WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
I was reading the first in line, and realized
I don't remember hearing about that training accident.
Nothing on

Army Spc. Hilda I. Clayton nor...

four Afghan soldiers.

Guess they just aren't news worthy to the rest of the world.

Having said that, I try not to listen to the news much
and only check up on it online.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
