My Dad was stationed there during the 2nd World War; my son worked there as a UXO tech from 2004-2006, and is working there now.

Been by the Schofield Barracks. I would hate to be stationed there and getting run through the paces.

For paradise that would be hell. The mud, the humidity...

When I was in the 5th RCT in Korea in 52, we were attached for a while to the 25th.

When I came home I wore the Tropic Lightning patch, it looks better than the 5th RCT patch.

I was shocked to see an old WWI picture of Marines wearing the Army 2nd Division patch, they were attached to the Army 2nd ID.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

~ Today.... Partly cloudy this morning. A few snow showers developing during the afternoon. High 38F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 30%.

~Tonight....Scattered flurries and snow showers. Low 26F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this will be a quick hello and then I'm moving into lurker mode.
I still have a lot of work to catch up on.

I'll have my pinger on and will get back as soon as I can.

Now, off to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!

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

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

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

My husband's grandfather was stationed at Scofield Barracks in 1927. On the way back from an outing for a baseball game, he was thrown from the cab of a door less truck, struck a tree and died instantly.

Thanks for the pictures and history

Maria
