Nothing supernatural, I just felt somber. Teared up at Fort McHenry this am. After the movie is done in the visitors center the screen rises and you see the fort with the great flag flying over it through the wi Dow. We’ve done Boston, NY, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Baltimore over 8 days. From Plymouth Rock to the Star Spangled Banner, all in 8 days.
When my wife and I visited Gettysburg, we were standing very near the place where general Pickett was killed and his charge ended...
Both of us said we could almost feel and hear the the battle...smell the smoke...We just looked at each other...
We have discussed this several times with ourselves and others...
Even now, as I remember those feelings, the hair is standing on my arms...
I am a combat veteran of Vietnam and I have never had the same reactions from what I remember from over there...
It was extremely eerie at Gettysburg for me...for us...
