This is Christmas story about love and loss suffered by a small town in America who has sent many sons and daughters off to support this nation in peace and war. One of those sons, a Medal of Honor recipient, left his mark on the local American Legion and the town in ways few could have imagined or anticipated. The Legion has always honored the service of its countrymen and women, and the emotions and patriotism of this particular Legion made it the center of the universe for families inexplicably linked by celebration and tragedy. It is a unique American story - it is the story of Americans who love this nation.
