Milt Lewis tells of how he and his men found an old barn and had a Christmas Eve Service. They all gathered in the little barn and sang Christmas Carols. Especially Silent Night. Milt was in the artillery and they were going to be on the move in the morning, "a great Christmas". Moving was the most dangerous time for an artillery unit and they had some real concerns. But the little service that Staff SGT Milt Lewis led gave them all strength for the task ahead.
