[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

On the eve of Thanksging we paused to remember those who are overseas.
Many of our service men and women will be spending their 1st Thanksgiving
away from home, family and friends.
Today military stationed in the continental United States will be celebrating Thanksgiving.
It is because of their devotion to duty, honor and country
that we will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR FRIENDS IN CANADA

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Happy Thanksgiving, Chap Grant. May God bless you and your family, today and all days.

[southerngrit]

Good morning. I'm on my way out the door to begin my trek to Grandma's house to celebrate yet another wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. I couldn't leave without extending best wishes to you all for this day.

We are blessed, indeed to live in such a great country. I give thanks on this day, as well as every day for the freedoms I enjoy.

Military lurkers, veterans, families:

You will all be in my thoughts today. Thank you for protecting my loved ones and for all the sacrifices each of you have made that enable me to make this trip in safety. I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

May God bless you all and keep you safe.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

[missycocopuffs]

I have not popped in here in a while, but I thought I'd drop by to extend my most sincere thanks to our military brothers and sisters who sacrifice daily to protect these United States.

I get misty when I think of those who, serving to protect me and mine, are spending their Thanksgiving away from their friends and families. May God's blessings come back to you a hundred fold.

Canteeners, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,
Maureen (who has much to be thankful for)

P.S. Tonk, thanks for keeping the Canteen open! Fabu job!

Good morning & Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

[Soaring Feather]

Happy Thanksgiving back!

[Soaring Feather]

Good Morning to you!

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men
and
one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so
they
decided that one has to drop off. Otherwise they are all going
to fall.

They were not able to choose that person, but then the woman
made a
very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go
of the
rope, because as a woman she was used to giving up everything
for
her husband and kids, and for men in general, without ever
getting
anything in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping
their hands...

Just a reminder:

Military Lurkers:

Quoting Tonk:

Feel free to e-mail me at  seaside611@hotmail.com with your ideas about what you would like to see in the Canteen.

 

As several others have said,

This CANTEEN is FOR our Veterans; moreover, THIS CANTEEN IS FOR OUR TROOPS!

  A reminder to Canteen Crew NOT to post any responses they get UNLESS the person asked them to.

Good morning, Tonk! Good morning, EVERYBODY!

Good Morning, TROOPS!

Illustration.

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho
Falls Science Fair, April 26. In his project he urged people to sign a
petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical
"dihydrogen monoxide." And for plenty of good reasons, since:

1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting.

2. It is a major component in acid rain.

3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.

4. Accidental inhalation can kill you.

5. It contributes to erosion.

6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.

7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.

Forty-three (43) said yes, six (6) were undecided, and the last one?
Well, only one (1) knew that the chemical, dihydrogen monoxide, was water
(H2O).

The title of his prize winning project: "How Gullible Are We?"
