Hi, you two, welcome aboard! Tonk is probably at work now...I 'spect Kathy and bentfeather are 'moderating' the Canteen this time of day. All that really means is that they're the hostesses for visitors right now. If I don't hurry, they're going to have your question answered before I do!

We have a new thread daily; some are dedicated like the "Pray for President Bush" thread each Sunday and others are just going to open with whatever Tonkin feels like putting up. You'll notice today has military humor as a general theme.

Each day we take some time to pass on a message of support to our veterans, active duty personnel, and their families. Some of us spend hours on end in the Canteen, and others just post once. Whichever you do doesn't matter, it's getting the message out to those we support that matters!

Have fun, and we look forward to seeing more of you!

Hi Tom and Lily, HiJinx said it real well. The Canteen is a place where any and all can gather each day to honor our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies. Tonkin starts a new thread each day and all who wish to encourage our troops are welcome to bring them a joke, a prayer, a word of encouragement, or just the news of the day. We know that active duty military are able to lurk here, and enjoy hearing about life at home. They are able to come to the Canteen and feel like it is a "home away from home", a pleasant time away for the jobs they do in protecting all of us back home.

Please join all those who enter the Canteen to honor our troops. Thanks HJ. Gotta get back to work.
