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

Aloha, Hawaii....Whitney does do a very good job. How are the son and grandbabies? The plovers? Nights are dropping down into the 40s. Leaves are turning and dropping.

Gut Shabbes, Kathy.

The early 1800s was a rather exciting time in history, wasn’t it?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mooch. Did your "time off" refresh you?

[MoochPooch]

Hi, Kathy. Yeah, enjoyed my “time off.” Already, though, I miss summer.

Nighty night.

[MeekMom]

Thanks for posting the Star Spangled Banner Ma. I’ve always loved that song!
Hope you are feeling well & about to have a peaceful night’s rest!

**big hugs**

Welcome to the Canteen, JohnBovenmyer....thanks for the history lesson, and the link...good read.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, MM...((HUGS))...I've had some REALLY short nights lately. My plan is to make it to bed by midnight. That gives me a half hour. d:o) How are you doing? Weather cooling off? You feeling better?

[MeekMom]

Weather is really been lovely. I’m feelin’ so much better.
That’s a good idea to get to bed early if you can Ma.

((Hugs for tomorrow))

Not on my list of recently read books, no. There’s no FR book list, just a book club member list.

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen.
Close to 80º already and headed for upper 90s again.
Looks like Ike will miss us totally.
