Just when I was about to feel down, this picked me up.

 Here is something to think about this year as we are all warm and safe at home to enjoy the holidays with our loved ones while our brothers and sisters in Uniform are not.
Many familes like mine have members in the armed forces and come from many multinational backgrounds and beliefs.
Despite the many differences, we still all share alot in common

Wow, what an amazing story. Makes me want to go light up the tree. :) Or sit in front of my fireplace.

*hugs* best wishes to you and your family during the holidays!

...wow. I've been to Hiroshima and the memorial park and museum there a few times now and the evidence of destruction on display always shocks me, so this seems even more amazing. What a lovely story!

That is a great story. I would like to send the link to my friends. Can you please edit the post to put the link of the story?

I read that on Japan Times. It is a very meaningful story.

I hope our folks in uniform come back home safe.

Merry Christmas.
