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

Hiya Conor...not a bad day overall...and you?

Lots of remembrance but we here remember everyday don’t we. *Hugs*

[ConorMacNessa]

Doing great, thanks - just back home after another long day at work. I'm mellowing out with a nice Irish whiskey. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, j_tull....it is a good verse.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sarge...you are accounted for....looks like you will be getting some wet from Ike. Any issues foreseen?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job, especially as slow as FR is tonight. Everything is taking FOREVER!!!

[luvie]

Hope it stays that way for you!

I am having a good evening. I was off today! Yay!

My brother had to evacuate his home in Seabrook because of
Ike, and now he said in a call that they might get quite
a storm surge at his house. He’s staying with family in
north Houston.

Prayers for everyone in that area!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Seceding, at times, interests me. d:o)

Good evening, Radix, and thanks for the links to added information.

So, is Brady lost for the season?

Good evening, Luv...heading for home. This slowness is sooo annoying, especially with so much to read and respond to...
