When I was in England, I noticed that the government and the people honored the soldiers of WWI A LOT. I assume this is because it was so close to home and they suffered massive losses. England is like Guam in that it is a place still scarred by war.
This video (pasted below), created by Sainsbury's, England's version of Payless supermarkets, is priceless on so many levels. Not only is it a tribute to those who fought in the war, but it shows how Christianity (they were singing Silent Night, which describes Jesus's nativity) was a unifying factor for the men and a comfort in times of death and darkness. The film also reminds one of the purity of the human spirit, which even war cannot destroy. It reminds you that all men are created equal, no man is created evil, and belief in God's gift to us, His only begotten Son--in ways we don't even realize--can put into effect things we could never imagine.
