Luke AFB Thunderbolt – Digital and Print Publication for Luke AFB, serving the West Valley region of Phoenix, AZ. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – December 2019

 

Hello, Fighter Country friends, and welcome to the December 6th edition of Luke AFB Thunderbolt! As we head into the holidays, we’re privileged to bring you a special seasonal reminiscence, courtesy of the good folks at theJesusQuestion.org. Regardless of your spiritual orientation, “The Christmas Truce of 1914” is a moving recounting of what can happen in our world when people – even people at war – are willing to set aside their differences for a moment and come together in peace and fellowship. This story strikes a note of harmony and hope that is SO needed in our world today – we hope you enjoy it, meditate on it, and share it as we look back on 2019 and move forward into new hope for the future in 2020.
