The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.

Read: Proverbs 10:17-21
Years ago an anonymous writer penned a short poem about the merits of measuring our words.
A wise old owl sat in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why cant we all be like that wise old bird?
There is a connection between wisdom and limiting what we say. Proverbs 10:19 says, In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
We are wise to be careful about what we say or how much we say in certain situations. It makes sense to guard our words when we are angry. James urged his fellow believers, Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath (James 1:19). Restraining our words can also show reverence for God. Solomon said, God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few (Eccl. 5:2). When others are grieving, our silent presence may help more than abundant expressions of sympathy: No one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great (Job 2:13).
Although there is a time to be quiet and a time to speak (Eccl. 3:7), choosing to speak less allows us to hear more.

WELCOME TO THE
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Happy Rosh Hashanah!
We're having a nice rainy day;
well, actually it started last night,
and is moving north today, but
it won't clear up until tonight.
Wish I was home to really enjoy it. hehe.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
