Column: Pearl Harbor, where WWII began and ended, is a moving experience

I have been blessed to stand on many historical sites and battlefields. Each experience moves the soul as your mind tries to picture what men went through on the piece of ground you are observing. Peering down through the timber on Little Round Top at Gettysburg, you feel the sense of urgency and courage that prompted a schoolteacher from Maine to order a bayonet charge after his men had run out of ammunition. Gen. Robert E. Lee’s stubbornness, combined with the heroics of men like Joshua Chamberlin, make this battlefield one of the best places to lose yourself in history.
