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. |
retro retrofit REU remote emitter unit Reveille
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. |

At my end of the state we have had a light dusting, that's it.
If the ground wasn't so wet I would have ran the lawn tractor across the grass.
It's 29 and windy.. Maybe snow tomorrow? they don't know.

Hello Luv -
Don't want to complain so I'll give the short & sweet:
Home stretch of the move - next weekend is it
I caught a cold
Husband feels guilty that I'm doing all the home stuff so he was on a tear today before his drive back
Tension is running a bit high
However, we will get through! We always do.

Thanks! Hubby said there was an uproarious cheer when the wheels of the plane touched down. There were about 600 soldiers on the plane, all from the Afghanistan theater. There are 599 other happy families tonight!

You have green grass under the snow? Wow. Well, stay warm this week. You had 29 degrees...we had a high of 80 today. However, it's supposed to "only" get into the 50's tomorrow. Poor us, huh? ;o)
