Awesome place, to me it’s like the Little Big Horn or perhaps Flanders. I can hear it on the wind.

"I can hear it on the wind." Exactly. I've tried to describe that to people who've never been there and they just don't understand. There are some places where the history lingers in the air. Walking the battlefield at night is somehow simultaneously eerie and peaceful.
