How to connect XML data contained in Window.Resources in XAML file to XML.Linq

Question

I have put XML data which represents the NATO phonetic alphabet into XAML window File. I have also code behind which I want to generate programatically Stack Panels per Entry which will contain 2 labels each, One containing the Letter and second the Phonetic word representing it. It will all be put in a wrap panel. I could have done a lot less just making the xaml manually but this is practice, and I really want to checkout Linq and XML. The code behind contains all the comments. This is my first time using Linq and XML in code so I don't really know what I am doing so Please explain the concepts and add links and not only answers.

Here is the XAML:

Here is the code behind:

public partial class PhoneticAlphabetWindow : Window
{
    public PhoneticAlphabetWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void setControls() {
        //Get XML data
        //For ech xml Entry
        //Make a stack Panel
        //Make two labels with letter and phonetic and add them to stack panel
        //Add a style to label
        //add a content to be letter
        //make a label with phonetic word
        //addd a style to label
        //add a phonetic           
    }

    private IEnumerable getData(String xml) {
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(xml);
        IEnumerable childList =
        from el in doc.Elements()
        select el;
        return childList;
    }

    private void addLabels(StackPanel EntryPanel, String letter, String phonetic) {
        Label letterLabel = new Label();
        letterLabel.Content = letter;

        Label phoneticLabel = new Label();
        phoneticLabel.Content = phonetic;

        EntryPanel.Children.Add(letterLabel);
        EntryPanel.Children.Add(phoneticLabel);
    }

    private StackPanel addStackPanel() {
        StackPanel EntryPanel = new StackPanel();
        EntryPanel.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;
        MainPanel.Children.Add(EntryPanel);
        return EntryPanel;
    }

}
