station today and asked for five dollars worth of gas.
The guy farted, took his five and walked away.
ROFL!!

Advice from the fashion expert...go with black. It goes with everything and is always in fashion! See...that was easy.
Sorry 'bout those ole nasty bruises..but they'll be gone soon and she'll look good as new...maybe better! (((hugs)))

Right, I can't trust mine, either, and some people don't understand and blame me, of all people!
Then there's the cats - they know keyboard shortcuts I've never heard of and, with those paws of theirs, can create loads of trouble for moi!

Nana's staying indoors for now, so soft sweatpants and a t-shirt are just the ticket...as are house dresses.
She has denim dresses she wears out, and the Ace bandage will cover the bruising quite nicely!
