First of all thank you veterans, past and present, for your service. Three months ago I was one the pallbearers of my very best friend and neighbor James E Smith affectionately known on our property as ‘Jim Sr’…I was called ‘Jim Jr’. It was very difficult for me, firstly, bc we were burying such a wonderful man and my best friend. But, looking out across Veterans Memorial Cemetery here in Houston and seeing so many of my comrades laid to rest was staggering to say the least. One day in the future I’ll be buried here as well and be back among several of my friends buried there also. Thank you for this military tribute. Safe travels! ~Jim~
It's a sad part of our nation's history. I'm glad we have a place to honor them. You should go, if you get a chance. You will never forget it. Safe travels. 🙂
We are the same. I think it's because we all realize how much they get for us. Danny picks all our music and I really like the ones he picked on this video. Safe travel guys.
Wow what a tour I agree nobody wins. Very neat that we have an option of listening while we tour. That bloody pond area is sad 23,000 so sad. The editing was really great Danny love all the music choices very well done video and tour of this location.
My great grandfather and his brother were Privates in the 23rd Missouri Infantry on the Unions right flank of the Hornets Nest. My grandfather was badly wounded in his neck.( whether by musket ball or arillery fragment I do not know) It took a year before he was able to resume duty with the unit. His brother was captured later in the day ( Apr 6th) when the Union line finally collapsed and spent time in a prison camp in Macon, GA. He was later exchanged in a prisoner swap, but died of disease while in St Louis , MO. Great grand dad went on with the 23rd in Sherman's March Through Georgia and was discharged in Dec. 1864. He returned to his home in Missouri, but headed for California after the war ended. I believe due to all of the vengence killing and such going on in Missouri and Kansas. I was fortunate that my mother was able to relate so much of his history to me before she died. He died in 1937 at the age of 95.
Hello, Danny & Lynn, and thanks for sharing this video. Lisa and I enjoyed this tour, and the Shiloh National Military Park is only four and a half hours away. We might have to take a trip down there sometime this year. Well, I had better run, and you all stay safe! Until next time, may God bless your days the way He always blesses ours! Donald
It's such an interesting place to visit. I think you would really enjoy it. We learned so much that we never really knew or understood. You guys stay safe. 😊
Very hallowed ground for sure! Corinth is my (Pam) hometown and been to Shiloh many times. Thanks for sharing such a huge part of our American history!
Hello my southern brothers and sisters, I'm grateful people haven't destroyed this as well, I agree Lynn no one truly wins, God's blessings on you and Danny, safe travels 😊.
I'm glad they haven't destroyed it either. Someone once said those who forget history are doomed to relive it. We definitely don't want that. War is a very sad thing. Save travels to You too. 😊
What a beautiful area to have such a horrific history. Thanks for all the great information. The hornet story was just horrible to think about. The poor guys who fought, died and survived the battle. 23,000 😮 Enjoy your sojourners project.
I drive by there often while I'm working but I just don't have the time to stop usually. I go to Corinth often as well. I really like that town. Did you know the rest stop on hw 45 has a dump station?
I think the majority of the Mississippi rest stops have dump stations. You should stop by both sometime. It would be a great place to have your lunch. 😁
Danny said that over 2000 of the soldiers were unknown. So I guess they basically didn't know the names of many of them. That's so sad. Safe travels, friends. 😊
Thank you for sharing. I love history, always wanted to go there.
You should plan a trip. It's such an interesting place. I'm so glad we were able to go. Safe travels. 😊

I have the highest respect for our veterans. We owe our freedom to them. Don't go too soon, Jim. We have to meet up someday. Safe travels. 😊
I love history and I love learning about our history, but some of it is so sad. Great video.
We totally agree. This is some of the saddest of our country's. Have a blessed day. 😊
How nice that you volunteered to help. I would love to go to this park. I love the story behind how the cemetery was born.
It's a sad part of our nation's history. I'm glad we have a place to honor them. You should go, if you get a chance. You will never forget it. Safe travels. 🙂
Looking forward to next week video too! What a solemn place. The National Parks do a great job with locations. Really enjoyed your video.
Thanks. Our National Parks are simply amazing. We did not how exactly what to expect at this one. It is well worth the visit. Have a blessed week. 😊
Yep 👍 nobody really wins at war
They really don't. Safe travels. 😊

Great video! We were up there camping at pickwick not long ago!
Nice. We didn't make it to Pickwick. Maybe next time. Safe travels. 😊
Hello Lynn and Danny its always good to see a video honoring our war dead. Have a good day
Thank you. Thanks for joining us. Safe travels.
Very somber video. Such a sad chapter in American history. We really appreciate your perspective on this tour.
Thank you! It was so very sad. 😢
Very hallowed ground for sure! Corinth is my (Pam) hometown and been to
Shiloh many times. Thanks for sharing such a huge part of our American history!
I did not know that. We may have met some of the people you grew up with. Safe travels friend. 😊
@@RVAmerica you very likely did! 🥰 a lot of history even in the city of Corinth!
@@theroadsmiths Our video this coming week is on Corinth. That's where we stayed for 2 weeks. 😁
@@RVAmerica I can’t wait to see it!!! 🤗

It's crazy that so many died in such a short span of time. Such a sad part of our nation's history. 😢
Great video Guys, we hope to make there one of these days.
It's a really cool place and you'll love it. Safe travels.
Interesting tales. I suspect the pond story is apocryphal but there were a lot of dead from that battle.
Us too. It's a sad place. 😔 safe travels.
We were there in the fall. Had to get there. I’ve been wanting to go for 30 years
Oh wow. In glad you made it. It's such an interesting place. We had no idea so many men died here. So sad. Safe travels. 😊

Did they say how they knew the names of the dead after they came back and unburied the bodies?
