Quote of the day

"American coffee just isn't the same thing," said one grizzled warrant officer, making a face at his morning cup of coffee in the base's mess tent.

"I'd pay some serious coin for a good cup of Timmies."

I think Tim Hortons coffee should always accompany large groups of Canadian troops. I am not a coffee drinker, but I know how much people love their timmies. It would be a nice perk for those who serve our country abroad. IMHO. A couple of years ago, I think Tim Hortons actually featured our troops in one of their commercials.
