Merry Christmas to all Wartime Witness fans! While you enjoy your holiday, I want to share one of my favorite Wartime Christmas stories that continues to Christmas 2012. After the Germans had broken through the American lines in Belgium to begin the Battle of the Bulge, 20 year old Ray Fary of Muncie, Indiana, a member of the 82nd Airborne, found himself outside in the cold for 5 straight days. Hungry and tired as his platoon tried to hold the line in the small town of Bra, Belgium, Ray and a couple of soldiers look for a place to get warm on Christmas Eve, 1944.
