| People talk peace. But men give their life's work to war. It won't stop 'til there is as much brains and scientific study put to aid peace as there is to promote war. |

| Find meetings & events here: |
The Holiday Season is here. It is
time for the annual re-telling of
the story of the Christmas Truce
of 1914.
This year -- with the help and
cooperation of lots of folks,
including our friends at Oklahoma
City University -- you'll be able to
experience a cinematic telling of
the story. "Joyeux Noel," the
movie, will be shown in
Oklahoma City on Sunday,
December 2nd -- 3pm.
Mark your calendar. Make plans to
attend. This is a special showing,
one time only. You're invited.
Bring friends. Bring family. This is
a free showing -- a gift to the
people of Oklahoma.
Here are the details:
The movie will be in the new Kerr
McGee theatre, 1st floor of the
Meinders School of Business at
Oklahoma City University starting
at 3pm on Sunday, December 2nd
with a discussion following. A
reception in the Atrium (the room
adjacent to the theatre) will
follow. The Meinders building is
located at NW 27th & McKinley
Ave.
If you need a refresher about the
story, see this post from last year:
ok-global/message/747
And, see the movie trailer here:

I hope you'll make plans to attend.
Here is a review from a movie-goer
in Germany (from the imdb.com
website):
"I was sceptical before watching
this film but by the end I had tears
running down my cheeks.
"By depicting the feelings and
destinies of the soldiers, the film
demonstrated the absurdity of war
and how each soldier is more than
a mere cannon target. It is a
commentary on the utter stupidity
of politics governing war events
from behind curtains while not
actually experiencing the real war.
By depicting a unique event in
European war history that occurred
on Christmas day 1914 it shows
viewers that Europeans can be as
one even as 'enemies.'"
