It's that time of year to start decorating the Canteen Christmas Tree.
We know from traffic stats from the Post Office that military lurkers come here daily.
They come to "escape" from the often dreary world they live in while ensuring our Freedom.
Many of our service men and women are experiencing their 1st Holiday Season away from home.

Will you take a few moments from your day today to post an ornament for the tree?
This may be cyberspace but know that military lurkers today will know they are not forgotten.

God bless ya, Kathy, and all the Canteeners for your support of our troops, vets, and allies!

Good night troops! May God watch over you and keep you safe.

The smallpox vaccination news doesn't seem so dramatic; we had them in the '50's and no one I know died

Good morning....I also had the smallpox vaccination (in the 60's) with no problems. I would take this vaccination also...

Oh, I wish I knew how to contact every man and woman wearing the American uniform.

I wish I had a way to let them all know that I and my family (filled with dozens of grown-ups and even more children) thank them for their service and sacrifice.

If I had the means I would tell them that we know you stand between us and destruction.

We thank you for crawling through caves and protecting borders now encased in ice and snow so far from home.

So, if those serving in our military stumble on this....please know we remember you daily in our prayers, we thank God for your courage and commitment, we know you will be victorious. and we consider you our greatest heroes.

May God bless each of you. Godspeed...victory...and safe home.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
