Awesome video dad!! So much respect for the soldiers who fought for our nation’s independence.
Much appreciated, Kayla!
Grew up in the region and visited as schoolchild and teenager. Brings back memories!
I love the nature ones you do sir, but I also find all the historic ones equally interesting. I think Valley Forge is a place all Americans should visit.
Totally agree, Jonathan. We'll respect this country more when we learn about the sacrifices that were made. Enjoy your week!
Nice family day together. It’s hard to understand the challenges that the troops faced- we have so much to be thankful for!
Compared to them... we really had it easy that day! Memorable time together.
"You spend time with your family?'
"Of course I do."
"Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family, can never be a real man."
What a great job with your kids. As a historian, I love these types of videos.
Awesome words! 100% with you, my friend!
@@AmericasParks let me know if you can guess where the famous quote came from. It's a movie!
Thank you for a wonderful video. I always drive by Valley Forge, but never stopped by to visit on our way to Philadelphia.
Smiths, it's good to see all of you together on one trip. With the kids getting older, it's becoming rare. Miss seeing you.
Thank, Jim! Agree... and really do cherish these times! The two oldest are living in MI, so it was wonderful to all be together over Christmas.
Excellent video Randy and your wonderful family🌟Wishing the very best to you all this coming year✨
Thank you, Brooke! Hope the same for you and your loved ones!
I'm from Philly and have gone passed this park for years without checking it out, ever. This video inspired me to change that.
Happy to hear that! Really cool place of American history!
Thank you Randy, you have such a lovely and amazing family. I absolutely loved this video and the history you and your family shared. I wish you all a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed 2023. .. Robin 🙏💗
Appreciate that, brother! Have a blessed 2023!
It is so nice to see your family all together again. Those times are moments that will always be treasured. This looked like a really interesting and fun trip for you all … and can’t forget the pizza! I wish a beautiful 2023 for you and your family. I have continued to be blessed by your church services, messages, concerts, and activities. Take care always!
So great to hear, James! May God bless your 2023!
Excellent job of telling the story of your country, Happy New Year God Bless.
Thanks, Doug! We really tried to represent the the truth of our history accurately and with great respect. Have a blessed 2023!
You did a great job with this video. I learned so much from your commentary and I've even been there. Your kids are doing an amazing job talking in front of the camera. Thank you to you and your family. God bless you all in 2023.
Thanks, Lonna! Really encouraged to read that!
Randy, I am a bit BEHIND on watching your videos . . . so will start catching up! This Valley Forge family video is the kind you make that I enjoy most, as you know. The Smith Family Christmas Card! Two of my direct-line ancestors spent the winter of 1777 in Valley Forge. I have visited this site in the winter on purpose so I might get a sense of what it might be like. Everyone should do so, to understand the sacrifice soldiers made to win freedom for all of us. THANK YOU RANDY, JULIE, HAILEY, KAYLA, NATALIE, and SHANE for taking us along with you on your tour, .. .. .. Mike
Enjoyed the comment Mike and always great to hear from you! Hope you are having a blessed start to 2023!
Great videos 👍 always a pleasure to discover your country along with you and your family. Always learning a lot.
BTW, happy new year and all the best ☺️
Appreciate the thoughtful words! Have a blessed 2023!
@@AmericasParks thank you 😊
Thanks for all the history! Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Much appreciated, brother! All the best to you guys in 2023!
I just experienced Valley Forge after I had participated as a Sons of the American Revolution member at the Battle of Monmouth. I fell in love with the Forge.
So true! Absolutely fascinated by the history!
It’s great to see the entire family together. You guys seem so happy and close. Happy new year and many blessings in 2023!
Thanks, Luke! Love being with these dear people.
I also loved that each person in the family took part in the presentation.
Thanks for the kind feedback! So nice to be with the entire family!
Just watched with all the sisters...from Michigan! Great, wonderful memories with the family!!
Such a special day!
Valley Forge is my local. I regularly walk/ hike there since it's just a mile from my front door. This park bookends very well with Jockey Hollow in Morristown, NJ, one of the winter encampments often forgotten about that made Valley Forge look rather tame in comparison.
Great to hear! We were so impressed with its historical significance, not to mention the natural beauty of this location. Have a great 2023!
I just finished driving down from NJ to visit Mount Vernon VA, and I’m definitely looking at Valley Forge as my next adventure. Nice video!
Appreciate that! Were from NJ too, totally worth the visit to Valley Forge!
So cool that you guys do this as a family with enthusiasm shared by all! This was a great video, I learned a few things as a newer resident of KoP
Appreciate your kind and encouraging words!
Another great history lesson from the Smith crew. Definitely one of the most important historical spots in our country. Happy New Year to you all!
Hey Andrew, hope you guys had a great Christmas! So blessed you find the channel uplifting and educational! Have a blessed 2023!
I grew up and was raised in that area. It is a magical place. Im glad you got to experience just a fragment of what i grew up with. Im a grad of Conestoga High School class of 96'. Literally a few miles from Valley Forge. Thank you for sharing this vid. You have a magical, beautiful family!
Really blessed by your very kind words! You indeed grew up in a beautiful and very historical area!
Heading there shortly from Toms River. Thanks for showing us what we are looking forward to!!
Hope you had a great time... my NJ neighbor!
Atta-boy to the Ranger who named off ever major General at the time, plus a few Congressional members!
Agree... that was really impressive! Sure do respect the folks that know our country's history.
Visiting Valley Forge and other nearby historical sites next month. Looking forward to it.
Have a great time!
@@AmericasParks Thank you.
This video is absolutely one of my favorites. I love how your whole family is involved and y'all are together. Well done!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Really appreciate that Debra! Have a blessed 2023!
Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you for all the great information on this amazing place
Hey Jymn! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and your family is off to a great start in 2023! Looking to get the uploads going again. About 7 left from 2022 and then, Lord willing, some nice trips in 2023. All the best to you!
Informative!...thank you
These people are great ❤
Really encouraged by your kind words!
Merry Christmas! God Bless you and your family.

Appreciate that, David! Hope a great 2023 for you!
Great historical video.
Thanks much, Martin!
My 7th great grandfather was here.
Really cool! These guys were indeed American heroes!
@@AmericasParks He was injured at Monmouth and was in bad shape the rest of his life. I'll make it up there sometime. Hopefully it'll be cold and painful.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Have a great 2023, my friend!
I was just doing research and found out my family through my great grandma are the Potts family Pennsylvania Quakers and they owned Valley Forge at the time and the potts family mainly issac potts built the house that george washington stayed in and the potts family owned and operated and expanded the forge
Great video from the whole family👏 Happy New Year💥💥💥
Thanks much, my friend! Hope you guys are off to a great 2023!
Great video! Come see us at Washington Memorial Chapel next time.
WOW!! Shane has really sprouted. Having said that; cool video and history lesson. Take care and happy new year.
Thank you very much! Yes, Shane it putting on some height which is indeed helping with his basketball interests! :)
Wishing you and your family a very happy New year friend!
Thanks and all the same for you and your wonderful family! May 2023 be filled with safe travels and great memories!
Wow, it's been a little while since you put out a video. Hope you had a nice break and spent some very good quality time with your family. I remember learning about Valley Forge in history class, and it was really cool to see what it looks like now!! I will have to come here one day since it's so close to Philadelphia! Thanks for sharing, Randy, and I wish you and your family a Happy New Year full of adventure!!
So worth the visit, Eric! Fascinating history and a beautiful location. Have a blessed 2023 my friend!
Amrica's- love it-so good view! ;))
Thank you!
It would have looked so different in that area with 1000 of those log "homes". It's been a while since I've been here, and I think I learned more about the area through this video than I did actually being there! Great job! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your entire family!
Hey Josh, hope you guys had a great Christmas! Took a little break from YT, looking to get back into the swing. Have a wonderful new year... filled with safe travels and super memories!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2023!
Much appreciated, Grant! All the same to you and your loved ones!
Happy New to everybody ❤️ 🎉
Thanks and have a blessed 2023, brother!
