Join us as we uncover the heart of the past, explore the memories that still linger within the walls of this historic home, and pay homage to a war veteran and the sacrifices he made for his country.

I am a retired Navy Veteran, and I watch your videos quite often. I felt compelled to thank you for your respect, and kindness, for a person's property, veteran or not. The Vietnam Vet in this video was with you every step that you had taken in his home. The concern you had for his life well lived, and honor you displayed toward his life and service, are commendable. You were raised right, Leslie, and the work you do means that memories will never be erased..even when the material things are gone. It is a nice, and beautiful thing you do, and I thank you.
Thank you to all veterans who've served our country. God bless you all!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our nation 💜
I love bros of decay watching from philippines ..❤❤
As an American, I want to thank you for honoring the military veteran, Fred, in this video. It’s perplexing as to why the family members just abandoned this home and all the wonderful memories and belongings inside. I believe from the Father’s Day card is an indication that he was loved. I wish this lovely home could be restored. He was a very neat man. He kept his home clean and his clothes were folded perfectly. This is a wonderful video. Thank you and Lesley and Danny for sharing it with us.
Wonder if his son passed before him 😔
Yes,thanks for your respect. I'm thankful for all military, esp Vietnam vets. I am also curious why the family has left everything for so long. His military belongings could be donated to a military museum....gone, not forgotten. I salute him.
@@nicolad8822 I imagine they obtained someone 's permission. The "Brothers" respected them by how they treated the items and through their words.
@@kathymatson5819 Because it’s sentimental to them? Who’s paying the electric bill? Its a different world. What if their job is 2 hours away and they don’t want to rent it out? People don’t abandon cabins in the woods. They only come and stay for portions of the year. Any place with electricity is being cared for by someone. Notice you won’t find this comment in the 500 left. Only 499 of people saying they don’t care and if they did they would sell everything and get rid of it?! Who does that to their loved ones? One’s who don’t care and only about money..
Wonderful tribute to one of our protecting veterans.
Dear Fred may you RIP and thank you for your service ❤ you will never be forgotten thanks to Lesley and Dan
I love how respectful Lesley & Danny are in the abandoned houses. Rest in peace Fred
That Buick Grand National is worth a ton of money. Those cars are big with collectors and enthusiasts.
Looks like it's not just a Grand national it has the trim of a GNX
@@michaelpung4121 So $80-$150k car just rotting away there crazy!
The Buick GNX is worth mega bucks 🥰
@@dmcentYT in that condition its more like $10,000 Its gona need a full restoration
It seems weird this house wasn’t put into a trust or life estate or something to that effect? Otherwise, how is it that you’re able to just go and barge into it without permission? Why no writ of replevin from the state, for its yearly taxes due for example? Even if there were no liens left behind such as if this house had no mortgage payments owed on it, still someone has to eventually claim it. In a situation like this with no children taking on the role as trustee wouldn’t the state just take it? That’s usually what they do in most places in the United States. Either way even if he had no bills left behind which was impeccably wonderful. The government needs to be notified so that they or someone from there can get the ball rolling, start cleaning it out, putting the mementos in a storage facility, and then getting it remodeled, and auctioned off or something via a judicial sale where a real estate company can buy it and sell it. I’m confused about this kind of thing.
I'm also a veteran and I can't thank you enough for taking the time, capacity and care in honoring fellow veterans like you did for Fred (and others you've documented in the past). It means the world to me to see this. The Father's Day card nearly obliterated me with its message as well as your thoughtfulness when displaying and viewing his military memorabilia. He was obviously a dedicated father who also kept up with his technology far better than most senior citizens do these days! THANK YOU for being conscientious and thoughtful in these explorations. Again, it means the world to me to see the respect and care you perform in these. Herer's to many more explorations and discoveries!
I'm always sad to see an abandoned house... a house full of memories, how can a child just forget the house of memorieswhere we were born, raised with our beloved parents...?
Tears fell & my heart smiled at the same time. I'm a veteran of U.S. Army as well. Great job. You are always so respectful.
Your presentation was OUTSTANDING!!!! i am also a veteran of 22 years, both US Army and Air Force. Thank you for honoring this veteran's house!!!
You are always so compassionate and loving towards these people and their properties. Love you Lesley and Danny. I bring you into my home and life each week and I am truly fascinated by all of these places.
I would like to see if I could get this house to buy, How would I get in touch with the family?
In the United States it is common to have two living rooms. One is called the family room where most of the family resided. The other one is more formal for guests when they would come over.
That's the difference between a family room and a living room
Down South, we call the informal room a den, & the more formal one the livingroom. 🤗
@@peytonweb That is correct. We call ours a den.
What a beautiful touching story. Thank you Lesley and Danny for showing so much respect.❤
The story is absolutely beautiful here. Hi Teresa how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
No wonder it doesn't look abandoned! It's only been abandoned for 5 years. This is by far the best exploration channel on RUclips
thank you fred for your service. my dad was in vietnam.may you both rest in peace
Same here. Hi Susan how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
@@andychris7647 we"re all doing good. covid has bypassed us thank God. how are you and your family doing
@@susanrodriguez1982 sounds great,I am doing good with my little family as well. Do you like we text through via email so we can get to know each other’s as well?
Out of all the homes you've ever explored, I've never felt so much like I would have liked to know the owner. This man, Fred, just seemed to be the best of men -- humble and simple -- but so obviously a man of integrity and goodness -- and so loved. I wonder if his family is just still mourning and can't bear to disassemble the house. It may just be a symbol of their loved one. I get it.
This was one of my favorites! Fred thank you sir for your service. My father retired from the Army as well and served in Korean and Viet Nam wars. Thank you Lesley and Dan for this video and for your respect towards Mr Fred! Be safe! 😘
So sad that no one claimed his things,thank you for your service Fred 🇺🇲
Same here I feels so bad about it. Hi Lisa how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
Hello Lesley and Danny! Very cozy house 🏠 😌. Sad the son never return for the persona items of his Father 👨. Interesting the history of Fred . I am hope one day return 🙏 🙂 for them. Thank you for your exploration and one big hug 🤗 😘❤☺.
It's really heartbreaking that the children and grandchildren. Didn't even care enough to take the memories with them. They just left it all behind and left it sit I know some vet trends do have PTSD but it does not make them a bad person or un loved. This is just really heartbreaking May he rest in peace
The Keys still hanging up pulled at my heartstrings 💔❤️
I will never understand why the family would leave their parents home like this there is so much there if it were my father I would love to keep and not just rot away
Most likely fighting over it and the estate is keeping the power going, sadly.
@@Chahlie they should cut the power off they would be paying some sort of charge.
Makes me sad...they made the house seem LONELY 🤔🤷🏼♀️🔮💜💜
@@Chahliehe only had one child. Maybe they didn’t get along. I hope that’s not the case. I would want my fathers war items
Maybe it was to hard for the son since seems that they had very good relationship
Great vid.I have a soft heart for Nam Vets they where no given a fair chance,they should have been given a welcome home parade.Shame...
Sir i would like to talk. But i do not have the program Telegram.Only have e-mail.I enjoy your vids,Thank-you.Terry
I love what you did with this one so much I was smiling with tears coming to my eyes. I’m an American veteran and was so impressed with not only the respect but sheer excitement you showed on this tour, which made it thrilling for all of us. You made my heart sing with this one. I am sure Fred was smiling and laughing watching you narrate his home life and he was probably yelling, “turn the TV to channel 3 first to make the video player work” but you couldn’t hear him. Keep up the great work. When I pass, I would be honored for you two to explore my home. 😊
❤️
Leslie, thank you so much from Florida, USA. I have enjoyed watching your videos for a few years now. You have a wonderful talent of capturing the story of the home. ❤
….🌟This One Really Touched My Heart, MayBe Because He Was A Viet Nam Vet ~ May Mr. Fred Rest Peacefully🌟🙏🏻….
In States the Veteran Tags are called by every soldier I know as Dog Tags. It carries their personal info on it including their social security number. I truly enjoy watching your adventures. Thank you for the respect you show to the house and to the lives that were lived in the house.
Hi. Sorry I just saw your message here.
My father served two tours in Vietnam. Thank you for the respect and care you showed to Fred.
What a beautiful home Fred made for his family, a victorian farmhouse type, what a sweet life they must have shared. Old Americana style. Back during that era , boys could join the service while still in high school with their parents permission. What a beautiful letter in the Father's Day card. The upstairs wood walls had a log cabin feel about it. I think Mr. Fred kept a nice home.
Thank you Leslie and Danny for sharing with us once again.
It's so sad that the family hasn't come to claim his belongings and the has. A beautiful house.
So true that makes it even more heartbreaking 😢
They left the power on so maybe they come visit it the way he left it.
Kia......
It's possible.
Hey Bros! Lesley and Danny! Beautiful house! Interesting documentary! Thank you so much for this amazing video!!❤❤
Such a lovely story you both told it is sad that none of he's family members wanted to have his things my father passed away in August and I am looking forward to have some items of his he was 96 and went to WW2 I miss him I didn't get to see him but talked on to he phone RIP Fred 🙏❤️🐈 Melbourne Australia
It’s such a wonderful video to watch. Hi how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
I love the way you have so much respect for these houses and the families that lived in them.
I so love watching you touring homes. The feeling you have for doing this just comes through to me. Thank you so much.
It's funny how some families are. I would give ANYTHING to be able to go back and visit my childhood home. If the choice had been mine, my Mom and I would have stayed there, but circumstances beyond my control caused her decision to move in with my sister and her wicked husband and so I had to move too. I knew it was a bad idea even as a teen, and my fears were well founded.
Your narration is like a bedtime story 🌃
That card was so sweet and beautiful. What a touching video. How nice that man had such good memories of his father. It's so painful to lose a beloved parent. He must have left everything untouched so as to keep those wonderful memories alive. Must have been so hard for him 😪 We were never meant to die and be separated from our loved ones.
Hi Leslie, great video. The tower on the computer screen is called the Space Needle and is located in Seattle Washington.
Thank you for honoring one of our American Veteran's.. Vietnam Veteran's didn't get no respect when they came home from Vietnam the reason why I know this I have a brother who served he told me how American's caused and through dog poop on them calling them baby killers.. Bless all who served their Country and their God I'm war time and in peace time God bless them and their families and bless those who gave all their lives that we can be free.. Thank you one and all.. Thank you for showing respect to Mr.Fred and his family and home his belongings.. God bless you and your friend Danny.. 🙏..
Thanks! Loved it.Take care Lesley and Danny!!
Thank you for the lovely way you showed this house concerning the owners and their military service. Lesley and Danny you are amazing! However, I hope I am not the only person who feels a little offended when you use the name of Jesus Christ. We must remember that He too, fought for us, not just our country. And through Him we have life everlasting. It is not a name to take lightly.
It bothers me.
His son must have been totally heartbroken not been able to come bk to the house too much pain god bless him
I want to thank you Leslie for all the respect and reverence that you gave to this veteran. I was in Vietnam as a volunteer field nurse fot 7 months. My brother, a proud Marine
3rd/7th was KIA in Quang Nam and I returned home with his remains. People have no idea how hard it was to come back to the states with all the ugliness on the veterans from Vietnam. i love that house, I have had a lot of that furniture and decro-da, so that was a trip down memory lane. It was very pleasant to reminiscent about my family members that has gone on without me. With love and much appreciation from me to you, Leslie. ❤
Hello Lesley and Danny
Sr.Fred era valiente...que ganas de ver su casa que habla de el y su vida!
Thank you for all your Videos of Abandon homes I truly enjoy watching your Chanel 🥰 because there’s always a STORY TO TELL and you do it quite well, you also do a research and tell a story with a background music 🎶 and it makes it that much more interesting, I also appreciate how you guy’s respect everything in the homes 🏡 truly a faithful subscriber, keep up the good work and keep ‘em coming 😊 Hi to Danny and stay safe out there guy’s 💙💚
The television's need a booster box to function properly. The care you take in homes is amazing. The honor you showed the vet.
The television is amazing. Hi sherry how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
I have so much Respect for this people who risks their lives to to find Peace for the world. What a beautiful soul and places, stay safe.
House was kelp immaculately clean at one time.Thank you Leslie and Danny for showing it to us. Leslie, please be careful about taking the Lord's name in vain, I know you don't mean to, but it becomes a bad habit.
I really wish this guys family would come get those very important and sentimental things from his house. I can’t imagine leaving my parents home like that to ruin with the antique furniture Especially that secretary
Same here. Hi Veronica hope you’re safe from the Covid?
The sad thing is that when people watch these episodes they find out the address of these houses and then you start getting horrible people go there to steal and ruin that beautiful house. Hope you don’t share the address or even the city and country your in when you explore these homes, cause it would be truly sad if that house has the wrong people go into that home and ruin it all!! I must say this is truly a fantastic abandoned home.❤
Dont worry. I dont believe you are gonna even get any kind of an answer from Lesley or Danny if you ask them for street address or even city of any place they have urbexed. If some vandals or thieves living within walking or bicycling distance (those who have drivers licence are too old to be vandals) happen to watch this and recognize that place, it is bad luck that cannot be helped.
@@Cybernaut76 But he showed the plates of the car, someone can trace that easily if they know how to go about that. Trust me, someone who knows cars will try to find that Buick Grand National, very sought after car.
@@jerrywilliams8733 Well, a lot of those smart enough to do that, are too smart and mature to sink to the level of vandalism, I would guess. But still, I agree with you that Lesley and Danny were terribly unprofessional not to pixelate the plate. Thieves will likely do their research on that plate.
@@jerrywilliams8733 Also, if you are American and it seems like I am speaking ignorantly in some points, please forgive me but I am neither a citizen nor inhabitant of United States. Instead I am from one of those countries that will soon be allied to you provided Hungary and Turkey agree to ratify our NATO membership. From a country where only the police has the resources to trace people according to their license plate numbers.
Absolutely loved this house totally amazing,you respect everything in your video's stay safe guy's xxx
Awesome video, thank you for your service Fred, may you rest in peace. x
Hi, great content. The little wood niche that you thought might be a password to the kitchen, it was a feature that many older homes might had. It is for an old school dial telephone. 🤓
Hi,Linda it’s absolutely a wonderful video to watch. Hope you’re safe from the Covid?
What a touching episode. It is obvious Fred and his family took pride in their house by the way they took care of it. The little space on the wall of the second sitting room is for a telephone. Houses and apartments built during a certain era have them...even here in Canada. As for basements, you are correct. Basements are possible in cold climates because the ground is more stable, therefore less chance of shifting. Your empathy towards the people of the homes is always so touching.
Thank you , ❤ lovely LESLEY AND FRIENDS,, GREATINGS🌄👱♀️👍👁️👁️from the 🇱🇺🇱🇺🌎🌏☯️🇱🇺🇱🇺
Yes you really show so much respect and your late grandfather was very lucky to have a grandson like youxxxx
as always just wonderful ~ thank you... keep being you.. stay safe much love from eastern OregonDear Fred may you RIP
Thank you Fred and Family for allowing us to learn about your life. RIP God bless your family.
Wauw wat was dit een mooi huis om te zien.
The house was very nicely kept when Fred was alive. It's nice to see that his home hasn't been raided by thieves and vandals. With all the homeless people we have here it's even a sadder situation that the house sits empty and left to ruin when it could be given to a homeless family to start over and have a safe place to live. I hope his son will come and take care of his fathers belongings and do something with the house. It needs some TLC to bring it back to it's former glory. It was a beautiful find and I enjoyed seeing it.
Could you please tell me what county the Johnson's farm is located?
Good evening Another magnificent résidence👍👍 thank you for this moment🤗🤗🤗 see you soon 👋👋👋👋
Thank you for sharing this with all of us, this one was a really cool one! Enjoy watching your videos!
It really wouldn't take much to salvage that home. The family needs to get over there, and recover his personal items, and get that place into condition for another deserving family. It really is sad to see family related neglect when "loved" ones pass away. Thanks for sharing this.
Guys thank you for sharing these sad stories with us. I find it heart breaking that his son and grand children did not care for his belongings. Could you please in the future pick up items from the floor and at least put them on a table if the house is not messy but just a bit ransacked. I wish I could come with you guys. I would be cleaning up places worth saving.
Alguém com meu pensamento! Eu organizaria o que fosse possível 😅
A very special home, with so much. What a place. Thankyou Leslie and Danny.
You brought tears to my eyes several times. This was very emotional and I love the way you treated everything with such honor and respect. Thank you Lesley and Danny ❤
Thanks from video. Amazing place and also sad place... so much memories and modern things left behind.
Wow! So elegant inside! Amazing!
Watching from, Philippines!💕
Lesly and Dan thank you for this piece of history . You be safe and always enjoy your videos 😊 🙏🏼
This is so heart breaking. I appreciate Bros of Decay for keeping his memory alive, and always having such respect for every place they explore. Bravo, fellows, and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your respectful attitude toward Fred and his home. This is a home and not merely a house. I could feel the warmth and love coming through the video. So nice to see a truly good man. I am moved.
You are so respectful and kind. I agree, sad but thank you for sharing. 💕
Aparte de ser una bella exploración usted sabe transmitir el asombro los sentimientos que tiene con cada objeto que va describiendo eso es una gran cualidad para un explorador....saludos
Also, thank you for the respect you showed this man and his family during your exploration of his home.
Beautiful warm feeling home that was ones full of life and very well looked after when the owners were alive great video guys.
Leslie your amazing as always and so loving and caring of our military men who served for our countries freedom.
I love the respect and honor you both have for the homes and the people as well as the emotions you display. I think what you do is commendable and I hope you continue to preserve these memories and history for years to come.
Thank you Lesley and Danny. I've mentioned this before but I SO enjoy the way you guys work together. You make such an enjoyable team. This is a cozy little house that I have to believe is visited on occasion by the family, maybe the son. He obviously loved his Dad and maybe it's just too painful for him to clear the place out. Thanks for showing it to us. I can't wait till the net adventure.
I agree with you, that was the best explore so far in the USA. Thanks for taking us along.
Love your videos, still you bring me back in time. What a beautiful and lovely home, love the natural wood cuz it's very homey atmosphere. What you got me is the letter from his son , so very touchy. Very obvious that they are so loving family it reminisce what a loving father he is. The house it's worth to keep with full of memories of a great person and a loving family. Thank you Lesley and Dani for another great video. From the Philippines. God bless ♥️🙏👍
Excellent photography and portrayal of the homes
I love the respect and honor you both have for the homes and the people as well as the emotions you display. I think what you do is commendable and I hope you continue to preserve these memories and history for years to come.❤
What a lovely home!
I suspect he left all the decorations from what his wife put up.
This video was done so very special and with great respect. My husband was in the Navy during the Viet Nam War He was in the US Navy Stationed in the Tidewater area of Norfolk Virginia. he was on a Destroyer Ship. We were married during these times in the 60's early 70's. . He did travel many places in the Mediterranean area.
Mr. Fred looks like he was such a very nice young man during that time and am sure during his last years. He did evidently have Asthma or COPD, and this is typical home of that era. It looks like they kept it all the same mostly.
The basement is very typical too of this colder area. The Northern aria of the U.S. His son loved his dad so much and showed such respect. It looks like his dad left everything just as it was when he needed to leave quickly or was found? his son evidently never came back for his dads 'Dog tags' or anything else and did not realize a few of the items may one day be beneficial to hold on to? Sounds like they had a nice life together, and it is sad the wife passed away so young. She must have loved nature and flowers. You did such a good job showing all of the ways the videos etc work and the technology. Can truly see how you both did truly enjoy seeing this home. Cannot believe how his Buick good sit outside and the neighbors are respecting it to leave it alone like they have. They were a richer car in the day and a heavy built one that would hold up to high winds etc. Very well made.
Thank you so much Lesley and Danny for showing respect not only to their home and all they had during their years there but also his life. He was not too old when he died. I do not feel as it looks like he would have maybe been in early or mid 70's when he passed.
You were so respectful to this wonderful human and his Home. I'm speechless. Thank you for this ♥️.
It is so sad that his son or grandchildren can't take over the house as he love it so much thank you for showing us
Thank you for such a great exploration. I really loved how when you are doing the exploration both of you treat the house with respect. Also what I enjoy is that you never give the address of the place. I am sure that whoever owns the house appreciates it. I can't wait to see your next adventure.
I think this has to be among one of my favorites from your USA series. I just love the beautiful story of Fred, his service to our country, and deep love for his family. I just have a hard time understanding why his house and belongings are abandoned. That beautiful car sitting out there, rotting away. I can see from what you found in the house, this man was %1,000 military to the marrow of his bones. God bless him for that! I wonder where his family is, and why they are leaving everything of their father behind to decay forever. I know I could never do that if it was my father. I would have kept every uniform.....everything. That's how you show you're proud of them and appreciate them. Thank you, Lesley and Danny, for the honor you showed to this great American serviceman. You both did a great job as usual.
I’m so happy how you respected Fred. A sad story. Really nice explore. I subscribed.
The little shelf area you thought might be a pass through for the kitchen is a telephone nook. Before cell phones this would be where your home phone went. Top shelf held the phone the bottom shelf the phone directory. Thank you for sharing...
Hi hope you’re doing well?
thank you for showing the buick some love! im surprised it hasnt been messed with, given how long its been sitting.
Someone has stolen the tail lights as they are different for a Grand National vs a regular Regal of the same trim
Truly An Amazing Time Capsule, One Truly Amazing Video. LOVE IT......ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT IN THIS AMAZING VIDEO
thank you for being so respectful
Thank you guys you are awesome 👏 and very respectful with all the houses really love you guys and also you respect the people their memories with such love
Hi Leslie. I've watched alot of your program's. But this one has has really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing. ♥️♥️♥️
Your my fav urbex explorer....you are always so respectful and genuine...thank you for sharing your amazing videos with us...i was so excited when u were exploring in Canada...maybe someday u will come to nova scotia...keep doing what your so great at doing❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful home 😍sad story. You and Danny did awesome job 👏 thank you for sharing 🙂
Hi Lesley, it is so lovely that you honour the Veterans. This home is in pretty good condition. Fred's son should get the personal items before someone steals them. There is some valuable antiques and furniture there. I agree with Lesley that it has a lovely atmosphere ........... full of love. OMG ........ that looked like bars of GOLD to me !!!!
The photos are beautiful, the boy is very good looking. It did bring a tear to my eye to see the Formal Uniform. Thank-you boys.
I cannot understand why the son doesn’t at least donate things he doesn’t care about. I don’t understand why the son chose to disrespect his father by letting all of his memories die and not be honored.
@Not here I don't believe he intends to disrespect his father. His son may be so hurt from his passing that it hurts to relive the memories when he is at the house. When my mother passed away it was really hard on me. So hard that after the funeral it was really hard to go back into her house and take that final look of her home. I could picture her still cooking, watching TV, sleeping in her bed, sitting in her favorite chair. Everywhere I looked I could see and FEEL my mother. I could see her walking in the yard and greeting me with a hug and kiss on my cheek. I knew that was the last time I could visit her home because my heart hurts so bad. Going to a gravesite is completely different. There are no childhood memories at a gravesite. Not like at home. I said my final goodbye to her home because I was happy where I lived and had no intentions of moving to her house. My sister took full control of the house and is now in the process of selling it for the money for herself.
the son may have pre-deceased fred.
This place had lots of love in it very warm and cozy. Interesting car. Thank you both
I love the emotions that you show.
