Thanks!
The only woman I know about was molly Hatcher I believe. They talked about in school
Great episode. Kansas City has a wonderful WWI museum.
Here in INDIANA we love our HISTORY. FYI the youngest to serve in the Civil War a Boy from Indianapolis last name Black (a drummer) I believe his age was 7/8 his Drum is at the Indianapolis Children's museum he was injured in the war he later died several years later they believed from traumas from the war (now some of my facts are possibly off because I have had a stroke). The museum does have the drum & it is in storage right now but they take it out from time to time. IT is so important that we remember these wars/conflicts the things & of course these people so we don't repeat history. GOD BLESS YOU ✝️🇺🇸💖🚜
He's buried in Morristown. He's grave is close to a relative of mine. I love our state and its history!
God bless you sir.
God bless you sir.

Winston Churchill once famously said: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. We're about to now live with that specter.
That quote comes to mind often these days.
Well, if you’re going to quote a famous quote, you should get the person that said it correct, it was philosopher and poet Jorge Santayana that said that.
@@solotraveler6025 2 people can't say the same thing?
@@blobgooll9395 you’re not the brightest bulb in the marquee are you? Sure more than one person can say it but if you’re going to use it in the as in the context above, you should get it correct. But I get it, if you have a third grade education I wouldn’t expect you to understand that.
@@solotraveler6025 Right back at you, sport. Because the context it was used in was the same as the verbatim quote. The OP never said Churchill coined the phrase. He said that Churchill once famously said it. Churchill is much better known than Santayana and it was relevant to war when Churchill said it. Don't try to outsmart yourself, internet scholar.
My husband died 8 yrs ago, he loved history. I learned so much history from him, especially about the wars this country has been apart of. He would have enjoyed your channel. I'm glad I found you. Once again I'm learning about history. Thanks
The fact you had to disclose “I’m not a hitler sympathizer” I’m sorry you have to say that lol
Any true basic history nerd can appreciate the lessons we can learn about evil. So we don’t repeat it!
Great video!
Ha! You wouldn't believe some of the comments that I get (lol)
@@TheHistoryUnderground I could believe it. People’s attitude towards history is truly Ignorant.
Let’s forget the past so we can make the same mistakes again. Lets forget the sacrifice made by so many young soldiers , Marines, sailors and Airmen to right USA and worlds mistakes. So we can lose more of our Sons and Daughters.
Your videos are great keep up the good work
The flags and symbols of WW2 Germany are parts of history.
Well We the People are about to discover there is Not A RCH difference between nazi and communist governments
I agree. It’s really too bad you have to bother explaining. People are stupid.
Hey, this is my area! Nice to see you visit the Hoosier State!
Loved my time there!
My area too!!
Same here! Always enjoy watching videos that take place where I live
Mine too... 👍
Hoosers for life 🤙
As stated from some of the other viewers, this was an excellent tour of a museum I had never even heard of. There is also a noteworthy military/history museum a couple of hours away in Vincennes, Indiana. Great work J. D.! Keep up the great work!
Definitely want to check that one out on the next trip. Thanks!
@@TheHistoryUnderground that museum is called the Military History Museum and I know you'll love it.
I never knew of that one!!!!
@@turtle19dad Yup, it's pretty good. The building right next to the museum has a set very similar to that of the bombed out village at the end of Saving Private Ryan. You get the feel you are in the movie.
There's a set of stairs (at least the last time I went) that has framed lists of Hoosiers who fought in WWI. One of them was my grandfather. It was great to see the museum again!
Great tour of an amazing museum here in the Hoosier state. It is good to know that IN has so many monuments to outstanding veterans that have made this country what it is. Greetings from a fellow Hoosier up North in Fort Wayne.
If you have never been to fort ouiatenon in West Lafayette Indiana you should really check it out. It was used during the French and Indian war here in Indiana. It's a really fascinating place.
Spent the night in a Tepee there about 45 years ago. My pops is into native american artifacts, was fun.
@@1989Falkor if you've never been to the feast of the Hunter's Moon that's an annual event that's held there every October. It's very interesting and I try to go there about every other year.
I've lived within 30 minutes of the memorial my entire 28 years and I've never been there. I will most definitely go very soon. I hope you enjoyed my home state.
👍🏻
Same here. You beat me to it
I actually work at the Indiana War Memorial! We’d be happy to see you there! It truly is an amazing place!
Well I have to say JD that was amongst the best of the museums you have documented so far on this channel. Nice job.
Thanks!
There's a really cool park in Battleground, IN where the Battle of Tippecanoe happened. It has its own museum. Each year, Lafayette hosts Feast of the Hunter's Moon, focusing on the French traders and trappers that came up the river. Really cool festival!
There might be an episode or two coming from there in the near future 🙂
The feast of the Hunter's Moon is awesome. That is every October if you're interested. Other than last year it's been going on for about 30 years.
The Battle of Tippecanoe happened in what is now Battle ground Indiana. There are many trails that you can walk as well as the museum, the large monument and you can see where certain people fell during the battle.
I've been there many times.
@@TheHistoryUnderground That would be awesome! It's a fun festival - tons of great history and great food! Battleground is just plain interesting!
Hands down the best war museum that I've ever been to. I had the pleasure of visiting there about 3 or 4 years ago when my son was playing for the Indians. So glad you were able to show it on your channel.
So sad that so many sailors of the Indianapolis suffered and died, all for the "Greater Good". May they rest in peace.
The 19th Indiana, the first of the regimental flags shown, was part of the famed Iron Brigade. That flag saw Antietam, Gettysburg, all sorts of smaller engagements and other battles im forgetting, along with many GAR meetings after the war. Real grateful that that flag still survives!
🇺🇸
Welcome to the Hoosier state, where we hold in high honor the past & current members of our military. I hope you enjoy your time here! The battles of Tippecanoe & also Mississinewa should be of interest to you.
Loved my time there! Can’t wait to come back. I’ve got some more Hoosier content coming in the next few weeks.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Awesome, I’ll be watching for it!! 👍🏼
@@TheHistoryUnderground hope you had the opportunity to visit the Battle of Tippecanoe memorial and battle site in Battleground, iN.
Ernie Pyle's childhood is located in Dana, IN.
@@kennethcurtis1856 - You might like the next two episodes that I’ve posted after this one 🙂
Thank you for telling the story of the Indiana War Memorial Museum. It is a jewel in the crown of the State of Indiana.
There were two survivors of the Indianapolis at the American Legion I go to , past away now. One of them I got to know pretty well and he told me not in detail but what it was like after the ship sank.As a vet myself I thought I'd seen some things but I was wrong
I visited recently, and I heard that the families of the survivors have a yearly gathering, and this year, they've moved the location of that gathering so the last surviving vet of the Indianapolis doesn't have to travel.
My mom loved Ernie Pyle. When she came to visit us in Hawaii in 1989, she took flowers to his headstone at the Punchbowl cemetery. One of the great journalists of the war.
🇺🇸
Thank you for the tour, I live in Northern Indiana and never heard of this museum. Going to have to take a road trip.
Definitely!
You will not be disappointed! It's beautiful and will leave you with more Hoosier pride! I also leave in north part of the state. Well well worth the trip. Go visit the Scottiah Rite Building close to this War Memorial the tour is fascinating.
The Indiana State Muesum and the museum on American Indians is awesome its down on south side of the circle downtown by the NCAA college muesum..seriously take a long weekend two trips each and enjoy all that Indy has to show.
I knew a Pete and Jean Higginbotham that were in Wolcottville in the 90s and in Huntington later on. Any relation?
Allen Higginbothem, Stop by the American Legion Headquarters 700 North Pennsylvania Street. They also have a large museum.
@@tracyhaynes5404 Not sure, but probably a distant relative
Dr, Gatling lived on and had his shop on Meriden street, the first time the Gatling gun was fired was in his shop.
He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery.
Another MOH recipient from Indiana as Frank H. Ono. Frank was a second generation Japanese American who served in the US Army in WW II. He received the DSC for actions in Italy, and was later awarded the MOH after a review of records was made. More details can be found on his wikipedia page.
HEY THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE KOREAN WAR ARTIFACTS WITCH MY DAD WAS A KOREAN WAR VETERAN WHICH I FEEL MUSEUMS NEVER SHOW A LOT ABOUT THE KOREA WAR SO THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THAT AND GOD BLESS
Absolutely. It’s a shame that more attention isn’t given to those men.
It’s a shame..Korean war deserves to be remembered, the fighting was nasty, our troops fought very hard & deserve our total respect same as WW1 & WW2 vets received. I remember years ago reading a book written by a Korean War vet & he served his tour & came home & some guy from his small hometown asked where he’d been & he said “fighting a war”. Crazy. Grateful for your Fathers service.
Yes my father was there in the 50s. Don't no what years he never would talk about it till I was eighteen and kinda cornered him one night his eyes glassed over looked into my eyes and said softly " it was hell" RIP dad
The music you've picked fits perfectly with the reverence and tone, respect and honor this video piece demanded. I also like your subtle pauses here and there that allowed your audience to have a moment of silence so we could say our silent "god bless these men" thoughts. These videos, the lodging, food, gas, travel, misc ... all of it must have come dear to you. On behalf of us all, thank you so much for all the hard work, planning, countless hours on the internet and in books doing research, all of the untold efforts, thank you.
That is much appreciated. Hopefully, the channel is doing some good and giving people a resource to share with others and get them into history. Thank you.
Very cool museum. I'm about 4 hours away. It would be a very long day unless I stayed overnight. I could spend an entire day there. Loved all the guns. That's what started me collecting military memorabilia. Thanks. I might have to visit one day soon.
Awesome! I was drooling over a lot of what they had in there.
Thank you again, for providing more important and interesting information. America has good and bad history. It all needs preserved. God bless.
Well said. Thanks.
Welcome to the Hoosier State! Vincennes has a Great memorial to George Roger Clark. Lots of history for and inland state from the start of our country.
Interesting! Thanks!
@@TheHistoryUnderground Vincennes also has the Indiana Military Museum. Some great pieces there.
@@TheHistoryUnderground
If(When) you get to Vincennes you need to continue south on US 41 and stop by Lyles Station in Princeton and LST 325 in Evansville
I'm a Nam vet and was in Indy so I stopped at this museum, took my brother in law. Spent hours going from room to room. Time well spent.
I can't imagine being a telegraph delivery boy during WW2. Imagine pedaling up to a house knowing that you are about to ruin someone's life.
Never thought about that.
Was here yesterday for my bro’s commissioning ceremony - the museum is incredible. 1 hour was not enough and I’ll have to go back.
Several years ago I had friends that worked at the memorial. All those that work there, do an awesome job. I was lucky enough to see behind the scenes. It’s just as impressive, maybe even more. Medal of Honor/Sammy Davis is one of the nicest and humble people you’ll ever meet. It’s great you can give acknowledgement to the memorial when so many young people are trying to destroy our history.
I was definitely impressed. Hope that the video compels people to go visit.
Sad that you have to disclaim that you're not a Nazi sympathizer. Crazy the world we live in now.

I know a little about Tippecanoe, both Harrison presidents were my Grt. grandfathers, many times over. Don't make me go look how many times, LOL
Got some Tippecanoe content t coming very soon.
We may be cousins then because I am also related to the Harrisons.
@@aylaeh Sorry, I just now seen your comment. Yes, if your related to the presidents, then we are cousins. My Grandfather was Benjamin Harrison, born in TX, died in Oklahoma., brothers, twins Charlie, and Noah, and several more kids. I think Tabitha was there mother. I have all the info. on them, but would have to look it up. Good to meet more relatives.
Indiana has a lot of history here. I'm from Indy and live in Indy. I've seen places you couldn't dream of in the State.
I’ve been to Indianapolis many times to visit friends but never made it to this war Memorial, so it was good to get a glimpse of what was inside. You always do a great job of letting us feel like we are taking a tour. You give us enough background to know what we’re looking at, but you also do a good job at not over explaining the items.
Thanks! I try 🙂
I live in Illinois a couple hours from Indianapolis. I never knew they had a place like that. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info!
Definitely!
I lived in Indianapolis twice. Great museums there including the Newfields art museum, State of Indiana Museum, Indianapolis Historical Society, Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis Children’s Museum, Conner Prairie Village in Noblesville. Outstanding. All of them. I drive from Florida every other year to see all of these over a few days. I will go anywhere for a great museum.
I am also one of the lucky few that have been able to visit Iwo Jima. My group walked into a cave and there was nothing but stacked up empty bottles from flame throwers just sitting there corroding away. There was another cave that had nothing but smashed and broken radios, both Japanese and American. Walking along the black volcanic sand beach were the invasion happened, with every footstep you are dislodging bullets tips, empty cartridges, shrapnel fragments. While going into the caves and dugouts, you can run your fingers in the tool marks left in the rock from the Japanese soldiers and Korean laborers. Awe-inspiring and bone-chilling at the same time.
Oh my gosh. I'm wanting to visit Iwo Jima so bad I can hardly stand it. I understand that there's really only one day a year that you can go. Is that right?
Once a year fro February 19 to March 26 when the battle was fought Americans are allowed to travel to Iwo Jima. However, the island does have 3 things going against it. 1. It is a Japanese possession, Iwo Jima and Okinawa were turned back over to Japan in the mid-1970s. 2. It is an active Japanese Coast Guard-Self Defense Force station. 3. I believe Iwo Jima is declared a war grave due to the 19,000 Japanese and 7000 Americans still buried and missing there. It’s a somber reminder of what the Americans went through to take the island, and what the Japanese went through trying to defend it. Crawling through all the underground tunnels it was a constant 90+degrees F due to the volcanic activity of the island. No fresh water to be found anywhere on the island. All the memorials to the Japanese soldiers still there are all littered with Saki bottles and cups of water. The top of Mt Surabachi isn’t that big. Maybe 12 to 15 feet wide at the most and maybe 75 feet long before you drop off the edges or fall in the crater. The whole islands smells like rotten eggs too.
Tours and when the island is open is controlled by the Japanese government and is difficult to get approval to go there.
I was born in Vincennes, Indiana. That is where Fort Sackville was located. There are many historical things to see there, including the George Rogers Clark memorial and the William Henry Harrison mansion.
Wow. Great museum. And that Cora helicopter. Brings back memories. I had a model as a kid of that cobra. Fascinating museum. On to the next placeJD
Absolutely!
Man that museum is phenomenal!! Love your vids, God bless from South Africa
Thanks! I really enjoyed the visit.
I served in the U.S. Army from 77 to 79...that museum was great...I need to get up there.
It’s worth it!
Man, you crack me up when you talk about the guns/weapons! 😆 You remind me of Tim "The Toolman" Taylor when he sees power tools! I'm waiting for you to do some grunts! Love your videos, and yes, I appreciate the weaponry as well, being a veteran myself.
😅
Thank you for your service!
Well done. Started this yesterday, Veterans day, thanks for turning on so many lazy Hoosiers (Indiana native) to its existence. Mom took me when I was 7, 1964.
That's why the Third Division is referenced ad "The Rock of the Marne". Excellent video
I've met Sammy Davis, he spoke at my BIC graduation ceremony. Great guy, and was truly an honor meeting him.
Oh wow! Nice!
It is tragic that ignorant people would prefer to erase history rather than learn from it and move on.
The father of my 3rd cousin was a survivor of the USS Indianapolis tragedy. Seeing someone speak about it while visiting my hometown is pretty neat. I hope you enjoyed your trip here and got some Hoosier hospitality!
growing up in indiana i went there many times with my young marines unit even got to do firewatch one day after an event, walking through there at night is an experience.
That would be cool.
The mast for the USS INDIANAPOLIS submarine is located at the Indiana Military Museum in Vincinnes, IN. That is another fascinating military museum the state has honoring our military.
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!
@@TheHistoryUnderground That one will blow your mind! It's awesome.
Liking this doesn't do the justice this video deserves! I'm greateful for you taking me on such amazing tours through history. Thank you so much!!!
🙏🏼
@@TheHistoryUnderground also if you're ever looking to see some very cool scrimshaw you should come west to California and check out the General Patton Memorial Museum Chiriaco Summit. There's also some cool tanks and info on Patton and ww2. Much love from coachella valley! (Keep up the amazing work)
There is a free museum in the base of the Soldiers & Sailors monument in Downtown Indy as well that’s pretty interesting. You can also climb up steps on the inside of it to reach an observing point at the top. Tight fit but cool to do once.
I’ll have to check that out on the next trip. Thanks!
@@TheHistoryUnderground the museum is unfortunately closed for remodeling due to the base slowly becoming uneven and flooding.
It's a shame we live in a world full of people who don't understand context, or just looking for a reason to bring someone else down. You shouldn't have to explain yourself over enjoying the German artifacts. Enjoy your content. Thanks for what you do. Stay safe in your travels friend.
You wouldn’t believe some of the comments that I get 😅
@@TheHistoryUnderground I bet! But my personal opinion is that you never owe anyone an explanation for their own ignorance. Just be you. 👍
Yes, Ernie Pyle is buried in Honolulu, in Punchbowl, cemetary of the Pacific.
I really like your series. Don't stop.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting. Wife and I visited this facility several years ago. Her dad was a plank owner on the USS Indiana. Served aboard from 4-42 thru 11-44. RIP Ken.
I'm a Hoosier I lived in Indiana all my life I live in Lafayette Indiana. I've been to Indianapolis several times and. never knew this museum existed thank you so much next time I get the opportunity. I'm definitely going to head down there and. Check out that amazing museum.
Awesome! You’ll enjoy it.
@@TheHistoryUnderground I don't know if you are already going to be visiting this museum. But I highly recommend going to the Indiana military museum. They have quite the collection and. Another museum I recommend called the American Huey museum. They have three are worthy Huey's and are restoring several others.
I live in Indianapolis and I really appreciate this video. Something that might interest you. There is another very impressive war museum in Vincennes Indiana. It's huge. The grounds in front of the museum(which is two) buildings is covered with aircraft and even the complete conning tower of the USS Indianapolis. Behind the buildings is a completely trench system where they hold war reenactments. I'm pretty sure sure it's called the Indiana Military Museum. They even have one of only a few remaining Higgins boats that was actually use in Normandy on D-day. I highly recommend you check this place out.
Ive been scrolling through the comments to see if anyone mentioned that very museum. To which you have. Its an awesome place, with a huge number of artifacts, vehicles, aircraft, and relics, from nearly every conflict the US has been in. It was absolutely fascinating, and I really enjoyed my visit. Happy to see it was mentioned! (P.S. I was told that everything in the museums collection, was from a single man!)
That looks like an extremely interesting museum if I am ever in Indianapolis I will definitely want to go there thank you for showing it very interesting.
My 3rd great grandfather was in the 7th Indiana Volunteers and was wounded at the battle of West Point, Virginia in 1862. Though I live down south now, I'll always consider Indiana as my family's home.
Wow!! So much history and that was only one museum.
Right?
I loved this museum!! Indianapolis is definitely a place we all should visit .Thankyou History Underground. 🤩🤩🤩
Excellent video as always. You never have to include a teaser to watch to the end, once you start watching your hooked. At the end you want more. Thanks.
I'm from Muncie Indiana which is named after Chief Munsee !! I love this history of my state . But I love the country of indiana I live out in the sticks and keeping it that way
I live not very far from the Battle of Tippecanoe and it's a really interesting place to visit. And while in that area you can visit the grave sites of Confederate POWs, Prophets Town and Fort Ouiatenon. And if you keep up with Purdue, you can catch some exhibits for Amelia Earnhardt and Neil Armstrong.
Thanks! I hit the Tippecanoe sites but will need to come back and see those others at some point. Thanks!
@@TheHistoryUnderground Lafayette, IN use to have a Confederate POW camp but now it's just homes with a plaque. They worked in canning tomatoes.
Lafayette also has greenbush cemetery which has about 15 unknown Confederate soldier graves. They are right alongside the sidewalk. They died as a result of a train crash which at the time was the worst train crash in US history.
My grandfather had a patch collection. It was 8 ft tall by 12 ft wide by the time he passed away. His friends called it the million dollar wall. Sold at auction to a private collector when he passed
Wow!
I'm subscribed today, You earned it and asked for it. I'm already commenting throughout your channel. You were at 97.7K before I subscribed and are now at, let me see, 97.7K. Congratulations.
Oh wow. Thank you! Appreciate that.
Would love to hear and learn more about the Korean War. The so-called forgotten war is very interesting to me and also to hear about the WW2 Vets that also went to Korea.
As always, wonderful episode.
That is a world class war museum. Well done Indiana!
Finally something worth watching via my recommend!
Fantastic video! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
I really enjoyed watching this vlog and I couldn't help but to think of my late husband who would have loved to see this as well. It was him who got me into history in the first place and has *several* of the items you showed in his room. My parents live up near South Bend so the next time I head up that way, I will be sure to stop at the museum and think of my husband. Thank you for doing this vlog.
I think that you'll really enjoy it. Plan to spend more time there than I did though :)
I live in the Indy area and this is a great, no charge admission museum. It’s a hidden gem in our downtown.
Love vet bring backs too. I have an iron cross that was "liberated" by a British officer in July '45 from the Reichs Chancellery.
Wow!!!!
You're right across the river from where my cousins live in Kentucky; my cousin timothy works for Toyota out of Indianapolis
Nice!
@@TheHistoryUnderground i just shared your video with my cousins in Kentucky & also my relatives in Texas & told them they should go check out the museum
I spent a good 45 minutes in the Shrine Room alone, when I visited a few years back. The craftsmanship is awesome, the alter breathtaking and the symbolism as powerful as the acoustics. It’s clearly designed as a resonance chamber, it felt like a whisper could echo to the heavens.
Shared this with several friends and relatives. Extremely interesting. Very much enjoy your channel.
Awesome! Thanks!
The Benjamin Harrison home is just north of downtown Indianapolis. You would really enjoy a tour of the 23rd POTUS' residence. Harrison was born 10 minutes from my home in the Village of North Bend, Ohio. He is buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery just south of this vintage residence. Nice video, JD!
Got a bit of content with those places coming up in a few weeks 😁
I had uncles that fought in WWII , one was in the Battle of the Bulge , another was a crew chief of a bomber named the City of Wichita which he was from Wichia , Kansas! Oh he also help put more powerful engines on Doolittle Raiders planes ! My dad fought in the Korean War and was a POW ! Some cousins fought in the Vietnam War and another cousin was in charge of some of our troops in Grenada ! I was in during that and the Iranian Crisis ! My youngest stepson served in Iraq and Afghanistan !
Just binging your "older content" today.
I had my Eagle Scout Court of Honor at the Indiana War Memorial, that place is amazing.
I live in Louisville now but Indianapolis will always be a special place to me
A very interesting museum! Especially, the part of WWI, Château Thierry at home!!!😉, and the part 09 11...moving.!very good museum, thank you!
Thanks! That WWI display was impressive.
As a kid and as an adult I visited this place scores of times. I also brought both my sons here. I loved the aircraft engines they had on the lowrr level.
I have to say, as fascinating as the video is, the "shrine room" really got me. That is absolutely beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.
The first time I walked in, I couldn't breathe
@@trottheblackdog oh man, I can only imagine! I know I was in awe just seeing it in the video......and I've never been there in person.
"If you're ever coming through Indianapolis..." LOL! If you are driving across the USA, it is damn near impossible to avoid Indy, unless you head way south first. The city is like the spoke of a wagon wheel.
Sorry, I just noticed my error. The city is the hub, and the highways are the spokes.
Indianapolis is like a wagon wheel. And Washington DC highways looks like a ball of yarn that a cat messed with and threw on the floor.
The Nazi banner, as well as the display items dedicated to my grandfather (Robert Dorsett), were donated by my family a few years ago. I always try to visit whenever I make it back to Indiana. Thank you for showcasing!!
I moved out of Chicago 14 years ago to Indiana and this was the best thing i ever did...besides being born.
My two sons and I were in Indianapolis 2 years ago for the 500. We where down walked around the monument
Never new they had a war museum inside and I have lived in Indiana my whole life. Thanks for sharing
That museum is very impressively put together. I would like to go there some day. Thank you for the video.
Yeah, I thought that it was very well done.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Have you ever been to the WWII museum in New Orleans? It has been a few years since I was there and, from I can tell, they are always adding to it; it is also very nicely set up. The last time I was there, they had WWII veterans that were at D-Day giving tours and telling their experiences. I could have spent all day in there but I would have been looking at a divorce. Anyway, thank you for your comment and I really do like the content and the aerial scenery on many of your videos is absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to the next stop.
Thanks for stopping by.
Great video! I have relatives that cover 6 different wars, Our two sons are fifth generation U.S. Army veterans. Our youngest son and his wife got married there at the War Memorial in the chapel. The ceremony was amazing!
Monument circle next? I LOVE the amount of museums in that area. We could spend an entire weekend just visiting museums in Indy and still not have enough time to see everything. Make sure you take all the stairs at the soldiers and sailors monument, the view is worth it.
Another great museum tour! It looks like a great place to visit, not too far from my mid-Missouri home. Will definitely add to my must see list! Thanks for these outstanding videos!!
Thanks! Definitely worth visiting. And free!
Someone stole his MOH in 09
Apparently recovered the next day.
I have lived in Indiana for 26 years! I have never known that that museum existed. I can’t wait to go! Thank you so much.

Absolutely awesome video, thanks for sharing... hope to see your channel make it up to PA someday. Take care and thank you for what you do

Dang, JD- we're about 20 minutes North of Downtown- wish we would have known you were here- would have taken you guys out for dinner! You need to head North on 65 to Prophetstown by Lafayette and then down South to Vincennes. You'll enjoy both! Take care and safe travels.
Oh dang. I thought that you were in Texas 😅
I plan on coming back at some point. There a bunch of stuff that I didn’t get to.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Moved back to Indiana to get my M.S. at Ball State, met the Boss Lady and the rest is history! Pun intended. I'll be in touch.
Really enjoyed this video. This proves that history should be preserved. We can learn so much just by visiting places like this. I'm really into anything regarding the American Revolutionary war.
My girlfriend works at Family Life Ministries. They interviewed one of the last survivors of the U.S.S Indianapolis. Very powerful interview.
