I felt it the most when we went into the chaple. We were instructed to be quiet. You can feel the presence of greatness in that building. In fact, I have goose bumps just reflecting back on that day!

There is a ghostly feeling to visit there. You can almost feel the presence of those brave men.

On my visit to the Alamo many years ago I felt the same sense of reverence and overwhelming sadness. Stepping through the Chapel doors, I felt like I was going to an old friends funeral. It is a place that affects anyone who goes there. Upon leaving, I walked across the street to the Menger Hotel, went into the bar and had a couple of cold ones. Seemed like the appropriate thing to do.
