This Country has lost its way from Honoring our Fallen Heroes.Thank you for sharing the importance of our past Military Personal. Best of health to you both.
Thanks William. While there is a segment of our country who hates its traditions and military and police, I believe the vast majority of Americans - the great silent majority - still honor our men and women in uniform and our war dead. At least I hope I am right.
The flame of freedom was fueled with their tomorrows. Never forget, and never let that flame go out. We owe it to them.
We’re not doing our troops justice for their horrible health issues after service in the Middle East and housed next to fire pits filled with human waste, jet fuel, tire and every other type of trash. The VA refuses to recognize their cancers and other illnesses. Some 700K are being allowed to suffer and die.
@@ronlheureux7623 This is exactly how I lost my dad. He developed epilepsy as well as a plethora of other diseases, which also led to a brain hemorrhage. He had to take a forced medical retirement and he went downhill from there. I lost him 3 years ago, on September 28 of 2018. You are absolutely correct that the VA did barely anything for him beyond the treatment of a few of his conditions as they officially did not recognize the burn pits as a cause of the issues. My understanding is that they are just now starting to acknowledge and recognize the issues that vets are suffering from due to the chemicals and other hazardous/biological materials that were burned in those pits. Too little too late in my opinion. Not to mention, we have truly no legal recourse or ability to take legal action as most of the pits were operated by Halliburton and other contractors who have immunity to lawsuits as granted by the military and government because it happened during a war and/or in a war zone.
One person gives a shit about our sick and dying veterans??? Any BS comment made by any airhead gets dozens of likes here. WTF?
This episode got my attention right away as my father Thomas Edwards who served in WWII and Korea is buried there. Thank you for honoring those who have served this country.
What a wonderful timely episode, Jeff and Sarah! Our national pride, our military and our freedoms are under attack right now. We must remember we are the greatest symbol of freedom on earth and we must remember the men and women who died to give us these rights. As usual, the amount of details and backstories are amazing, Jeff. You are an amazing historian.
Good afternoon Jeff. This video was interesting but also, bittersweet. One of my closest friends in high school was layed to rest there in December of 1965. Robert R. Bohler was KIA in Vietnam on 10 December 1965, he was only 19 years old. After watching this video, I Googled Bob's name and two pictures of him came right up. I don't mind telling you, memories came flooding to the forefront. I couldn't see for a bit, my wife must have been chopping onions in the kitchen.
Ft. Rosecrans is situated on a very beautiful site.
Thanks again for sharing this video with us.
Stan
You are exactly right, freedom is not free an it seems like it’s always under attack. Thanks for doing this segment. Humbling indeed.
I’ve been there and it’s very humbling. We owe so much to these individuals. They believed that freedom is more important than life itself. Thank you for this great episode!
Thank you, Jeff. Freedom always comes with a heavy sacrifice and I believe people have lost track you this
I cried when i first went to Normandy at the amount of graves i saw but this was just as heartbreaking if a little more. Such sad History but very well done Thankyou Jeff and Sarah
4:39 Things Not To Say in a Cemetery: “So, it took a little digging …” 😳
Another interesting & educational video!
Oh that is hilarious. I didn’t realize how it sounded.
I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, lived in Sandy Eggo for years, moved to Modesto! I’ve been to the cemetery and it is such a wonderful and beautiful, peaceful place. Thanks so much for your wonderful episode
Darn right freedom isn't free. Thank you for this heartfelt episode.
Thank you very much, Skimmer!
As a former marine (Desert Storm era) I really enjoyed this episode. I never visited Camp Pendleton, rather I was Stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C. With 2d Marine Division and since I’m located east of the Mississippi River I did my basic training at Parris Island, S.C. It was nice to hear some history of the west coast history. Beautiful cemetery and nicely taken care of with a gorgeous view! Thank’s again and keep up the great work and catch ya on the next one! Take care now! Frank from Philadelphia, P.A.
Semper FI.
@@jerrysullivan8424 👍Semper Fi to you too brother!🇺🇸
Never a former Marine, just not on active duty.
@@gregsayre4700 Ooooorah! I like that sir! 👍
Take it from me, you're not missing much. Unless you really like running up and down some nice size hills.
Thanks Jeff and Sarah for this video honoring those final resting places of our military at Point Loma. It is one of the most beautiful places in California, if not the world. I became familiar with it while attending Point Loma Nazarene College (now University) as a music student back in 1973-75. Also next to the cemetery is the Naval Electronics Lab on the point. If you were there long enough, you might had seen dolphins and/or whales off the point. I can imagine that would have made Sarah very happy. You always make my Sunday mornings that more enjoyable……..Russell D.
I was blessed to visit this beautiful cemetery. My husbands Grandfather and Grandma is buried there. He just passed at age 102 … he was career Navy. My uncle Skip is also there. I’m from New England so it was so nice to visit the west coast 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸. Your videos are amazing. There is no better storyteller. Your the best 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Sorry for your family's loss Diane, and thank you all for his service 🙏 ❤️ R.I.P SIR
What a great tribute Jeff and Sarah to all those who gave all! Thank you!
Well concluded, Jeff. Too many people forget the sacrifice of others for their freedom and current lifestyles. We must never forget. Thanks for this tour! It's a gorgeous location for a final resting place!
My aunt and uncle are buried there! Right down by the water, I was standing at the grave and something told me to turn around and a bright light pierced the sky, shooting down to the water and I knew it was the ancestors saying hello!! I can send you the pics, it is truly remarkable.
So glad to see you in San Diego!
What a cool piece with Schirra...you honored his memory and that's how we stay eternal. The uncle buried there came through in a psychic reading by a medium on stage...he said my uncle thanked me for keeping his memory alive. It's too woo woo for your channel but it's clearly evident to me they communicate.
What a beautiful video to honor those who served so bravely. Thank you Jeff and Sarah!
There is a definite meaning behind coins left on a grave marker: a penny is left to signify that you paid your respects; a nickel means you went though basic training with the deceased; a dime signifies that you served with the deceased; a quarter, the most important, means you were with the individual when he died.
Tom Manion, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EXPLANATION of the coins. I don't think we can be reminded enough these days, just how costly freedom is and always will be‼️🙏💕 GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY.
🇺🇸Thankyou so much to all the men & women that serve our country, may God bless you all.
My son-in-law’s remains are buried at Rosecrans National Cemetery. He was killed by an ied In Baghdad 20 June 2007. We visit his grave every time we’re in San Diego. So many brave men and women are buried there. Thank you for doing this video. You have such a good way of sharing history. Many Blessings to you and Sarah.
So sorry that you lost your boy. I can’t imagine your grief and loss. What a brave son. He answered the call and gave all. Blessings to you.
Ron Cross, sorry for your loss. AMEN 🙏 ❤️ God bless you and your family!!
My fathers buried just north of the Bennington memorial.
On Memorial Day they put markers at the graves of Medal of Honor recipients that have explanations of how they got the medal. I broke out in a cold sweat reading many of these. Incredible stories
This was excellent. Thank you so much for calling attention to this National Cemetery, and who and what it represents, Jeff and Sarah. ❤🤍💙
We appreciate your sentiments Rhonda! God bless the USA, greatest nation on earth and we hope she remains that way!
Thank.you Jeff for remembering so many of our heroes who sacrificed it all!!! I pray it wasn't all in vain!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍 ‼️❤️
Been there for 2 Funerals, I have manned the rails many times in my whites on the ship coming back into port and saluted that cemetery!!! Thank you for you all your support of the military. God Bless.
In 1974 I was in boot camp in San Diego and spent all of 1975 at Camp Pendelton. Thank you for this program. we will be buried at the Leavenworth Kansas cemetery, which is behind the VA in Leavenworth.
cool way to start a Sunday morning before church coffee and History Hunters 🙌🏻👍👏🏼👊🏻😇🙏
Thank you Jeff and Sarah.... Cemetery tours are Always emotional, but so very much Worthwhile.. these honored will never be forgotten as long as we remember them..
thanks again
My favorite cemeteries to wander thru are national cemeteries. Definitely fascinating to learn more about Pendleton, Carter and the others. Those old boilers and gun turrets were really dangerous. Thank you for giving us a tour!
Thanks Rhetty! I always wonder if you’ll watch and you did! So many stories in each grave … wish we had those details to share! I will watch your latest one today! I was gone all weekend for Sarah’s birthday!
@@jbenziggy Oh tell here Happy Belated Birthday for me!
Thank You Jeff and Sarah for letting me go along on your visit👍😊
Sunday morning : coffee, History Hunters, church then brunch. Check, check, check, check. This was a sober reminder of the folks we need to be so thankful for. Great episode Jeff... Happy Birthday Sarah!
Thank you, Jeff for the tour of Fort Rosecrans. Such a beautiful place to have a national cemetery. The Pacific Ocean on one side and the San Diego bay on the other. I had no idea that Joseph Pendleton was buried at that cemetery. As I was watching you focus on the grave my eyes were on the wall behind. The reason being is that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are interned in the wall. My father-in-law’s father (WWI vet) is buried there, too, but in ground. I hope to see more episodes of the San Diego area.
My biological father (I was adopted by another Air Force Vet) died in traffic incident and was buried in Fort Rosecrans two years after I was born. I got to visit his burial site for the first time several years ago, and it overlooks a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Every time I visit and stay at the Naval Lodge on North Island Naval Base (I'm also an Air Force Vet) I look up and see where he lays in rest.
Thanks for showing! It is the beautiful and peaceful place ! My in-law buried there.... now no more ground burial...all cremated
Great job Jeff. Thank you for honoring the men, women and families that sacrificed so much. Freedom isn’t free. Be safe all
Thank you Sam! It’s the very least we can do is remember our fallen servicemen and women!
Thank you Jeff and Sarah for another great way to start my Sunday ! A cup of coffee....cat snuggled in my lap and a history lesson ! Doesn't get any better than that ! Looking forward to the next adventure ! Thank you !❤
Sounds like you’re enjoying fall where you are! Thanks for enjoying our time together!
Any trip to San Diego should start with a trip out to the Cabrillo National Monument for some of the most spectacular views of the city, bay and ocean. Then on the return trip a respectful stop at Ft. Rosecrans Cemetery will be awe inspiring with its history and beauty. I was lucky to be stationed just a few miles away when I first came to San Diego in the Navy back in the early 70s. Thanks for showcasing this historic, and sacred part of San Diego. Wish you had time to visit another moving tribute to those who served at Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial just a few mile away.
Cant wait to show this to my Marine Husband Love your channel Jeff and Sarah
Thank you Sarah & Jeff! Great job again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello History Hunters Jeff, Thanks for sharing and honoring the lives of the fallen heroes. May they Rest in Peace 🙏 Have a Wonderful Sunday 🌞
My husband is a Disabled Marine Vet he was stationed at Camp Pendleton back in the early 80's💕🙏
I am reminded of this saying, "To the world he was one. To us he was the world".
My childhood friend and like a brother in there and the day he was intures, I left part of my heart there in 1964.
Thank you again for sharing this video.
Great episode! Such an important place of honor for the men and women who sacrificed their lives for all of Americans. I wonder what they would think about us now. Shameful !
Thank you to all who served our Nation who are buried there. What a view.
Thank you Jeff and Sara so much for this!
Freedom isn't free indeed. A respectful salute too all our fallen veterans. Really nice video.
Thank you very much Joe, from one freedom loving Americans to another!
Thank you to all our military members past and present. Also thank you to all military families.

Good morning Jeff and Sarah. Thank you for another great film. I missed you Sarah. You had a short time on camera.
Keep up the good work Sir. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication and passion.
Thanks very much Andrew. It’s a labor of love I guess you could say.
With an ocean view! Nice. Great vid! Sunday mornings with History Hunters…Perfect ❤
Sad to see graves of service people that were killed in the line of duty. Glad to see that the older survivors of military service are honored for their service and not forgotten. Thanks for doing them honor with this video.
A must visit if in San Diego. Thanks for pointing out these heroes Jeff
Thank you Jeff. My brother went to Camp Pendleton and later sent to Vietnam where he was KIA at Chu Lai during the Tet Offensive in 1968.
Very informative! Thank you for honoring our heroes
Beautiful place. You are right, freedom is not free. Hope future generations never forget that. Thank you History Hunters for another great video.
Amen brother! Thanks so much for watching and leaving the comment!
Thank You Jeff and Sarah. What a touching video. We should always be reminded of the price people paid for our freedom. Very well done. When you played Taps, the tears were flowing!

Well darn, since I spent two years of my life at Camp Pendleton I guess I'll have to stop by and say hello to MG Pendleton. Thank you for finding his gravestone.
I live in Leavenworth, Kansas where Henry Leavenworth the first commander; they named the Fort and the Town after him in Kansas. Are National Cemetery Leavenworth has him and 2 other soldiers that are National Honor 🎖 Recipients are buried with Thousands other people who served. Tom Custer was buried there, along with other men of his Regiment who died at Little Big Horn. Many of the men who died there were from Fort Leavenworth. It was started in the 1800's. Thank you Jeff for another fine history lesson.
Thank you and God bless you for doing this one. I can't like it enough! It gives me just a smidgen of hope for our country.
Thank you sir! And thanks for your service to our country!
I went to Bootcamp in MCRD San Diego Oct 22nd 2001. Graduated Jan 18 2002. Thanks for the history. They are all significant.

Thank you History Hunters. This was by Far my Favorite Video that you have Done...it's in My Stompin Grounds. Everything Super Familiar, yet You taught me things I Never knew...thanks again.
Wow this is right up my alley. I love these videos and every one I have viewed is so done well, don't let nastiness and negative people stop you.this video is very well done. A very well groomed and maintained resting place, the fact they were born and went on to serve this country makes them precious in the sight of God and very important and significant to me
It's one of my favorite cemeteries. It's so beautiful. I've visited hundreds of graves there, but only two that you did. Nice to see the others. Especially Pendleton. I never thought of how that camp came to be names. Another nice one, Jeff!
Wow! Awesome ending, thank you. "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" Winston Churchill
Thanks much for the visit. My kid brother was a Marine in Viet Nam. He made it home but took his life a year later. You and Sarah take care
So sorry to hear about your brother. So many of our young men were ruined by that war. War is hell.

Thanks for keeping traditional things alive
Beautifully done! It's interesting to hear about old military stories.
Makes you wonder what they'd think about what's going on now. Especially after sacrificing their lives.
Oh my thank you so much for this! Rosecrans was always one of our favorite places to visit in San Diego!!! It’s truly peaceful there♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hotel Del is another! I’m so homesick but thank you for all you do to bring all things California to us!♥️ p.s. I hate autocorrect!
Excellent!!! ❤🤍💙
Beautiful place. My dad and baby sister are there. ❣️ So interesting to hear you mention MCRD, Camp Pendleton, Balboa Park, Cabrillo Lighthouse: all significant spots to my family. Fascinating to hear the stories of those buried in Ft. Rosecrans. I had no idea. . .Yes, it’s absolutely stunning there.

Thank you! If only Americans today took serious the sacrifices that gave us freedom! We appreciate you very much for your thoughtful remarks!
