Welcome to the Canteen!!
The reason we're here is to support our Troops, Veterans, and
their families.
We're not here to discuss regional aspects of America.
If more folks would travel outside of America, they'll find
that most folks don't give a rip whether you are a Yankee
or a Southerner. They'll see you for what you are--an American.
Let's keep that in mind before posting stuff to tick others off.
I was born in the South, raised outside of America, and came
back and raised a Yankee.
I like to think I can get along with anyone.
Let's keep a focus on why we're here.
This isn't to most of you on the ping list.
Just need to remind folks now and again about what's going on!
