All Gave Some, Some Gave ALL

Valhalla

 According to Norse mythology, Valhalla is a hall which is located in Asgard. Valhalla is made of steel and ruled by Odin. Those warriors who died in combat, they are the members of Valhalla. No one can enter Valhalla without being warriors. There are sayings that, in Valhalla, every warrior fights with each other all day long. They are wounded, slaughtered, and sometimes maybe dead. But in the evening all wounded warriors and dead men are alive again. All warriors have their dinner at night.
