I’ll be home for Christmas
“I’ll be home for Christmas” The song was written was played endlessly in 1943 as our war weary soldiers looked forward to coming home. Today, we still have soldiers in all parts of the world who, like those of WWII, also look forward to coming home. In 1943, 76 years ago, life was simpler. We […]
