Are you ready for the Tuesday
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Another fine example of the good we do but few ever hear:
On 12 January 2010, just hours after the 2010 Haiti earthquake,
Carl Vinson was ordered to redirect from her current deployment
in the North Atlantic Ocean to Haiti to contribute to the relief effort
as part of Operation Unified Response.
... The ships arrived off Port au Prince
on 15 January 2010 to commence operations.
CNN medical correspondent and neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta,
pediatric surgeon Henri Ford, and two Navy doctors
removed a piece of concrete from the skull
of a 12-year-old earthquake victim in an operation
performed aboard Carl Vinson on 18 January.
In addition to providing medical relief,
CVN-70's excess desalination capacity was critical
to providing water to Haiti's population during
the earthquake relief.
DC Metroland Weather
~ Today...Mostly cloudy skies this morning
will become partly cloudy this afternoon.
High around 60F. Winds light and variable.
~ Tonight...Cloudy skies. Low 48F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
We're having a heat wave! And tomorrow is near 70.
And thunderstorms!
To bad the warmer temps won't going to last. Cooler by the weekend.
Superbowl is Sunday. Need to figure what we'll have for dinner.
Plus, I'm guessing I won't be able to stay up
late enough to see the end, which bites.Will DVR it though.
Gotta get my morning hellos in before the gang arrives.
Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
