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.

As the rain cleared, and the sun began to rise, Key peered through the lifting darkness anxious to see if the flag they had seen the night before was still flying. And so it was that he scribbled on the back of an envelope the first lines of a poem he called Defense of Fort M'Henry

Seriously. I am no hunter and Tx sucks for hunting anyway.

Arkansas and Oklahoma and By Golly Tx are however great fishin spots

[NYTexan]

Seems like Gunner and crew are legendary for it. Spose I’ll have ta hike it some to see fer myself.

[mylife]

Wild Hog Hunting is popular here. But there aint no public land in Tx.

You have to “buy” a land lease

[mylife]

Well, They are the folks to ask.

[NYTexan]

Not sure ‘bout that, think they just know where ta go!
