A visit to this most holy of shrines

Agreed.

If you know your history, you cannot help that your eyes will well up with tears as you stand where the Minute Men stood, and contemplate that you are ‘Standing Your Ground’ against the mighty British Empire.

This is what I feel every time I am there.

I agree with you completely.

There are a few places that do this to me...The North Bridge, Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, Jerusalem.

This account by Charles Kuralt, late of CBS News, always puts me into the mood.

Timeless.
