After begging the young man guarding the door to let us into Old North Church in Boston even though it was closing time, we continued on the Freedom Trail toward Paul Revere's House. Behind the church we found an amazing court yard with lots of cobblestone, fountains and an Iraq and Afghanistan War memorial? You are looking at me through a wall of dog tags. I don't know who erected this memorial or who is keeping it up but it had lots of flowers and a dog tag to represent each of our soldiers who has lost their life in these two wars. Amazing how everyone stopped and became suddenly silent as they took in the number of pieces of metal hanging there. As we all stood there, a gentle breeze came and made the most beautiful tinkling chime sound I've ever heard.
