honoring a great hero.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families. THANK YOU for all you do.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. Patton apparently was one of those "love him or hate him" type of people. He might not have had perfect social skills but he had great military ones.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today.....Areas of patchy fog early. Partly to mostly cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms. High 83F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 50%. ~ Tonight.....Scattered thunderstorms early, then becoming mostly clear after midnight. Low 68F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

Good Lord! It's Monday already? And, I'm back at work? Tell me I'm dreaming!

As I listened to the weather report this morning I hear that "we" got a pretty good soaking rain yesterday. Let me tell you that this "we" didn't get much of nothing on her patch of land. It was disgusting! We heard thunder all around us, but when it finally rained it was brief. I don't know if it rained after I went to bed, but I can tell you the roads looked pretty dry when I left for work.

Still kind of muggy this morning. I've got to try to get out for my walk, quickly.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

And, now for a public service announcement

As always, the Canteen is open 24/7/365. We're here to entertain our troops, our allies, and their families. They may be having a rough day and need a break. We try to provide a place where they can come here and relax. Anyone who wishes to do the same is welcome to come in and join us.
