- In this week's walk, I had the chance to visit Arlington National Cemetery while I was in Washington, DC. While there, I decided to visit the gravesites of presidents, movie stars, world famous athletes, and people who impacted my life and helped inspire my military service.

I am a retired Texas Peace Officer after 30 years of service. I was a team leader on the Honor Guard for 15 years. I had the honor of training with the 3rd U.S. Army Infantry Charley Co. Old Guard stationed at FT. Myer, VA. assigned to Arlington National Cemetery. This was one of the highlights of my career. I was amazed to be in the presents not only of the thousands of American Patriots who lay in these hallowed grounds but to train with the fine young men and women who serve our nation today.
Thank you so much for watching and for your service. I am always honored when people comment here…especially those like yourself. Arlington is quite an amazing place. 😊
Just a heads up it's presence, presents are something you get for your birthday and whatever holiday you celebrate that receives them
Audie Murphy is the second most visited grave site in Arlington, next to JFK.
From the daughter of two Navy sailors, both my mom and dad, thank you for your service. They met when they were both stationed at Pearl Harbor during Korea. Dad was on a ship and mom was the one who did the dog tags and the toe tags. Both joined right after high school, mom from Iowa, dad from the Texas panhandle. Mom passed away in 2015 and has her military stone in a cemetery in Amarillo. My dad is still living, he's going to be 90 this year.
Thank you for their service. I love that both your parents were sailors ♥️ what an amazing time to be in the US Navy. I appreciate you sharing and all the support. Go Navy!!!
As a retired Soldier “Arlington cemetery” is the most scared ground in American.
Completely agree.
Sacred ground.
I'm not military, but I agree with you. However, I place war graves with it. Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, and all over the world. During times of war, our fallen were buried where they were killed. Ships sunk with people onboard. People buried at sea.
To me every National Cemetery is the most sacred ground, because every man or woman that served is on/in sacred ground. Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC was created at the very same time as Arlington National Cemetery.
If Arlington Cemetery is sacred the Tomb of the Unknown is the most sacred. Most visitors know to be respectful and quiet. I have heard the guard threaten a visitor who went inside the velvet rope. The guard told her he is authorized to use his rifle to protect the sacred ground. It was a military holiday and a large crowd. Even babies were silenced. That was decades ago. He speaks to the people trying to sneak in the back way or go around a fence.
The Sentinel, like the King’s Guards are highly trained. They are not for show. They are on duty.
From one veteran to another, thank you for your service and the honor and passion you show to all these great people ; we both share the same attitude ; thanks again.
Thank you! And thank you for watching 😊 Welcome to the Walk with History community 😁 🇺🇸
I would so love to see Arlington cemetery! So much respect. My husband is a veteran and will be buried at the Bloomfield veterans cemetery in Bloomfield Missouri when the time comes. His name is on the plaque at the front of the museum and cemetery as part of the desert storm 21st Airborne troop. I’m so proud of him and am a proud military wife! So proud of all our veterans!! I love you all!!
Thank you so much for your support and for watching. 👍
Thanks for the heartfelt tribute to our fallen hero’s. I served in the Army during the Vietnam era. Stationed in Germany. I have a brother and 2 uncles that went to Vietnam. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for watching and Thank you for your service.
Thank you for covering Maureen and Charles Blair. I had the pleasure of working at her home for some weeks in Ireland back in ‘78. She was every bit as relaxed and engaging to chat to and bid the time of day. We also were lucky to meet Charles Blair at the same time; tragically to loose his life some weeks later. A truly wonderful lady on and off screen
Thank you. That is wonderful to read. I appreciate the comment.
You did a wonderful job with this and sound like a really good person. Thanks so much. One of my favorite places.
Thank you! I appreciate it. It is quite a powerful place to be and such an honor to visit.
Jenn, your channel should be required to be viewed by all colleges (especially military academy(s))and private and public school history courses as well as all HS and college ROTC programs...IT'S THAT GOOD!!!
That is awesome. Agreed!! Let’s make it happen. We appreciate your comment very much.
Absolutely. Jimmy Stewart was not mentioned. He was a 5 star General in the U.S A.F. and won many medals and Oscars as an actor. God rest the souls of all who served.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My father was a Colonel in the US Army. I was born abroad because of his service. Thank you for your service then and now. I enjoy these videos so much.
Thank you!
I’m from the UK and I found this a very emotional watch , God Bless all the young men and women who came home to rest here 🕊️
Thank you so much! That is such a compliment. 😊 Thank you for watching. 😁
As a proud combat veteran of the 1s Inf Div Vietnam, you echoed every emotion I have about having served. Plus ... you gave me chills with that salute. I know what it means!
SSG G A Murdoch
From one combat veteran to another, Thank You from the bottom of my heart. ♥️🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, and Welcome Home.
I loved Maureen O'Hara. The Quiet Man is one of my favorite movies. She originally was going to be buried in Ireland then changed her mind. John Basilone is buried at Arlington. A true American hero and from my home town. We have a parade and we have a bridge named after him. He was the real deal.
Thank you. I will check out John Basilone.
He was KIA February 19 1945. 21 years to the day before I was born. If you want a true American and United States Marines hero, you found him.
our aunt fran is buried at arlington She was a navy commander and was a nurse
Thank you for sharing, I am honored you told me. Go Navy!!!!
Thank you ! You are the best I thank you for your service to this great nation,and the work that you have done. There those who tried to deny Black Americans the right to serve and after they have served we would come home and was not treated well. You know the history. This brought tears to my eyes because you paid honor to those who were considered less than. Thank you so much and may the peace of the creator be with you always. U.S.ARMY 1966-1970.
Thank you so much for the kind words. 😊 You may also enjoy a video we made honoring the Tuskegee Airmen buried at Arlington. Absolutely amazing men.
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Well done. I shed some tears. From one veteran to another, Thank You for your service.
I appreciate your comment so much. Thank you for your service as well.
I remember offering the Boy Scout salute at the Tomb of the Unknowns back in the '60s. I never served, but many family members have and I've come to honor all who have. Thank you for your service and your reminder of whom we have to thank for our freedom.
Thank you for watching and your experience at the Tomb of the Unknown.
My husband and I visited the Arlington Cemetery and I felt that it was one of the most peaceful places in the U.S. Audie Murphy was definitely a very humble man with a simple gravestone.
It is so powerful to be there. I was so humbled to be at Murphy’s grave. He is an American hero. Thank you for the comment.
That was an AWESOME video! Thank you for sharing. I have only been to Arlington once, in which I met the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Barrett.
It was an honor!
God bless all those we have sacrificed so much for our liberty, lest we forget!
Thank you for your comment. What an honor to have met him. I appreciate your support.
Thank you sincerely for your service and the honor given to those buried in Arlington
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. It will always be my honor to have served my country.
Well Done Sailor. I was last there forty years ago but you captured how beautiful it is, and what a reverent and important place it is to this nation. You are an excellent history teacher. Semper Fi
Thank you for the comment. We have another Arlington video you may like too.
A couple of weeks before I PCSed to Huachuca from my tour in Germany, I barrowed a car from a buddy, and drove over and walked through the Luxembourg American Cemetery. It's hard to describe the feelings I had while there. I guess you could say, I felt extremely honored to be in the presence of these troops who gave their lives, for our freedom. I wish I had known then, that I was only just over 120km from the Battle of the Bulge site. If I had known, I would have gone there too.
I also served in the Navy...retired at 20. Thank you for sharing your journey to Arlington...I hope to visit one day. Your video was informative, sensitive, and respectful!!! Your respect that was given through your salute, your pennies, and you heart stones was touching...Thank you for your service and thank you for reminding us all of the great history we have as Americans. May God bless you always
Thank you for your comment. It touched my heart. God Bless you as well and thank you for your service. Go Navy!!!!
From one Vet to another,Thank you. My father could have been buried at Arlington but chose the national cemetery at Ft. Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania as it was closer to family also he shipped out from the gap and mustered out there too.
Thank you so much. And thank your for your family’s service. 🙂
Thank you for this video. It reminded me of people who loved America. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. It is always my honor to have served my country.
You did a Great tour, and I see that you are, A great patriot, We need more people like you,
Thank you. I appreciate that. I do Love America.
Yours is a wonderful compliment James. We should all aspire to be recognised in such a manner.
I visited Arington from Australia way back in 1991 and was truly mesmerised, much like I was a few years back when I visited the Australian soldiers remembered at several sites on the Western Front in France.
What a wonderfully done video, so touching and with a message we should all remember. Thank you for your service and this beautiful tribute.
Thank you so much! That comment means a lot. We should do our best to remember those who sacrificed for us all. 😊
We’ve visited Arlington National Cemetery twice. Awesome and humbling at the same time! I salute all that are buried there.
Absolutely. America’s hallowed ground.
Robert Todd Lincoln; odd series of circumstances unknown to me until now. Overall this is a very inspiring video and makes me proud to be an American. Thanks for posting.🇺🇸👍
Thank you for watching. I appreciate your comment.
Jenn, thank you again for a wonderful video. I saw the 2nd Arlington video and I've found and thoroughly enjoyed the first one. As a Vietnam Veteran, I hold Arlington in the deepest reverence and respect for those who have gone before me. Thank you again for your service!! Go Navy!!
I truly appreciate your comment and thank you for your service. I appreciate your support.
This one was special to me, especially as a retired Air Force Officer. It is even more special, we lad my Father In Law to rest at Arlington in 2019. Services at Arlington are incredible, they do a great job. Thank you for. Introducing these under reported history events.
Thank you for your service and for watching. I appreciate your comment!!!
Really informative. Could tell you were deeply touched. Arlington is always on my list when I visit DC
It meant so much to me to be there. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.
As a Viet Nam Vet coming home was hard but never as hard as those you walked among there. I salute and honor you as you did the same for them. So few now see Holy Ground or understand why it is...thank you.
It was my honor to be there and thank you for your service. I visit the Vietnam Memorial in the DC Mall video. I leave a flag for my friends dad who is MIA.
Take an Honor Flight and walk among heroes I did.
Hi there. You did a wonderful job. As a former Marine I wish to one day visit Arlington. There was one part of your video that did not sit well and it was something you said. I do not know your personal history, such as, if you were in the military. When you were at Lt. Murphy's grave you referred to earned awards as "winning and winner". We never win awards for valor. The poor bastard on the losing end of a battle, he can't hit the reset button and have a do over. I do think that you did a great job and thank you for the background on Robert Todd Lincoln. Your video popped up in the recommended and I'm glad it did. I'm going to check out the others. Your very good.
Thank you for watching and you are completely right. I did inadvertently say winner vice recipient. I corrected myself in the video description.
Thank you for your service and for the kind words. 🙏
@Mr. Shlock Pedantic? Yet, you still read it. Lol. I believe that I referred to myself as a former Marine. Doesn’t “ex” mean pretty much the same in this context. You sir, get a job. You are too bored with your life to nip-pick no-sense.
@Mr. Shlock you need to learn to type proper English. I suppose being in the 3rd. Bn. 9 th. Mar. 1st. Marine Division was just a dream. Your bored with nothing else to do. My friend, that is sad. Good luck to ya.
Thank you for taking us along to Arlington 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Thank you
Thank you for such a respectful tour of Arlington cemetery.
Clare
Thank you for the kind words. It is always our honor to visit there. 😊
From one vet to another…thank you for your service
Thank you for your service and for watching. We appreciate it.
Major A. L. Murphy 36th Infantry Division of the Texas National Guard was and still is a personal hero.
Loved this, thank you and thank you for your service
Thank you. It was always my honor to serve my country.
So proud of you Jenn, both as a veteran and a Nittany Lion.
Wow, Thank you!! That means a lot. We Are….. 🤘👍🇺🇸♥️
Thank you for making this video. I have been to Arlington several times, but had no idea that some of the people you mentioned in your video were buried or honored there. Thank you also for your Service.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your comment. It is always my honor to have served my country.
Lee Marvin has an added connection to Arlington. Arlington National Cemetery sits on the former estate of Robert E Lee, and wife Mary Anna, who was a descendant of George Washington. Lee Marvin is related to both George Washington and Robert E Lee. His first name is a tribute to his ancestor Robert E Lee
Wow, I did not know that about Lee Marvin. Thank you. The part about the area belonging to Robert E Lee is in the video.
This is awesome. Great job! The history lesson was spot on. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I now look forward got visiting Arlington again to do more exploring. By the way, I have a dear friend who is an Arlington Lady. She supports families who are attending funerals of loved ones there as well attend the funerals herself.
Thank you for your comment. It means a lot to me and thank you to your friend that is important work.
I enjoyed your video very much i hope there will be more
I was so honored that you yourself was in service ..i thank you for that..🇺🇸 God bless you and the United States of America
Thank you. God Bless you and the United States of America.
I have watched a lot of your videos. So tasteful and respectful. America thanks people like you for being there when needed and who come home and foster respect for those who did not. Vaya con Dios
Thanks for watching and thank you for the support. 😊
I had the privilege of meeting Maureen in Boise Idaho a few years before she passed. I’m a huge John Wayne fan so I was obviously Star struck. I told her that my parents named me after Big Jake and the smile she got…. Wow!
That’s so neat! Thank you for sharing that with us 😁
Thank you! As a veteran I have to visit Arlington anytime I am in Washington to pay my respects.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service maam. Respect from an ex Australian Army soldier
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support and comment.
When first I started watching your video, I could not wait to comment about how much you remind me of actress Amy Adams. After watching the entire video, what I want to say is that this could so easily be your vocation. It is done so professionally and with so much respect and knowledge. I feel better for having watched it. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much. Your comment made my day. I have a Masters Degree in American History and I wanted to do something that I could use my degree as well as bring information to the public. I really appreciated your feedback. I plan to do another from Arlington soon about the writers there!!!
Nice! I learned a lot in this one. Definitely can't wait to get back there.
Thank you! I feel the same way. There’s so much to see there, you just have to pick a few and go for a good walk. 😁
yeah, some people though forget about Lee Marvin LOL
I had idea Joe Louis, Maureen, Meager, or Lee were buried there. That was an interesting story about Lincoln's son. Poor guy.
Aa a Veteran I appreciate the respect you show in your tours of the cemetery, and I thank you for your service. I do disagree in one statement made. Perhaps it is nit picking but I refused to look at a service man or woman's life as a life lost, as I also refuse to refer to limbs, organs etc as lost. They were and continue to be lives, limbs, blood and bone, Given in service to this country. The Bible says " Greater Love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends ". I believe that to also include laying down his life for his country. Arlington is a place I've visited on many occasions. I will never lose my esteem and severance for it.
I love that take! Thank you for sharing that. A great way to remember our heroes. 😊
@WalkwithHistory just always been the way I look at things. You don't lose things that are given. If you get a leg blown off from a mine or an iced, I'm pretty sure you know where that leg went. Parents and children can say they lost a Son or Daughter, mother or father, or they can say My Son or my Daughter, my Dad or my Mom, gave they lives. But an Airman, Sailor, Soldier, Marine, took that oath and therefore Gave their service. I suppose you could get technical and say those in Vietnam who were forced to serve due to the draft didn't "Give" their lives willingly, but to say that diminishes their sacrifice, and I'm not willing to do that! I cemeteries around this nation, and the world, there are Men and women of all equations who gave their lives. Volunteers, Drafted, Contentious objectors, civilians who served in the capacity of entertainment or news gathering. All deserve our respect. Thanks yall, for your service and for exposing some of these people's stories. Much Respect!
Visiting Arlington, is on my list to visit.
My 3 uncle's all served during WWII, and I am proud of the men and women who fought for us.
It is a very important place to visit. My grandfather drove a tank in WWII (the Greatest Generation).
@@WalkwithHistory my uncle's from my understanding, came ashore at Utah beach,but I have never been able to confirm this. Now that the virus stuff is under control, I want to visit and pay my respects to our honored service members.
Thank you for doing this. Our military history is something that can't be allowed to die. Thanks for repeating it, especially for those that don't know anything about it. (Air Force 1967-1971)
Agreed. Thank you for your service. 😊
Back in the early 80's, while I was visiting Arlington, the JFK memorial was being renovated. They were running a new gas line for the eternal flame. I took a picture of the sign that stated it was an eternal flame, while in the background was a hole with the old gas pipe excavated but not yet removed...and no flame.
Great video.
Wow. That is cool. Thank you.
As a Navy Vet. ( HCU-1 - YRST-1 Salvors, Pearl Harbor ) Thank You for Your service and this tour of sacred ground.
Thank you and thank you for your service. 😊
Before flying the F-14 Kara Hultgren's original call sign was "Hulk" as both a play on her name "hulk"gren and the fact that she was quite the athlete. She flew A-6 Intruders before they were retired which is when she transitioned to the Tomcat. With all the media coverage of her being the first woman to fly the F-14, she was profiled on several TV interviews. Knowing that she was going to be on TV she did her makeup for the photo shoots. All the other male pilots gave her a lot of teasing about walking out of the ready room with makeup and her new call sign "Revlon" was coined.
That is some awesome information. Thank you for sharing. I went through a couple of call signs too. “Yoko” stuck when I broke up the band of guys in my helicopter squadron so I know that a “call sign” can go through transitions, especially if you do something “funny” that your fellow pilots won’t let you forget. :)
Just found your channel. My dad, mom and brother are interred at Arlington. My son is also active duty military. I live nearby Arlington and visit often. But I think now in addition to my family’s graves I will visit some of these you mentioned. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching. We also have a other videos from Arlington, including another movie stars, media influencers video. It is such a hallowed place.
hey, it's me again. i remember seeing lee marvin interviewed on tv once, and the show host mentioned him winning the purple heart, and lee imediately, and sternly informed him that military medals were not won, they are earned. i;m not busting your chops, just letting you know. as always, keep up the good work. john
I misspoke and we made the correction in the show notes but you are entirely right! I appreciate a good chops busting every now and then. Thank you for watching.
I loved hearing the complete story of Robert Todd Lincoln! Great video!
Thank you.
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I also appreciate your willingness to make corrections- none of us are perfect.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I try to offer the best research at the time of filming but sometimes I have memorized the wrong thing, etc. I take full responsibility for all errors and will make any corrections as they come to our attention. :)
Great tour, thank you. I sat in traffic court next to Audie Murphy the year before his death. I was the only one who recognized him before the judge called his name. I leaned over to him and whispered to him my appreciation for what he did in WWII. He humbly said thanks.
Amazing!
@@WalkwithHistory Not sure it was "amazing" as much as it was one of those strange meetings. It was in 1970 and I was a college student in southern California. I was in court in Van Nuys for a traffic ticket. No idea what Audie was in court for as his matter was set aside prior to my case being dealt with. My beloved late dad was also born in 1925 and my dad's 99th birthday would be this coming April 1st. So Audie would also be turning 99 this year. My dad was a decorated WWII vet having fought against the Japanese in the South Pacific. My dad spoke of Audie many times as I was growing up so Audie's name was a sacred name in our household. RIP Dad, RIP Audie. Two standout members of America's Greatest Generation!!
how wonderful. thank you foor filming/posting this
Thank you for watching.
I was at Arlington a few years ago on an Honor Flight. Primarily we were there to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns and watch the changing of the guard. It was awesome. However, before we went, I had called the Cemetery to ask about visiting my first CO's grave. One of the men who take care of the Cemetery, a member of the "Old Guard," came to meet our buses. He took me off the bus and personally drove me to Capt. Livingston's resting place. He then drove me to the Tomb of the Unknowns. I wish they'd given us more time. Audie Murphy's grave is only 5 minutes walk.
BTW, you could've mentioned that Audie paid another price for his heroism. He suffered from PTSD the rest of his short life.
Audie was amazing indeed.
Great video. I just subbed hoping you will do more at Arlington. While I enlisted twice, I wasn't able to serve due too medical reasons. Much respect to you, all serving and served, and to those who are gone...but not forgotten.
Thank you. I will definitely do another Arlington video.
Thank you, you did an amazing job with telling some brief history of those buried in Arlington. It looks very peaceful and somber walking the grounds and I have always wanted to visit. Happy I was able to view your walk and hope you return there for more stories. You do a very good job at telling history !
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you. I will definitely return.
Very well done. As a Veteran of the US Army, I say thank you for your service. God Bless America!
Thank you for watching! And thank you for your service. God Bless America.
Thank you for this video! I learned so much watching, including Maureen O'Hara is interned there.
Thank you for your comment.
Nice video and thank you for your service from a UK military veteran.. can’t wait to get over to Arlington it’s been on my bucket list for sometime 👊🇬🇧🇺🇸👊
Thank you so much for the support. I worked with the UK Military many times. 🤘Thank you for your service.
Thank you so much for your service. God bless you.
Thank you!😊
I enjoyed your video and sincerely thank you for your service
Thank you. It was my honor to serve.
I just saw your video at Arlington National Cemetery and you did great with the tour of the soldiers who are buried there. Yes. Freedom is not Free.
Thank you for watching. We appreciate your support.
One of the things this video brings up is, "It's not just the person that enlists that serves, it's their family as well." That simple fact is forgotten, in some cases.
I appreciate that about Arlington, families are buried together. Thank you for that insight appreciation.
Good gravy! You leave the heart on top! Thank You, please! Leave it on top!
Thank you for a great video. Thank you also for your service, one vet to another. God bless.
Thank you for your comment and for your service. God Bless.
I went to Arlington national cemetery today with my uncle who is from London England. We went to several famous graves today and tried to find Maureen O’Hara. Had absolutely no luck
I am so sorry. If you go back try looking under her married name Blair or for her husband Charles F. Blair. She is not buried under O’Hara.
@@WalkwithHistory thank you very much
Hi Walk with History. I stumbled onto your channel today and decided to binge your videos from the beginning😊 Watching this, I was suprised to learn that Kara Hultgreen is buried there at Arlington. I knew her. I was the ALSS Supervisor for VF-213, and was aboard when her F-14 crashed. It was a hard day. I'm pleased to learn that she was an inspiration to you. Were you a pilot? As a PR, I always felt like kind of a mother hen to all my aircrews, and a deep sense of loss whenever any were killed. Maybe one day I can visit her grave too.
I love this. Thank you. Yes I was a navy pilot too. Yes LT Hultgreen inspired me and Thank you for what you did! I loved the PRs we had they took such good care of us and I am forever grateful! ♥️
Thank you for talking about Medgar Evers. ❤
Honored to talked about him. 😊
We recently toured the area where the Tomb Guards prepare. Such an Honor.
That is awesome. I bet that is such an honor to see.
Very nice work(Please don't allow ridiculous nitpickers and other haters slow your momentum.) For your next trip to Arlington suggest a visit to actress Constance Bennett and author Dashell Hammett who wrote The Maltesse Falcon. I served with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam.
Those are awesome suggestions. I definitely will. Thank you for those and for the supportive comments. I truly appreciate it. Thank you for your service as well.
Lee Ermey, the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket, buried here also. Been enjoying your recent posts. Thanks.
May God always bless you and thank you for your video and your service.
Thank you. 😊
Robert E. Lee married a granddaughter of Martha Custis Lee. They were THE couple prior to the Civil War and Lincoln offered leadership of Union forces to Lee. He spent a sleepless night considering it and said later he decided he could not take up arms against Virginia. Gives you a sense of how important states' rights actually were. Before the Civil War authors used to write, "The United States are...", afterwards they wrote, "The United States is....". I'm so proud of you for not repeating that ridiculous, apocryphal story about Bob Keeshan and Lee Marvin on Iwo Jima.
Yes Lee was quite the man and I think he thought about the big picture in regards to states rights more than people realized. Thank you for the kind words.
Ty for your service
Thank you. It was my honor to serve my country.
born in 1954, as an USAF veteran, my THANKS to You for doing a great job!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching. My parents were AF and I am an AF Brat!!! Thank you for your service.
@@WalkwithHistory and Thank You for Your Service. May the Father in Heaven bless you and Your family!!!!!
Very Interesting! Love it!
Thank you!!!
What a interesting and great video. Thank you so much for the interesting facts, most of all thank you and all those who served in one-way or another for your courage and service.
Thank you.
Thank you for your service!
It was always my honor to serve my country. Thank you.
You are a great military person and I have only seen 3 of your episodes and thank you for your service maam
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate you and it is our honor to serve our country.
@@WalkwithHistory I know ma'am I was in the navy myself , you and your family have the greatest year , my time was when Iran held our people hostage
Just subscribed. Very much enjoyed this. Actress Maureen O'HARA starred in one of my favorite Christmas classic movie "Miracle Of 34th Street". Also enjoyed learning about Abraham Lincoln Son Todd in this.
Thank you so much for you comment. I appreciate it. :)
Excellent information! Just a fact...I am the son of Lois Fitzsimons (pronounced "Sigh - Muns" please and thank you) Maureen was/is my second cousin and I have a confirmation letter. Very outstanding job!
Thank you for the correct pronunciation. I never would have known. How cool that she is your second cousin. Great actress. I love her movies. I appreciate your support.
Just re -watched it. You did a very revealing and fact based posting. And Ma'am, were you a member of the Marine Corps as well??....This "Doc" thanks you for your service Ma'am!
Thank you so much for your comment. I was in the Navy!!! It was always my honor to serve my country.
@@WalkwithHistory If you happen to see one of the biographical posts on her, her facial features are exactly like my mom's were....Kinda Sorta Scary but hey LOL....
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for the support!!!
Thank you for your military service, and for this TH-cam video. I have never served, but I’ve always appreciated those who have defended our nation’s freedom. This moving video touched my heart, and I’m old enough to admit I cried at least three times while watching this informative and respectful video.
Thank you to all who have served💕❤️💕.
Thank you for your comment and Thank you for all the support. We appreciate people like you so much. ♥️
Thank you so much for posting this. As I watched, I vowed to myself that I will get there this summer to pay my respects.
That is so awesome. It is such an honorable place to visit. Thank you for watching.
I was there when my friend Col. Juanita Warman was laid to rest. She was a victim of the Ft. Hood shooting. I wept silently holding back all my emotions until it was over. I have never returned but did promise a longtime friend and fellow Penn State graduate that I would accompany her to see her father and mothers grave one day. Thank you for this, your service, and your informative documentary (especially Todd Lincoln, I knew he was present at all those assassinations, but you went above and beyond). We are...PSU Fencing '81
Thank you watching fellow Penn Stater. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you the next time you are at Arlington.
Many years ago I had the pleasure of shaking the hand of Bernie Fisher. This happened around the same time Lt Hultgreen died. I had a chance to speak to him for a moment. I was not thinking and I used the term "won" in regard to the MOH. As soon as that word came out of my mouth I knew I had just committed a serious faux pas. I asked him to forgive me. He smiled and said forget it, I hear that a lot. I know I am going to catch a lot of hate for this comment. I understand you meant well. Still, saying someone "won" the Medal Of Honor in some situations will draw a sharp rebuke. NOBODY wins the MOH. People receive the MOH! Still, I liked this video, you did a fantastic production job! I also respect your salutes. Last time I was in the Garden I was doing that as well.
We appreciate the comment. Definitely misspoke and we’ve corrected ourselves in the video description. (And we are very careful when speaking of MOH on more recent videos) Thank you for watching! 😊
@@WalkwithHistory Thank you! I debated making that comment because there is so much negative crap all over the internet. I attempted to word my comment in a way to express a thought and do so in an uplifting way. If I can work it out I plan to return to the Garden before it gets really hot this coming summer. If you ever get a chance to visit Boise Idaho Bernie Fisher is in the Veterans Cemetary there. I have a signed photo of him along with his MOH citation on my office wall.
@@THE-michaelmyers We really do appreciate your comment...it means a lot when people care enough to reach out. Thank you!
The most impressive thing about Lee Marvin was despite his accolades as an actor including being an academy award winner, is he is buried in Arlington national cemetery and his headstone says Lee Marvin U.S. Marine,,,, Semper Fidelis.
So true!! Thank you for watching. 🤘🇺🇸
I have 3 grandparents, WW1, 1 uncle, 1 aunt, WW2. 1 uncle, Korea, 1 cousin, Vietnam. All RIP At Arlington National Cemetery. My father who served in Europe during WW2, passed on October 24th 2021. He is still waiting to be placed in Arlington as of November 2022.
Thank you for the comment. Your father is waiting to be placed in Arlington, is that how long the waiting list is to be buried?
@@WalkwithHistory The family was told 11 months. Now the word is closer to 16-20 months. Just another example of how completely messed up the Army is. For me it’s no surprise given what is happening in the USA.
@@WalkwithHistory Yes it
is. My mother is 95 and not in good health. We are now at almost 14 months.
Throwing you a Salute, young lady. Thank you for these. As I recall, Lee Marvin, Joe Lewis...and Pappy Boyington were all buried very close to each other.
Thank you! Yes Lee Marvin and Joe Lewis were very close together…we’ll have to lol up Pappy Boyington next time we visit. 😊
Section 7A (which I refer to as Celebrity Row). Lots of big names there, including Jimmy Doolittle.
Wow! I really enjoyed this video. You are a wonderful narrator. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Very good! You hit some major names there! Good presence on camera too! I can tell you are a great patriot! As you were standing at the Custis Lee Mansion I remember bring there a week and a half after 9/11 and from that hill we could see the Pentagon with a flag draped over the giant hole in the side caused by a jetliner. That is one gorgeous cemetery grounds. I hope to go back someday! Keep up the great work! It’ll take time but you’ll get there.
I always appreciate all your feedback and support. Your comments mean so much as one of my major influences. Each time I get a little better. Arlington is such an important place for all Americans, I was so honored to have paid my respects there. It is a beautiful location in the DC area and yes, very well cared for.
