68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

Posted on 11/29/2002 1:46:54 AM PST by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub

Since the Canteen is a "Home Away From Home" for our military lurkers
I think it's time we start creating a Holiday atmosphere.
Let the Holiday Season begin!

Will you take some time to put a smile on a military lurkers face today?

GOOD MORNING! TGIF!! I hope everyone's recuperated from the feasts of yesterday.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening troops, veterans, and allies! Thank You for all you do, or have done, to keep our country free. You're in my thoughts and prayers daily.

It's time for me to head to my bat cave for some much-needed shuteye but I whipped up a little breakfast first. Not too heavy, just a little something to start the day.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

.

Bless This House







Bless this house O Lord we pray;


Make it safe by night and day;


Bless these walls so firm and stout,


Keeping want and trouble out:


Bless the roof and chimneys tall,


Let thy peace lie over all;


Bless this door, that it may prove


ever open to joy and love.








Bless these windows shining bright,


Letting in God's heav'nly light;


Bless the hearth a'blazing there,


with smoke ascending like a prayer;


Bless the folk who dwell within,


keep them pure and free from sin;


Bless us all that we may be


Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;


Bless us all that one day we


May dwell O Lord with thee.






.

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.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
- Charles M. Province

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.
- Ronald Reagan

"The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten."
- Calvin Coolidge

==================================

This prayer was written by the late Petty Officer H B Shipstone of HMAS SYDNEY - 1941. It is read each year at the HMAS SYDNEY Memorial Service in Carnarvon at the Quobba Memorial, overlooking the ocean where it is believed SYDNEY and PO Shipstone went down.

Let me live, O Mighty Master,
Through this war. Yet if I'm slain
Tasting triumph and disaster
Joy, and not too much of pain
Let me roam the raging waters
For a while to love and laugh
And when I'm beneath the ocean,
Let this be my Epitaph -

"There sleeps one who took his chances
In that war-crazed tragic hell
Battled luck and circumstances,
Loved and laughed, but fought and fell
Victor, then he did no crowing
Wounded, then he did not wail;
Cursed and swore, but kept going,
Never let his courage fail.

He was fallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood
By his fellow men and women
Whether good, or not so good.
Kept his spirit undiminished
Had a laugh for every friend,
Fought for freedom till it finished,
Lived, loved, laughed, until the end.

===============================

From an officer of the Aussie Navy to my brothers in arms around the world.
