WELCOME TO THE

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to

our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Making a quick stop to check out the latest.

I'm thinking summer even though
it was 13 this morning and
today will only get to 18-ish.
Crazy ass weather.
Now that's all I'm going to say about it
cause I know our northern FRiends
are worse off...well...
except for Ma in AK.

The FR Canteen is

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.

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
