Christmas is a holiday on the church calendar so it is celebrated everywhere there is Christianity. Note the Eastern Orthodox Church does not celebrate on Dec. 25. Thanksgiving is celebrated in a few countries, like the USA and Canada. Canadians observe Thanksgiving earlier than we do in the US. Find friends up north and celebrate twice!
Thanksgiving is an American holiday. As a government recognized holiday, it was relatively new in 1943, having begun only in 1941. Before that it was an American tradition stemming from Plymouth Colony in the 17th century.
Keep doing what you're doing! Never mind nay-sayers w/petty stuff. You're "putting yourself out there" so u gotta take good w/the bad. If u get legit criticism, take it. I'm a Veteran & History Buff. In NO way "offended" by u Not being an "expert." I watched your Band of Brothers & Saving Private Ryan reactions. It's a GOOD thing you're curious & expanding your American history knowledge. You're No "hater." OUR (American) history is a mixed bag of Good & Bad. We hv to face & learn Both (not just the side that fits one's narrow narrative or agenda). Keep learning, Keep watching ! World War ONE suggestion (American story): THE LOST BATTALION.
Vera? He barely has a writing relationship with Vera. I don't recall him getting any response from her. Their mail would have caught up to them in Austrailia. I don't know why he would feel a deep attachment to her.
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. -1 John 4:20✝ 3:29 Now, I read Helmet For My Pillow (Leckie's book) a very long time ago so I may be wrong but, I don't recall any accounts of this woman "Stella" in his book, so this may just be another case of Hollywood being Hollywood.🤫 Back then in Australia, to "take a walk" sometimes referred to as a "walkabout" meant to go on a self-seeking hike, usually for a long time (perhaps months) and usually into the Australian outback (a rather large, barren, arid and deserted region). 8:23 Thanksgiving is strictly a North American holiday, though Canada celebrates it on a different day. Christmas is originally a Christian holiday but can go by other names on different dates in other countries. I forget how long they were in Australia but I presume it was quite a while. They had to recuperate from their illnesses and severe weight loss during their months on Guadalcanal. The entire battle for Guadalcanal lasted about 6 months. Peace🕊

They were there for nine months.
Remember your reaction to the blister. In a little while that will seem like a fun moment.
