The Night God Came to Dinner

[The Cooler King]

Pack,

Fritz Vincken searched for the soldiers for years. In January 1996, he finally was able to meet up with one of them in Maryland, Ralph Blank who served with the 121st Infantry, 8th Division. Sadly, Fritz passed away on December 8, 2001, 16 days before the 57th anniversary of this Christmas truce.

There is a made-for-TV movie about this event called Silent Night. It's very good and well worth the time if you ever get a chance to watch it. I know the Hallmark Channel always shows it around Christmas.

My Christmas was great, thanks for asking. Hope you and your family have a blessed New Year.

DMZ-LT,

No problem. Hope you have a happy and blessed New Year as well.
