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

My brother said he felt the same thing when he went to the Little Big Horn. Given the difference in circumstances, I'm not so sure I would feel the same way.

It's so true. I first visited the Alamo in the 60s. While it was smaller than I had imagined, I still remember seeing the artifacts and so forth and you could "feel" the history of that place. Thanks for the ping and the comment !
Here are a couple of pics......
