Reflections

2/25/13 Tonight, John Cosgrove will be at the Davie County Library to discuss the great World War battle called Battle of the Bulge.  Studies show that the death toll and injured were staggering. American deaths 19,276 American wounded 47493 Captured & MIA 23,554 British deaths 200 British wounded & MIA 1400 German deaths 15,652. Captured & MIA 27,582 Wounded 41,600. I had the opportunity to interview Ralph Call. Ralph was a gentleman from Davie County who kept  a lot of his stories bottled up for over 50 years. He earned a purple heart in the Battle of the Bulge.  Approximately 3 months before he died, he shared his story with me. I hope you will enjoy this. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Sanctity of life Sunday. Thanks to the Morrison class for allowing Elizabeth to share her experience about finding her birth mother. We are sharing a short video of our first experience going to Canada to meet this family. Kevin, Elizabeth's birth mothers husband said it beautifully in the footage when he said, " you have crossed our path, and were with us always".
