It was a really great experience. I've said this before, but it bears repeating: any time you have an opportunity to walk through history with those who created it, go. There is no more emotionally charged experience than to be there with someone who was actually there, and when you look at these veterans, it was pretty easy to visualize what they would have looked like sixty years ago. The fight is still in the eye, you know, the honour of the country; it's just there. You can see it in their faces. So it was a really emotionally charged experience and it was wonderful.
