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

Once again, it's going to have to be a quick hello
and then lurker-mode.
Due to holiday coming up,
time cards will have to be done today.
Both secretaries were out yesterday,
therefore we have to scamper like rabbits
to get them collected and entered today.

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.
