The FReeper Canteen Presents...Happy Labor Day! September 2, 2024 HISTORYLabor Day is a national legal holiday that is over 100 years old.

In 1884, the Knights held a large parade in New York City celebrating the working class. The parade was held on the first Monday in September. The Knights passed a resolution to hold all...

PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT Just a children's song remembered from a Sunday School class long ago: "Red and yellow, black and white; they are precious in his sight; Jesus loves the little children of the world." But it expresses a profound truth...one that might change the world if we took it seriously. Sort of like the lesson in the poem a friend sent me yesterday. It's worth more than a second reading. It may reveal ... or remind you... of more truth than you expect! "We pray for the children who put chocolate fingers everywhere, who like to be...

Back in 1989, Admiral Carlisle Trost (then Chief of Naval Operations) asked a group at the Navy's...
