I don't know about you, but Christmas this year seems a little strange. Whether it is the rampant flus that are everywhere, the political climate or the war in Ukraine, it seems different. And Christmas during wartime takes on a special sweet sadness.
My parents met on Christmas Eve, 1944 in Belgium when my father was fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. Every Christmas they would recount how they met on the special day. I will not forget the stories and the emotions that went with them. Today we are going to look at Wilmington during the height of the “war to end all wars.”
