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!

There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere
Words and Music by Paul Roberts and Shelby Darnell, ©1942 by MCA Music, A division of MCA, Inc. This song was written during World War II (1939 to 1945) and remains one of the most popular songs about the war. It primarily portrays this young man's patriotic spirit and his desire to help create or preserve a free world. Lyrics are as reprinted in Dorothy Horstman, Sing Your Heart Out, Country Boy, New York, NY, 1976.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere
In a distant land so many miles away.
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
Where I wish that I could also live some day.
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry,
And Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly, too.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
Waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty,
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption,
Can't the U. S. use a mountain boy like me?
God gave me the right to be a free American,
And for that precious right I'd gladly die.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
That is where I want to live when I die.
Though I realize I'm crippled, that is true, sir,
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg.
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir,
Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg.
If I do some great deed I will be a hero,
And a hero brave is what I want to be.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
In that heaven there should be a place for me.

Oh, oh, redhead. Maybe Ragtime can bring a thermos of coffee. I don't drink it, therefore I don't know how to make it. (Altho tom took up a collection and bought me a coffeemaker once. Alas, I left it home.)
To: Kathy in Alaska
"Oh, oh, redhead. Maybe Ragtime can bring a thermos of coffee."No problem. I can bring my own. YOU just bring the SNOW.

for the children's sermon. Oh, how I grew to dread this part of the service. One memorable Father's Day, after a touching recital of ball games, fishing trips and other rituals of male bonding, someone shoved a microphone into the hands of my six year old and asked him: "What do you like to do with your Dad." To which he replied: "We have burping contests, like this...
The sermon that day:Raise up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it...

I had wanted to post this yesterday for the troops, but I was not online. Sorry it is a day late . . .

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you ? Thanks for these timely words of wisdom, Dubya.
My daughter came home from college and ran up our home phone bill to $600.00. My car insurance bill just came in, and to insure her 1991 Honda with PIP costs more than our 2 other vehicles with comprehensive coverage. She is in the living room watching "Spinal Tap" on full volume. But earlier in the evening we had a discussion about women and the military...
To: Aeronaut
yesterday!
To: Dutchgirl
LOL She is lucky to have you to help her.
