    I wish there were more army navy stores around because it is amazing what you can find. I could not help but notice that during you interview with the owner... in the background was a Seabee Flag! Great Video! Can Do!

      Agreed! These stores are so much fun to visit and you absolutely can find some amazing things there. This is a fun store that we continue to visit…thank you for watching! 😁

    Wow this video popped up in my feed and I was like I know this place just by the thumbnail!! I went to Granby high school and went to this place when I was in NJROTC to get all my brasso and buckles and such. That place is a true landmark and finding out more about the history of it was an added bonus. Good work. Oh BTW don't pronounce the L in Norfolk. 😄

    (M and G) I loved walking through the store every few weeks while studying at ODU. I hadn't found anything similar to this when I moved away; the breadth of things there is incredible!

    This was a Treet! The first Army Navy surplus store I went to in 1972 was M & G surplus.I still have fond memories of those days and I probably did business with his older realatives! I am an avid surplus user to this day as I just bought a large supply off of eBay.

    That was fun! Thank you for a unique experience. Well done. I enjoyed the background and the first hand look. One of your gifts is you are so authentic in your interviews and your reactions. It makes the "listener" feel like they know you. i wish you every success! I will keep sharing your link so others will discover you too!

    Grew up in Seattle in the 50s and fondly remember the fabulous army navy surplus downtown which of course are sadly gone infact most of Seattle has been destroyed. Friedman is a common name for many hauk shops and such which their many of all up and down 1st Ave when the town was alive and well.......

      You could definitely do that. Uniforms require mini medals sometimes but they are not pins like those in that display case.

    I love M&G! Larry and Laura are great, they will chat with anyone just as they did Walk with History! I've bought several items from them, including a HGU-56/P helicopter helmet (although it was for a USN hovercraft) and some "G-pants" (inflatable chaps that push blood back to the torso in high G situations). Definitely a place I go to whenever I am anywhere in the Norfolk area!
