These Historian on Location videos are really cool, especially for an European like me who has even smaller chances of actually visiting these amazing places.
When I was in 8th grade, Mr. Doss came a spoke at our school. I got to see and touch that medal personally. I remember him being a very reserved, but a man of strong conviction. Much like my own grandfather, but spoke of his time in the war, in much different terms. Being as he was a contentious objector, and did not carry a weapon, where as my own grandfather served with the Big Red One, though out the North African, and European campaigns.
Dang I like the reaction content and all and you always add onto whatever your reacting to, but man this vlogging content is great! I wish it got as many views as the reactions.
If you haven't seen it. MSgt Chapman's Medal of Honor actions in Afghanistan is the first ever captured live. The definition of that award comes into stark focus.
My grandfather John Levitow was the lowest ranking Medal of Honor recipient in the Air Force during Vietnam, I want to thank you for doing the history of the Medal of Honor
I had the honor to spend Memorial Day Weekend in DC with both my sons (1 is Active Duty US Army) my son-in-law and his brother. Spent one day at Arlington National Cemetery and another at our Nations Memorials. What an epic weekend it was and something I will remember the rest of my life. I have uploaded some of the videos to my channel.
Hey Chris. Thank you for posting this! Coincidentally I visited the Medal of Honor Ctr. & Lookout Mtn. the Wednesday after we parted ways in Toccoa, following the cleanup. A truly inspiring museum that many more people will now be aware of, because of your work. Good times, good work, many thanks, and God bless. Hope our paths may cross again someday. Ash
Wow! This is a great video. My husband and I are definitely going to make a trip to this museum. We live a little over an hour. It amazes me how many people overlook places basically in our own backyards. Thank you! 🙂
I didn't end up going to the Memorial but I walked by it the other week when we stopped for lunch after visiting Ruby Falls. It's crazy seeing that street corner again.
You know you could have flown straight into Chattanooga. Thank you for your videos. I love to learn more about history. And your a great teacher. God bless you
Aw man! This was way cooler than I expected it to be! Fantastic video, super excited to go back and watch some of your older content of this kind and see what you do in the future. You're awesome!
My great-great-great grandfather, George D. Wilson was one of Andrew's Raiders. He was hanged as a spy. We were only recently notified, during President Trump's term that it had been overlooked and they wanted to present it to my mother, the oldest surviving relative. Due to Covid at the time, we were unable to travel to DC to receive it. Once we do receive it, we are considering donating it to this museum, thanks to your video. Sorry I saw it a year after you posted it! I've contracted the museum to see what the process is and if they even want it. I would like it preserved and displayed for posterity, instead of just floating around the family. I'm from North Central Ohio, Knox County to be exact. Thank you for this!
You should do a comparison with UK military honours. Our highest award is the Victoria Cross. The Victoria Cross can never be removed from a recipient.
@@catherinewilkins2760 I looked it up and before 1908, eight VC were forfeited from their recipients for criminal actions. After that king George stated that a VC should never be forfeited and it has been unofficial policy since then. However, the old forfeitures were never reversed.
Extremely powerful and very well done video. The museum hadn't opened yet when last I was in Chattanooga. I will get there one day ( hopefully soon)and check it out.
Huh, I remember when the building the center is in was used by a TGI Friday's restaurant, namely where the Puckett's is now. Funny how things change over the years.

Hey, can you react to the H**ler Rant scene in Downfall? It's a really great scene and Bruno Ganz is/was Fantastic in the role. Great and Interesting video, thanks for sharing. God Bless 🙏🏻 and Take Care. Peace. ✌🏻
@@geraldmacroe8580 Sorry, I can't be to careful when typing out some of these names/words of some some historical figures and Political Ideologies. I've had some comments be deleted by TH-cam just for saying the word N**I. Anyways. Take Care and Peace. ✌🏻
As a South East Asian teen who is never thought these stuff, I'm very thankful. Ps: In your Napoleonic war video you were asking about how British were giving away so much money. I think it could be because of them colonising few countries. For example in my textbook, it is stated that when British colonised us they profited of our national resources. Just a thought, not sure if that's the main reason but just wanted to share
"During the Napoleonic Wars, between 1811 and 1815, Malacca, like other Dutch holdings in Southeast Asia, was under the occupation of the British. This was to prevent the French from claiming the Dutch possessions.The British in Malaysia turned tin mining into a huge industry towards the end of the 19th-century. Malaysia quickly became the leading exporter accounting for 31% of global production, until the tin market crashed in the 1980s" I took this from the Internet. Please feel free to tell me if I am mistaken as I am only a teen .😊
The closest you can get to them in the UK, is the Ashcroft collection of Victoria Crosses. This is not a museum on its own, it's on exhibition at the IWM in London.
Hey mate, really enjoy your channel since I found it ages ago, first channel ever considered actually funding. I enjoy history of all kinds from across all eras and countries. But as an Aussie I’d love to see do some reactions to Australian history, military wise. Although heaps of amazing battles aussies were involved in you never really see many Hollywood style movies that cover it. Apart from recently they finally did The battle of Long Tan which was great, but you’ve got so many great moments like Gallipoli, rats of tobruk, even Rommel makes comments about the Anzacs. Battle of Kokoda; South Korea, 3RAR and Canadian battalion at battle of Kapyong stopping the Chinese push south. There few documentaries about different ones be good to see covering some things from both sides two but on under side we often get forgotten about but involved in almost every conflict. Would be cool to see you do one, maybe not the funny emu war, but as time gap I can’t be involved in live conversations so thought I’d like to see find one to react too. Cheers and thanks for the videos.
Im an American combat veteran (Iraq). But being someone who loves history, I can say, it’s embarrassing how the anzacs, the Canadians, the punjabs, and so many other heroes, aren’t celebrated as much as they should be.
@@jeffersonott4357 Thanks mate, it's appreciated. We have been involved in every combat since the Beor Wars in Afrian for England. Outside Australia and New Zealand most wouldn't have any idea. The horrendous crap the English put us in at Anzac, the Light Horse on attack on Beersheba, North Africa campaign and holding off Rommel, Kokoda track against Japanese (track some take others struggle to do to see if they can make the journey), 3RAR holding on at Kapyong, 6RAR in Vietnam. Been with both English and later America's wherever they went including Afghanistan and Iraq were our battalion lost a few boys and won a VC. Big thanks from us our Kiwi cousins as we often fighting alongside them. 🍻
@@wafishing4x4 i also think it has to be said how stressful it must have been for the Aussies during WW2, didn’t japan get to New Guinea ? That’s gotta be so close they could taste it. Everyone talks about the British courage during the blitz( well deserved). But the psychological torment on those people on the north coast in 1942 warrants some discussion, and definitely some praise. I don’t know much about the situation, but I’d be curious to learn about the measures they took, how imminent they thought an invasion was, etc.
@@jeffersonott4357 well Japan bombed Darwin, the government had serious concerns at the time as they were advance to Port Stanley which is on side of Papua New Guinea and just a hop from top of Queensland. They had reserve units on Kokoda track which is over country route from otherwise of Papua New Guinea and they fought both at times fighting retreat or withdraw to more defensive positions. They almost got within distance of seeing the lights from Port Stanley at one point. Australia wanted its regular units detached from British and sent home to defend and then push Japanese off the island. Japanese also tried to send a couple mini submarines into Sydney harbour to sink Navy ships docked, from memory only one got in and didn't work out for them. Our troops were deployed are over the globe but during the stages of Kokoda fight it was a real fear Japan would seek to cut logistics ties to the US. After WW2 Australia wanted to have its own permanent battalions and own command structure from British as real feel weren't given same respect and control over own troops. We also had divisions in Singapore as well as India that lost thousands of lives trying to hold it and the lack of thought to its defence and command failures really cost greatly. Since we try keep our own structure in support of overall mission by within our on own AO to operate how we see fit. I.e. Vietnam, we took operational area of province and operated on similar doctrine as previously fought Malayan emergency which was like counter insurgency. So picked a hill, set up our OP and they set large circle around the OP and basically moved all locals out and not locals on base so the insurgences can't mix in as all moved away. Lots of rich history to each current battalion and the many units called before as AIF which set the standard.
If you get the chance to come to S.C you should check out our military Museum it is a really awesome place with rare displays and an extensive static display of various vehicles
Great video! Also, what about reacting to horrible histories? It's a more child centered history channel also on Netflix (UK version I believe) and tries to make it funny but still historically accurate.
Maybe come visit Jackson sometime. We have a civil war graveyard here. I believe soldiers camped near my house actually, they were on their way to a battle.
I've been watching myself for a while. Ive introduced my family recently and we were actually coming to Chattanooga on a trip. I figured you would be gone by the time we got here but if you are still here my kid would love to meet you.
if you could please check out and react to some more of potential history ' s channel that would be amazing to see btw love from india and I really love learning about western history through your channel
These Historian on Location videos are really cool, especially for an European like me who has even smaller chances of actually visiting these amazing places.
Same here just in America, we appreciate all the European historians who do the same cause most of us can’t go
Love this museum!
I never would have known about it without your video, so thank you!

He looks like such a wholesome dad in this video
Lmao he always does but thats apart of the charm
Hey, you’re in my home state! Hello from Jackson, Tennessee!
I live in Tennessee too
Dang I like the reaction content and all and you always add onto whatever your reacting to, but man this vlogging content is great! I wish it got as many views as the reactions.
I can't thank you enough for coming down to Chattanooga. Your videos have been everything I hoped for and more.
I think Desmond has definitely got to be one of the most interesting people to learn about in WW2

It’s amazing that they have MoH recipients from the recent war in Afghanistan such as Cpl. Carpenter
You know you could have flown straight into Chattanooga. Thank you for your videos. I love to learn more about history. And your a great teacher. God bless you
Would have taken longer to fly there than to drive from Atlanta. No direct flights from my airport so I’d have been taking 2 flights.
What I enjoyed about the museum was the high standards they explained everything
I loved the narration. I felt like in this video it was superior to other historical location vlogs.
Appreciate the feedback! Helps me to make the next one even better.
Aw man! This was way cooler than I expected it to be! Fantastic video, super excited to go back and watch some of your older content of this kind and see what you do in the future. You're awesome!
Look up Roy Benavidez. His medal of honor story rivals some of teddy Roosevelt's stores. Roy Benavidez was a tough son of a gun.
Indeed that is why he is nicknamed the Lazarus soldier as in Lazarus like from the bible Lazarus

Was that always true? I heard of at least one of the early medals being taken away.
@@przemekkozlowski7835 I was given never to be removed. Other medals can be removed.

Great video! You hit some subjects that JD didnt in his video! These types of video's are great to watch! Thank you Chris!
The museum does look pretty awesome. 😊
The Museum is one of the coolest ones I have been to in Chattanooga
