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. |

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!!! |

Blackie has been bumping the border threads, so he's around...he also gave me a bit of a ribbing over my truck two days ago.
Seems he and E.G.C. have this thing for Fords...

It's always a pleasure to pass on your hugs. Everyone's doing well, as long as you overlook surgeries and angst. But those are things we learn from as we move on, right?
Ever hear the story of Michael, who always had a cheerful outlook on life?
He always said there're two ways of reacting to what life throws you...negatively, or positively. And it really is your choice how you react. He chose to always see things in a positive light...and was a better man for it.
I decided a long time ago to try to be like Mike.
