[Colt .45]

Undertood, however this was done as showing how men, in the midst of killing each other can find common humanity in the strangest of places. No Man's Land among the dead is where this meeting took place. And on this one blessed day of the year, we should put Christ first and killing last.

Understood, however this was done as showing how men, in the midst of killing each other can find common humanity in the strangest of places. No Man's Land among the dead is where this meeting took place. And on this one blessed day of the year, we should put Christ first and killing last.

Thanks, but, the point was not missed.

However, the fact is, most don't want to fight (it hurts to have your nose blooded - regardless of the high some feel) but sometime, we must fight. Those 1914 troops would have all rather been with their families celebrating Christmas.

It is however, a tribute, that across no man's land they could extend the hand and enjoy a day in the name of Christ.

My grandfather laid in Flander's field for dead for three days before there was a "truce" to collect the dead and they found him to be still alive.

Every Veteran's day when I hear the poem "Flander's Field", I think of my grandfather who was left for dead at 17, and lived an additional 59 years. He was my Hero while alive and my Hero since his passing.
