Battle of the Bulge

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.

Our Journey of reconciliation

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".
