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

That's right - the Canteen mission
Support the troops and all they do
They've given up so much
All for me and you

There are so many here
Who keep the aim sure and true
They support the troops
And have lots of fun too

We dance and play
And spin on our toes
A turn of phrase
A joke or some prose

All for the troops
Who visit and  bask
Looking for a friend
A break from their task

So thanks to my friends
You know who you are
This army sister's brother
Is home from the war

You made my life easy
You taught me some things
You brought me such peace
You gave me wings

I'll always hold dear
The ones who have cared
Who gave me their true friendship
Thank you FReeper Canteen.

[Tanniker Smith]

Help! A couple of weeks ago, I was in the Canteen on a Music night. Someone (I don't remember who) posted music with an INCOMING! photo that was cute and hysterical. I thought I had saved a copy of it, but I can't find the file. Can anyone give me a link to a post with the pic?

Thanks.

L’Chayim!

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Exodus 12:21-30

The Lord will . . . not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. —Exodus 12:23 My friends Deb and Bryce were invited by some Jewish friends to attend their seder dinner. This is a celebration held by Jewish families to commemorate the first Passover in Egypt (Exodus 12:24-27). The entire family becomes involved, including the little children.

Deb and Bryce expected a somber evening, but they discovered a joyous celebration. At the beginning of the meal, a piece of bread was halved. One half was shared by the guests; the other half was hidden by the youngest family member. All the adults searched for it, to the child’s delight. When the bread was not discovered, it was ransomed by the child amid great laughter. Then followed an evening of stories and songs, and the oft-repeated phrase: “L’Chayim! To life!”

Why not a joyous celebration? The Passover marks the deliverance of Israel from slavery and the “destroyer.”

The Passover meal Jesus and His disciples shared the night before His death was a celebration too, but with serious overtones. It signaled the beginning of the events that led to His sacrifice and our redemption from sin and Satan.

From spiritual slavery to spiritual freedom. From death to life. As we celebrate our deliverance, we too can say with joy to one another, “L’Chayim! To life!” —David C. Egner

Either way, he's going on a card (or a mini-poster) for my father 82nd birthday. (if you don't mind)

I just wish I could find insignia from the 82nd that had the numbers on it instead of "AA". The only one I found was actually from an XBOX game.

TS
(Dad was Airborne, but it's a good military pun for this coming birthday.)

[BIGLOOK]

It's Mother's Day...so no complaining.

Happpy Mother's Day Star!

[Tanniker Smith]

(Dad was Airborne, but it's a good military pun for this coming birthday.)

SIGH!!

That should say "wasn't", not "was".
Wish I could type tonight!

[StarCMC]

It cracks me up too. I heard that it annoys some folks though. LOL!! Oh well -- you can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself, right? He he he!

[StarCMC]

LOL -- I have my pinger ringer turned off right now too! I almost lost track of time too -- just barely remembered in time.

[StarCMC]

Thanks TM! I love the new coffee cup!! CUTE!!!

[StarCMC]

I don't mind -- I found that pic on google -- I don't own it! :o)

I wonder if you could photoshop this to use somehow...

[StarCMC]

LOL!! Thanks BIGLOOK! It's been a good Mother's Day!
