USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ New Canteen Mission Statement ~ January 21 2003

68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Due to an ever changing world it is time to clarify and re-define the Canteen Mission Statement.
When the Canteen first opened on Oct 7 2001 it was in response to the tragic events of 9/11.
It also opened the first day of the war on terror.
At that time there was overwhelming support for the war effort and the military.
Now that we are on the verge of a new phase of the war on terror
there exists an enemy within that has surfaced again.
All one has to do is read or watch the news to see
the anti-American protests start again, just like in the 60's.
It is up to each one of us to counter this movement.
There are many FReepers who can and do attend the counter FReeps.


Join Operation Infinite FReep!

For those who cannot attend these FReeps there are many things we can do to support our military.

Henceforth the Canteen Mission Statement is:

Showing support AND boosting the morale
of our military and our allies military
AND the family members of the above.
AND Honoring those who have served before.

So if you see a thread, a post, have an idea etc
that aligns with the Canteen Mission please link it or post it on the daily thread.
If you are a participant in an Operation Infinite FReep please post your notices or reports here.

Know that daily active duty military and their family members come here.
Show them that WE do care and DO stand behind them and their efforts to protect our Freedom.

OH Ms Grit that was so wonderful!

Thanks for showing me the couches Ms Kathy....think I'll take the one next to Tonk's blazing fire! Come sit over here, Tonk and tell me how your day went!

C'mon in Girlz and lets digest a bit before we tackle that firetruck. (I may not be up to it this evening at this rate!! -- I'd probably founder a battleship right now!)

"WE need more FReepers out there next time."

I'll do I can to spread the word!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I just fell off my chair laughing. Have fun on your bike ride. I think I'll stick to this and watch a little Fox News. Maybe I'll see one of our ships.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thanks for your message to the troops AND vets.

My fat cat is telling me it's time for bed; soooooooo:

Good night, all!

May God bless all who come to the Canteen.

May God bless & keep safe all our troops & their famlies!
PS: God Bless SG for that GREAT meal (except for the salad) tonight!

Meds are reducing the terrible swelling in my hands.

I know it's probably bed time, but thank you for the flyover of protection. Still keeping the faith for snow.
