In the Company of Heroes
A Silent Reunion
by Matt Hall
On a cold December day, veterans of the Battle of the Bulge reunite at the
America Cemetery in Luxemburg. Here, guarded by tall pines, rest the mortal remains of some 5,000 American boys who dies fighting
to liberate Europe. As the veterans reflect amidst the gently falling snow, their welling emotions confirm their often-stated
belief "The real heroes never came home". Here, they feel a presence, a warmth amidst the cold. Something tells them they are
not alone and this silent reunion is not the last.
Before we leave, to read and dwell on this painting brings tears to your eyes.
Upstairs (or rather a wheelchair accessible ramp) takes you to a tea room for morning or afternoon teas, and fresh scones, jam and
cream can be arranged. Further displays are in this upstairs area.
