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.

Yeah.
I noticed she's been missing.
But I don't recall ever hearing why she's missing.
Hopefully she's just 'slightly busy' and has time to check in with us.

The last time I talked to her, she said she needed time to sort through some personal issues. She's here with us, just lurking in the periphery
