Feel the Souls

It would seem that from an early age, I have had an interest in history, specifically military history. My dad was a WWII vet although I didn’t appreciate it as much as I should have growing up. I spent four years in the Army including a year in Vietnam. I feel that myself and all veterans have a special bond with other soldiers no matter what conflict in which they served. My first visit to a Civil War battlefield was to Gettysburg some fifty two years ago and most recently for the popup tour of Little Round Top in August 24.
Each time I’m there, I get a feeling that I can’t describe adequately except to say that I can “feel the souls”. It’s a feeling that cannot be experienced standing in a shopping center parking lot.
My wife and I chose to become Color Bearers because battlefields MUST be preserved and cherished so that legacy of those soldiers, and all those who at one time or another have put themselves in harm’s way will not be lost.
