What happened in that shell hole? Did all evil cease? Were all wrongs made
right? No. What happened was simply this: Two enemies saw each other as humans
in need of help. This is forgiveness. Forgiveness begins by rising above the
war, looking beyond the uniform, and choosing to see the other, not as a foe or
even as a friend, but simply as a fellow fighter longing to make it home safely.
