Christmas in war…

The  Christmas Truce  of 1914 was a remarkable event,  and is always worth a look back.

Stanley Weintraub has authored a number of books about celebrating Christmas while at war,  and his  latest concerns  Korea.

Rich Lowry remembers Christmas  at Bastogne,  where American G.I.s spent the day stopping Hitler’s advance.

Read about the  first SEAL,  who spent his Christmas being tortured in a Gestapo prison.

Unfortunately,  the Christians and others fleeing ISIS in the Middle East have  little left  besides their faith.   Their  spirit is  astonishing.
