What a beautiful cemetery for our nations leaders and hero’s!! Thank you Jordan for another wonderful vlog!
What a beautiful cemetery for our nation's leaders. Great job on documenting our country's history. This is definitely on my bucket list!! Thank you Jordan!
I spent over four years in The Old Guard, taking part in hundreds of military funerals. It wasn't until I was about to leave that I took the time to speed walk through and appreciate Arlington, taking plenty of pictures for a final project for my US History course. I conducted a few dozen more funerals there in 2018, including the first internment in the Millenium Project Expansion--two Unknown Soldiers found at the Manassas Battlefield. It's a somber but inspiring place.
Also, for those wondering about the Soldiers in horses in front of the Sailors, that is the US Army's Caisson Platoon. They take part in every Full Honors funeral regardless of service branch.
There's a lot more to see, including Pershing, Audie Murphy, a few of the Iwo Jima flag raisers, David Hackworth (semi-controversial but a true hero and great author), the Confederate Section (where a Soldier that shares my name lies), and the grave of Leslie Coffelt, a White House Police (later incorporated into the Secret Service) officer who helped to stop Puerto Rican nationalists from assassinating President Truman.
I could write all night, but it seems that Jordan mostly stuck to the west of the Cemetery for this vlog and I hope to see a follow up with more. There are numerous memorials, the oldest burials are in the former rose garden of Mrs. Lee on the grounds of Arlington House, the spiteful Quartermaster General of the Union Army and founder of Arlington National Cemetery, Montgomery Meigs, is buried in the section near Old Post Chapel on Fort Myer (I believe this is where Abner Doubleday is buried as well), and of course Section 60 is where many of those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried, including a number of my friends. Finally (for now), Admiral Boorda, the first Sailor to advance from enlisted ranks to become Chief of Naval Operations, is buried in Section 64. He took his own life when his wearing of relatively minor valor awards (if there's such a thing, but this was a Commendation and Achievement Medal, not the Navy Cross or Medal of Honor) was called into question by David Hackworth (mentioned above).
Okay, I'm done...on to more RUclips.
Wow! Thank you for all that. I don’t see myself ever being able to visit this amazingly somber place, so it’s fascinating to read about those buried there.
I love it! Thank Jordan for this beautiful heartfelt tour of Arlington cemetery.
“The House” you referred to is “The Robert E. Lee House.” Let’s call it what it is. Thank you for taking us on the tour of the most hallowed grounds of our country. 🙏🇺🇸🙏
It's actually called the Arlington house by the cemetery..
@@DazewithJordantheLion .....it’s actually Robert E Lee’s house. His family left before the Union troops got there and the Secretary of War decided to start burying Union dead there so the family would never want to return. Years later Lee’s son sued the government and won. He took a settlement over removing the bodies
That was beautiful that you were able to see the funeral of a military person go by you ..amazing pride just walked by u...wow
Hi Jordan, what a nice cemetery. I have always been intrigued by the Kennedys, I was surprised to see John, Bobby, Ted and Joseph buried so far apart, I thought they would have been all together. Great vlog Jordan.
Jackie & Patrick are with JFK.
A lot of times if they are illegible they can pick where they want to be buried in advance if it hasn't already been spoken for.
Jordan, I'm glad you made it to this cemetery. A lot of our country's history is buried there. Excited for you!
Thank you Jordan for doing this interesting and worthwhile vlog! I loved that story about Ted Kennedy and Shelley Winters LOL. On a side note, Robert Todd Lincoln had a beautiful summer home in Manchester, Vermont called Hildene. It's now a museum, and if you ever wander up to New England, it is very much worth a visit in the summer or fall. Definitely vlog-worthy!
A absolutely wonderful journey , what a excellent job Jordan Ty for taking us along...I have always enjoyed your amazing Camera work and editing. Much appreciated Cheers Jordan n Jah! Luv&Peace.
Oh my Jordan this is the cemetary vlog of cemetery vlogs!! Arlington is so impressive!! So many historical figures there! I was impressed with the Thurgood Marshal and RBG graves because they were such huge pioneers for civil rights and women's rights. The Kennedy Graves were so simple. Nothing fancy at all which was surprising. Bobby and Ted very simple markers. I think its so sad Bobby was killed he would have made a great president. He was a champion of the poor and civilrights and it makes me sad that the ones who actually want to do good are assassinated. I hope one day that changes. P.S. I thought that procession that you caught on the video was cool. I wonder who that was they were taking to the grave?
A place I would love to see, I guess you could say, it's on my bucket list. Thank you, Jordan! 🌼
Even though it's sad to see a Military funeral. It was incredible to see and the memory will last a lifetime for you.
I stood there at Kennedy's grave back in 1976 when I was a traffic scout (crossing guard) in elementary school. All the scouts in Scioto Co. Ohio and surrounding counties got to go at the same time on Greyhound busses.
Very cool! I was there in the late 80s. JFK's grave wasn't very well maintained when we saw it. Overgrowth of grass between the stones and the flame was barely going. So much to see and do in D.C. One of my favorite trips I ever took. So much so, I went there twice!
That’s exactly what I thought. It was a shame to see that
They just recently did a multi-million dollar reengineering of the Kennedy gravesite. It was falling apart. There is a RUclips video on it.
@@MarkM58 Very interesting! No wonder it looks so much better.
Glad you were able to capture a procession. I have a family friend and her daughter buried there, The daughter, Sam Huff (and not an abbreviation, her name was just Sam), was offered a modeling contract for The Gap company at 16. She graduated from HS a year early and was the band's drum major. She told her parents, she wanted to enlist in 2004. Her recruiter thought she was crazy. 5ft tall and barely 100lbs. She did enlist at 17 to an MP company. In 2005, she was assigned to Bahgdad. She was a PFC and scheduled to man the 50 cal. Her commander instead has her drive the HMV as they escorted a dignitary from the city back to the airport. An IED went off right under the driver's set, causing severe injuries. She told her Sgt, while waiting for evac, "Tell my mom I love her and my dad to make his music." She died the following day, 2 months shy of her 19th birthday. Her mother and my childhood friend passed a few years later. A former Marine of Vietnam, she is buried with her daughter, Section 60, Site 8109.
This is such a wonderful series of American Presidents and heros of the world who believed all American should be united as one not segregated like Medgar Evers . I have to give Shelley Winters story the thumps up 👍thanks for sharing it s quite the story Jordan had me in giggles . This was a great idea 💚👍
Beautiful vlog. Lovely place for these people to rest. Can't wait to see what more you have to show us. Thanks for bringing us along. Stay safe and take care.
Spectacular visit, I was there in the early 70’s, an honor to be amongst such hero’s, ty Jordan🤗
Jordan, my father is buried in section 62 there at Arlington National Cemetery and I was issued a parking pass to drive on to the grounds. Limited people are given access to visit.
Thanks so much Jordan. I've always watched everything about the Kennedys. love documentaries . You're the best. :)
2 friends I served with in Iraq are buried there. Thanks for the video, Jordan!!!
Thank you for your service!
Was there last week I'm handicapped was barely able to make the short treck to Kennedy resting place thanks for filling in all the rest for me
A point of interest, in the military you always carry the body feet first. You could tell that by the flag. The blue field with the stairs is over the left shoulder.
Thank you for this very informative video. I have childhood memories with pictures of the eternal flame at the President's grave.
Visited Audie Murphy while there. Amazing cemetery.
Not too many people know about Pres. Taft! Great job bringing that out along with Robert Todd Lincoln!
Starting following you a long while ago but this by far is My Favorite Vlog!! Thank You!!
💋Great vlog! Loving all these historical vlogs. Some amazing people laid to rest there. Thank You for your hard work Jordan bringing excellent content. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Great vlog I am so glad that you did this vlog I have aways wanted to go there can not wait for the next vlog
Awesome video! Proud to say my dad's buried there. 🇺🇲
Very cool!
I've been to Arlington and it is quite emotional.
Thank you very much from Spain 😌☀️🌟
hey Jordan, jah!!❤❤❤ continuation of seeing the cemeteries!!! thank you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you!!!❤❤❤ peace ✌ out!!!!❤❤❤
I've been there many times and just had a family member buried there. Quite the ceremony on the horse and carriage. It's a beautiful and well maintained cemetery.
Jordan and Daze. i very much enjoy your videos. You do a very good job and you really make them informative. Thank you.
I’ve always wanted to go there. Thank you for taking us there Jordan 👍
One day I want to visit Arlington - especially the grave of Jack and Bobby. ❤️🥀 Greetings from 🇩🇪
I always wanted to visit Arlington, but was never able to. I was 10 years old when Kennedy was assassinated. My Dad had worked in the Massachusetts House of Representatives with him. I will never forget the funeral that followed the shooting or the lighting of the eternal flame. Anyway, thank you for taking us with you, Jordan. Excellent video.
Great tour of the Arlington cemetery, very interesting indeed to us Brits.
So well looked after. Very good
and thanks for the trip.
Thank You Jordan !! It Was Excellent You Showed So Very Meaningful Great People Of Our Government And Strong And Rightful Things They Did For The People Of Our Beautiful United States Of America.
Arlington is an amazing place. I have been there many times and I live in Canada. The first grave I went to see was John F. Kennedy..my fave section is 7A where Lee Marvin and Joe Louis are buried.... a very beautiful place. The first time I was there I met a veteran who was visiting his wife's grave. Do take lots of water!
Jordan - I am so appreciative of you doing this video. I don't know if I'll ever be able to physically make it to Washington to visit. I am glad you showed not just the Kennedys but some of the older presidents and justices, etc.. I know that Maureen O'Hara is actually buried there. Isn't your home state the home of the most number of presidents? Have a great day, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
That's a beautiful comment Judith..Hopefully one day you will get to go. Have amazing day. 🙂✌
@@1SeanBond Thank you kindly Sean. Have a wonderful day as well and Merry Christmas 🎄
Love this, Jordan. Thank you for another great vlog❤
Very informative video Jordan. The graveyard looks very beautiful and large. It looks really nice how the line up. Its really nice that the family can be buried together.
Thanks for sharing your first time with us.
What a beautiful day you had for this visit. Joe Kennedy Jr. is actually not buried there, his body was blown to bits over the south of England and was never recovered.
Jordan,, this vlog was awesome ! My friend , I live in montana for 31 years But from NY. I was 10 years old when JFK. Was shot have been to Arlington national cemetery countless times it was only 4 hours away from where I lived back then, I remember the first time I saw JFK s grave it looked nothing like it does now.. There was a mound of dirt ( I think) with a lot of military hats going in a circle around the flame. It looked cool, the first time I saw the grave was in 1965 with my school on a field trip. Back then we also toured the WHITE house ( imagine them letting people in now ? ) things have changed do Look much since then. Last time I was in Washington was 2011 .not to sound like Bob Hope ,, but thanks for the memories !!! Frank from montana...
I saw a video on the tube a while back that showed that JFK'S grave was actually dug up and moved. It was done in the middle of the night and Bobby Kennedy was there. If i'm remembering right I think Bobby had them open the casket.
The reason they did it was because of the eternal flame. To start with the flame was hooked to a propane bottle but I figure they probably hooked it up to natural gas.
I also found a book recently on how all the presidents died and where they are buried and it told about them moving his grave.
This is such a peaceful place. It took me 3 visits to see it all.
When Robert Kennedy grave wasn't going to be covered until the next day because of the late hour Bobby Darren stayed next to his grave all night.
These History Vlogs are definitely my fav. :) Cannot wait to see the next video.
Thank you for the education on a lot of different people
What knowledge. Edgars deserves to be known today. This tour made me remember the forgotten names.
One of the sadest times in my life besides 9/11, the days and following when the president was killed. I still tear up when I see videos of that time. I was 15.
This place is more like a museum. Thank You for sharing.
I believe cemeteries that honor our past leaders and our vets, are a fitting tribute to these men and women. We live in FL, and my Husband and I, will be buried in one also, as my Husband is a vet!! I remember the day President Kennedy died, it was the first time I ever saw a nun cry. The sad part of Patrick's death, in the 70's, there was a new drug to help with pre-term lung problems. I also remember the day Robert died! Ted was my Senator before I moved!! This family as a whole, have given their lives in service to this country. The Special Olympics was created by Eunice Kennedy Shiver, in honor of her sister. I watched RBG help create many laws to help women! Roe vs Wade became law one month after I was married!! TY to all who have served our Country with honor and dignity!!
Thank for taking me Jordan
I've been there twice. Great place. Watch the changing of the guard. It's cool to watch.
I went there myself in 1992, so much history, the mansion originally belonged to Martha Washington’s grandson, then his son-in-law Robert E. Lee.
I never thought I would see the day that you would show my relatives. Not only that but you showed them first. I am a extended family member of the Tafts. William married my family member, Helen. Helen was either my many times great aunt or a distance cousin who acted like an aunt. Here the thing that many historians got wrong. It was believed that they started courting in their home state of Ohio. It wasn’t. They were publicly first seen courting in Ohio but they actually started counting in New England because they both had family members from there. My family had own this house and it was in my family for many generations until my great great grandmother died (I am pretty sure she would have been the last generation in my family to know William and Helen). But at this house there’s a cemetery and only my family members can be buried there. William and Helen apparently had plans to be buried there before it was decided that they would be buried at Arlington cemetery. Even though they are not buried at my family cemetery, they still have headstones there because they are still family. While my family no longer owns this home, we still have access to go onto the property to go to our family cemetery.
Thank you Jordan ! Lots of memories of the Kennedy Family.
American Royalty .
Jordan, this is my second favorite national park. The only other park is the Grand Canyon. I love the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Thank you!
Happy holidays Jordan and Jah 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️
Loving your DC series. I want to go back and see it all again. I went in high school for our senior class trip…but that was a long time ago and a pretty whirlwind trip!
Thank you for sharing wonderful memories of the Kennedy family. American royalty
Hey Jordan, The house with the pillars on the hill above the JFK grave was the South's General Lee's home. His property was confiscated by the North during the war and obviously made into a cemetery for those who served. It was either his father or grand father who fought in the Revolutionary war. Great video.
Yes, I know... but they kept referring to it as Arlington House everywhere, so I didn't bother saying either because no matter which one I say, someone will find the need to correct me.. which gets beyond obnoxious, so I just called it the house..
Thankyou Jordan, history is so important!
Yes, a great question as to why the Kennedys were given so much space when many of our fallen military can't be buried there due to lack of space.
I just loved the Kennedys. Jack, Bobby, and Teddy were the true Democratic politicians. RIP to all three of them.
wow. i got to visit there with our seniors, we did the Trolley. i highly recommend the Tomb
of the unknows, change of the guard is amazing.
Great vlog Jordan thank you so much beautiful cemetery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
who ever that was RIP. I've always been impressed by the Kennedy's. was like in 2nd grade when JFK got shot. thanks Jordan for this .
Beautiful job, Jordan! Beautiful place. Thank you, you rarely disappoint...like this video...what was that at the end? The ceremonial parade with the riderless horse and the casket...is that a clip from JFK's burial?
No, it was a burial taking place while I was there..
@@DazewithJordantheLion Thanks for the response. That must have been a heart rending experience.
I plan on visiting a lot of the places you vlog. Watching your videos helps me develop a game plan. Thanks Jordan
I love your cemetery vlogs! That was great! I can't wait till tomorrow!l love your stories you share about Shelley Winters! Take care❤
Famous Marine R Lee Ermey is buried there too,section 82 grave 54
Great vlog !
Your History videos continue to be amazing, thanks.
Thank you
This was such a beautiful video Jordan it was so amazing and i am glade you took us on a tour of such an nice place and it's part of our history thanks Jordan keep up the good work, luv the sunglasses.
I’m surprised the Kennedy brothers weren’t buried beside each other.
maybe they didn't get along.
Visited when I was 14 which sucks because I couldn’t appreciate it the way I do now. Great video as always!
Robert Todd Lincoln has a place in the family vault/crypt in Springfield & that's where he wanted to be but, his wife HATED his mother/her mother-in-law, so out of spite, she had him buried at Arlington.
I've always had a bit of a fascination with JFK. It was cool to see his grave and the eternal flame, which I had only seen in photos before.
Very cool, I went to visit there in 1989 on my fifth grade class trip to Washington DC
That was awesome Jordan love following you on your travels stay safe
I'm amazed the Kennedys are so far away from each other
Gorgeous cemetery!! A most EXCELLENT Vlog as always!!
i hope you had a great time up here in my neck of the woods wish I knew you were here would have love to met up with you
This video could have been an hour long and I would have loved it.
I love it 🥰
Was that Dole at the end?
I have a family that used the Fathers name for there son’s twice. Like Lincoln first son died so then could not carry on his Father full name. My family member I’m talking of said it is weird to see his name on a grave.
(Older brother). I want to say Jacqueline’s baby came to early that’s why he died. Then she lost her Husband 3 months later. Heartbreaking
I’ve never seen these graves before Except on tv thank you for showing them to us
Beautiful cemetery. Another great vlog!
This is definitely on my bucket list of places to go. JFK's probably my favorite president and interests me the most. It's really sad what happened to him and RFK. JFK could've been an even better president and RFK could've been a great president too. Wonder who the funeral procession was for at the end.
All cemeteries are holy ground and unique but this one...oh my. You walking toward a lone grave - "That is Bobby" - heart-tugging.
The house on the hill was the home of Robert E Lee until the outbreak of the war between the states. It was a working plantation that was seized by the government when Lee left to take command of the Confederate army
Interesting!
Did I miss it? Is son John Kennedy Jr not buried at Arlington too, with his parents? Great vlog otherwise. It's wonderful that Jordan is taking us to see some of the national landmarks that we all have heard so much about, but seldom get to visit.
I think John Kennedy Junior was cremated and his ashes scattered at sea
Yes, his ashes are in a great whites belly
JFK jr.‘s ash is burried on sea between Martha‘s Vineyard and Hyannis Port.
We have a thurgood marshall elementary school in Chesapeake Virginia
