I am a retired Texas Peace Officer after 30 years of service. I was a team leader on the Honor Guard for 15 years. I had the honor of training with the 3rd U.S. Army Infantry Charley Co. Old Guard stationed at FT. Myer, VA. assigned to Arlington National Cemetery. This was one of the highlights of my career. I was amazed to be in the presents not only of the thousands of American Patriots who lay in these hallowed grounds but to train with the fine young men and women who serve our nation today.
Thank you so much for watching and for your service. I am always honored when people comment here…especially those like yourself. Arlington is quite an amazing place. 😊
From one veteran to another, thank you for your service and the honor and passion you show to all these great people ; we both share the same attitude ; thanks again.
Thanks for the heartfelt tribute to our fallen hero’s. I served in the Army during the Vietnam era. Stationed in Germany. I have a brother and 2 uncles that went to Vietnam. Thank you for your service.
From the daughter of two Navy sailors, both my mom and dad, thank you for your service. They met when they were both stationed at Pearl Harbor during Korea. Dad was on a ship and mom was the one who did the dog tags and the toe tags. Both joined right after high school, mom from Iowa, dad from the Texas panhandle. Mom passed away in 2015 and has her military stone in a cemetery in Amarillo. My dad is still living, he's going to be 90 this year.
Thank you for their service. I love that both your parents were sailors ♥️ what an amazing time to be in the US Navy. I appreciate you sharing and all the support. Go Navy!!!
I'm not military, but I agree with you. However, I place war graves with it. Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, and all over the world. During times of war, our fallen were buried where they were killed. Ships sunk with people onboard. People buried at sea.
To me every National Cemetery is the most sacred ground, because every man or woman that served is on/in sacred ground. Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC was created at the very same time as Arlington National Cemetery.
If Arlington Cemetery is sacred the Tomb of the Unknown is the most sacred. Most visitors know to be respectful and quiet. I have heard the guard threaten a visitor who went inside the velvet rope. The guard told her he is authorized to use his rifle to protect the sacred ground. It was a military holiday and a large crowd. Even babies were silenced. That was decades ago. He speaks to the people trying to sneak in the back way or go around a fence. The Sentinel, like the King’s Guards are highly trained. They are not for show. They are on duty.
I would so love to see Arlington cemetery! So much respect. My husband is a veteran and will be buried at the Bloomfield veterans cemetery in Bloomfield Missouri when the time comes. His name is on the plaque at the front of the museum and cemetery as part of the desert storm 21st Airborne troop. I’m so proud of him and am a proud military wife! So proud of all our veterans!! I love you all!!
Thank you for covering Maureen and Charles Blair. I had the pleasure of working at her home for some weeks in Ireland back in ‘78. She was every bit as relaxed and engaging to chat to and bid the time of day. We also were lucky to meet Charles Blair at the same time; tragically to loose his life some weeks later. A truly wonderful lady on and off screen
Jenn, your channel should be required to be viewed by all colleges (especially military academy(s))and private and public school history courses as well as all HS and college ROTC programs...IT'S THAT GOOD!!!
Absolutely. Jimmy Stewart was not mentioned. He was a 5 star General in the U.S A.F. and won many medals and Oscars as an actor. God rest the souls of all who served.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved Maureen O'Hara. The Quiet Man is one of my favorite movies. She originally was going to be buried in Ireland then changed her mind. John Basilone is buried at Arlington. A true American hero and from my home town. We have a parade and we have a bridge named after him. He was the real deal.
My father was a Colonel in the US Army. I was born abroad because of his service. Thank you for your service then and now. I enjoy these videos so much.
Thank you ! You are the best I thank you for your service to this great nation,and the work that you have done. There those who tried to deny Black Americans the right to serve and after they have served we would come home and was not treated well. You know the history. This brought tears to my eyes because you paid honor to those who were considered less than. Thank you so much and may the peace of the creator be with you always. U.S.ARMY 1966-1970.
Thank you so much for the kind words. 😊 You may also enjoy a video we made honoring the Tuskegee Airmen buried at Arlington. Absolutely amazing men. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
As a proud combat veteran of the 1s Inf Div Vietnam, you echoed every emotion I have about having served. Plus ... you gave me chills with that salute. I know what it means! SSG G A Murdoch
My husband and I visited the Arlington Cemetery and I felt that it was one of the most peaceful places in the U.S. Audie Murphy was definitely a very humble man with a simple gravestone.
I also served in the Navy...retired at 20. Thank you for sharing your journey to Arlington...I hope to visit one day. Your video was informative, sensitive, and respectful!!! Your respect that was given through your salute, your pennies, and you heart stones was touching...Thank you for your service and thank you for reminding us all of the great history we have as Americans. May God bless you always
Lee Marvin has an added connection to Arlington. Arlington National Cemetery sits on the former estate of Robert E Lee, and wife Mary Anna, who was a descendant of George Washington. Lee Marvin is related to both George Washington and Robert E Lee. His first name is a tribute to his ancestor Robert E Lee
As a Viet Nam Vet coming home was hard but never as hard as those you walked among there. I salute and honor you as you did the same for them. So few now see Holy Ground or understand why it is...thank you.
It was my honor to be there and thank you for your service. I visit the Vietnam Memorial in the DC Mall video. I leave a flag for my friends dad who is MIA.
I remember offering the Boy Scout salute at the Tomb of the Unknowns back in the '60s. I never served, but many family members have and I've come to honor all who have. Thank you for your service and your reminder of whom we have to thank for our freedom.
Well Done Sailor. I was last there forty years ago but you captured how beautiful it is, and what a reverent and important place it is to this nation. You are an excellent history teacher. Semper Fi
That was an AWESOME video! Thank you for sharing. I have only been to Arlington once, in which I met the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Barrett. It was an honor! God bless all those we have sacrificed so much for our liberty, lest we forget!
A couple of weeks before I PCSed to Huachuca from my tour in Germany, I barrowed a car from a buddy, and drove over and walked through the Luxembourg American Cemetery. It's hard to describe the feelings I had while there. I guess you could say, I felt extremely honored to be in the presence of these troops who gave their lives, for our freedom. I wish I had known then, that I was only just over 120km from the Battle of the Bulge site. If I had known, I would have gone there too.
This one was special to me, especially as a retired Air Force Officer. It is even more special, we lad my Father In Law to rest at Arlington in 2019. Services at Arlington are incredible, they do a great job. Thank you for. Introducing these under reported history events.
From one Vet to another,Thank you. My father could have been buried at Arlington but chose the national cemetery at Ft. Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania as it was closer to family also he shipped out from the gap and mustered out there too.
Yours is a wonderful compliment James. We should all aspire to be recognised in such a manner. I visited Arington from Australia way back in 1991 and was truly mesmerised, much like I was a few years back when I visited the Australian soldiers remembered at several sites on the Western Front in France.
Robert Todd Lincoln; odd series of circumstances unknown to me until now. Overall this is a very inspiring video and makes me proud to be an American. Thanks for posting.🇺🇸👍
I had the privilege of meeting Maureen in Boise Idaho a few years before she passed. I’m a huge John Wayne fan so I was obviously Star struck. I told her that my parents named me after Big Jake and the smile she got…. Wow!
Jenn, thank you again for a wonderful video. I saw the 2nd Arlington video and I've found and thoroughly enjoyed the first one. As a Vietnam Veteran, I hold Arlington in the deepest reverence and respect for those who have gone before me. Thank you again for your service!! Go Navy!!
When first I started watching your video, I could not wait to comment about how much you remind me of actress Amy Adams. After watching the entire video, what I want to say is that this could so easily be your vocation. It is done so professionally and with so much respect and knowledge. I feel better for having watched it. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much. Your comment made my day. I have a Masters Degree in American History and I wanted to do something that I could use my degree as well as bring information to the public. I really appreciated your feedback. I plan to do another from Arlington soon about the writers there!!!
Before flying the F-14 Kara Hultgren's original call sign was "Hulk" as both a play on her name "hulk"gren and the fact that she was quite the athlete. She flew A-6 Intruders before they were retired which is when she transitioned to the Tomcat. With all the media coverage of her being the first woman to fly the F-14, she was profiled on several TV interviews. Knowing that she was going to be on TV she did her makeup for the photo shoots. All the other male pilots gave her a lot of teasing about walking out of the ready room with makeup and her new call sign "Revlon" was coined.
That is some awesome information. Thank you for sharing. I went through a couple of call signs too. “Yoko” stuck when I broke up the band of guys in my helicopter squadron so I know that a “call sign” can go through transitions, especially if you do something “funny” that your fellow pilots won’t let you forget. :)
@@WalkwithHistory my uncle's from my understanding, came ashore at Utah beach,but I have never been able to confirm this. Now that the virus stuff is under control, I want to visit and pay my respects to our honored service members.
Thank you for making this video. I have been to Arlington several times, but had no idea that some of the people you mentioned in your video were buried or honored there. Thank you also for your Service.
I have watched a lot of your videos. So tasteful and respectful. America thanks people like you for being there when needed and who come home and foster respect for those who did not. Vaya con Dios
This is awesome. Great job! The history lesson was spot on. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I now look forward got visiting Arlington again to do more exploring. By the way, I have a dear friend who is an Arlington Lady. She supports families who are attending funerals of loved ones there as well attend the funerals herself.
Back in the early 80's, while I was visiting Arlington, the JFK memorial was being renovated. They were running a new gas line for the eternal flame. I took a picture of the sign that stated it was an eternal flame, while in the background was a hole with the old gas pipe excavated but not yet removed...and no flame. Great video.
I enjoyed your video very much i hope there will be more I was so honored that you yourself was in service ..i thank you for that..🇺🇸 God bless you and the United States of America
Thank you for your military service, and for this RUclips video. I have never served, but I’ve always appreciated those who have defended our nation’s freedom. This moving video touched my heart, and I’m old enough to admit I cried at least three times while watching this informative and respectful video. Thank you to all who have served💕❤️💕.
Hi there. You did a wonderful job. As a former Marine I wish to one day visit Arlington. There was one part of your video that did not sit well and it was something you said. I do not know your personal history, such as, if you were in the military. When you were at Lt. Murphy's grave you referred to earned awards as "winning and winner". We never win awards for valor. The poor bastard on the losing end of a battle, he can't hit the reset button and have a do over. I do think that you did a great job and thank you for the background on Robert Todd Lincoln. Your video popped up in the recommended and I'm glad it did. I'm going to check out the others. Your very good.
Thank you for watching and you are completely right. I did inadvertently say winner vice recipient. I corrected myself in the video description. Thank you for your service and for the kind words. 🙏
@Mr. Shlock Pedantic? Yet, you still read it. Lol. I believe that I referred to myself as a former Marine. Doesn’t “ex” mean pretty much the same in this context. You sir, get a job. You are too bored with your life to nip-pick no-sense.
@Mr. Shlock you need to learn to type proper English. I suppose being in the 3rd. Bn. 9 th. Mar. 1st. Marine Division was just a dream. Your bored with nothing else to do. My friend, that is sad. Good luck to ya.
Thank you for doing this. Our military history is something that can't be allowed to die. Thanks for repeating it, especially for those that don't know anything about it. (Air Force 1967-1971)
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I also appreciate your willingness to make corrections- none of us are perfect.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I try to offer the best research at the time of filming but sometimes I have memorized the wrong thing, etc. I take full responsibility for all errors and will make any corrections as they come to our attention. :)
Nice video and thank you for your service from a UK military veteran.. can’t wait to get over to Arlington it’s been on my bucket list for sometime 👊🇬🇧🇺🇸👊
Thank you, you did an amazing job with telling some brief history of those buried in Arlington. It looks very peaceful and somber walking the grounds and I have always wanted to visit. Happy I was able to view your walk and hope you return there for more stories. You do a very good job at telling history !
Aa a Veteran I appreciate the respect you show in your tours of the cemetery, and I thank you for your service. I do disagree in one statement made. Perhaps it is nit picking but I refused to look at a service man or woman's life as a life lost, as I also refuse to refer to limbs, organs etc as lost. They were and continue to be lives, limbs, blood and bone, Given in service to this country. The Bible says " Greater Love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends ". I believe that to also include laying down his life for his country. Arlington is a place I've visited on many occasions. I will never lose my esteem and severance for it.
@WalkwithHistory just always been the way I look at things. You don't lose things that are given. If you get a leg blown off from a mine or an iced, I'm pretty sure you know where that leg went. Parents and children can say they lost a Son or Daughter, mother or father, or they can say My Son or my Daughter, my Dad or my Mom, gave they lives. But an Airman, Sailor, Soldier, Marine, took that oath and therefore Gave their service. I suppose you could get technical and say those in Vietnam who were forced to serve due to the draft didn't "Give" their lives willingly, but to say that diminishes their sacrifice, and I'm not willing to do that! I cemeteries around this nation, and the world, there are Men and women of all equations who gave their lives. Volunteers, Drafted, Contentious objectors, civilians who served in the capacity of entertainment or news gathering. All deserve our respect. Thanks yall, for your service and for exposing some of these people's stories. Much Respect!
Fantastic video you certainly wear your emotions on your sleeve and that’s what makes it so special I’m visiting Arlington in September from England hopefully I will be able to visit a selection of these memorials thank you again
Just found your channel. My dad, mom and brother are interred at Arlington. My son is also active duty military. I live nearby Arlington and visit often. But I think now in addition to my family’s graves I will visit some of these you mentioned. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching. We also have a other videos from Arlington, including another movie stars, media influencers video. It is such a hallowed place.
Patton wanted to be buried with his men, right? Patton would have been front and center at Arlington. So many folks who would never be selfish. You mention Ms. O'Hara's husband was who John Wayne portrayed in the movies. John Wayne also portrayed Audie Murphy. If you like old movies please view "The Best Years of Our Lives" A wonderful film from after the war. 1948 I believe. I've seen it countless dozens of times. Same goes for "The Longest Day". Thank you again for your work.
Gen George S Patton was buried with his men. His grave is in Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm, Luxembourg City, Luxemburg. The cemetery contains 5074 American war dead. I was stationed not far away, at Ramstein AFB and Spangdahlm AFB GE, which allowed me to travel to the cemetery. MSgt Ken Patton USAF Retired
I went to Arlington national cemetery today with my uncle who is from London England. We went to several famous graves today and tried to find Maureen O’Hara. Had absolutely no luck
Great video. I just subbed hoping you will do more at Arlington. While I enlisted twice, I wasn't able to serve due too medical reasons. Much respect to you, all serving and served, and to those who are gone...but not forgotten.
What a interesting and great video. Thank you so much for the interesting facts, most of all thank you and all those who served in one-way or another for your courage and service.
Very nice work(Please don't allow ridiculous nitpickers and other haters slow your momentum.) For your next trip to Arlington suggest a visit to actress Constance Bennett and author Dashell Hammett who wrote The Maltesse Falcon. I served with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam.
Those are awesome suggestions. I definitely will. Thank you for those and for the supportive comments. I truly appreciate it. Thank you for your service as well.
One of the things this video brings up is, "It's not just the person that enlists that serves, it's their family as well." That simple fact is forgotten, in some cases.
I had read that the enslaved, such as Selina Gray and her family, were not freed till December of 1862 under the will of George Washington Parke Custis.
He and his wife had freed all their slaves. When Lee’s Wife’s father passed on Lee was made the executor of his estate. The estate owned slaves. Lee took 5 years to set them all free. As a side note, when a black man tried to enter Lee’s church, the black man was turned away. Upon finding out about this he took the black man to the church, let him in, and both men prayed at the altar. This happened after the war.
IVE BEEN TO ARLINGTON THREE TIMES JUST RECENTLY IN FEBRUARY 2020, IVE VISITED LEE MARVIN AND AUDIE MURPHY AND MANY OTHERS BYT I LIKE TO SAY AUDIE WAS THE HIGHEST DECORATED SOILDER OF WWII. NEVILLE BRAND WAS ALSO HIGHLY DECORATED TOO.
I was at Arlington a few years ago on an Honor Flight. Primarily we were there to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns and watch the changing of the guard. It was awesome. However, before we went, I had called the Cemetery to ask about visiting my first CO's grave. One of the men who take care of the Cemetery, a member of the "Old Guard," came to meet our buses. He took me off the bus and personally drove me to Capt. Livingston's resting place. He then drove me to the Tomb of the Unknowns. I wish they'd given us more time. Audie Murphy's grave is only 5 minutes walk. BTW, you could've mentioned that Audie paid another price for his heroism. He suffered from PTSD the rest of his short life.
God bless you and from this United States Marine I want to thank you for this tour and thank you for your service Ma’am! Fair winds and following Seas!
@@WalkwithHistory absolutely! I’d love to see you host more historical tours; maybe civil war battle fields or even battle ships or other historical places! Semper Fi
Just loved this video. We were in Arlington in 2019, but got there late in the day which prevented us from seeing all the graves we wanted to. You covered may of the ones we missed. Thank you for your service and this wonderful video.❤
Robert E. Lee married a granddaughter of Martha Custis Lee. They were THE couple prior to the Civil War and Lincoln offered leadership of Union forces to Lee. He spent a sleepless night considering it and said later he decided he could not take up arms against Virginia. Gives you a sense of how important states' rights actually were. Before the Civil War authors used to write, "The United States are...", afterwards they wrote, "The United States is....". I'm so proud of you for not repeating that ridiculous, apocryphal story about Bob Keeshan and Lee Marvin on Iwo Jima.
Yes Lee was quite the man and I think he thought about the big picture in regards to states rights more than people realized. Thank you for the kind words.
Ive been to washington D C and could see Arlington from the monuments. Would have loved to be able to walk through it but didnt get the chance. What a beautiful place. Didnt know so many famous people were there. Thank you for your service to all those who have passed on and those still here with us ❤❤
The most impressive thing about Lee Marvin was despite his accolades as an actor including being an academy award winner, is he is buried in Arlington national cemetery and his headstone says Lee Marvin U.S. Marine,,,, Semper Fidelis.
I am a retired Texas Peace Officer after 30 years of service. I was a team leader on the Honor Guard for 15 years. I had the honor of training with the 3rd U.S. Army Infantry Charley Co.

Just a heads up it's presence, presents are something you get for your birthday and whatever holiday you celebrate that receives them
Audie Murphy is the second most visited grave site in Arlington, next to JFK.
From one veteran to another, thank you for your service and the honor and passion you show to all these great people ; we both share the same attitude ; thanks again.
Thank you! And thank you for watching 😊 Welcome to the Walk with History community 😁 🇺🇸

As a retired Soldier “Arlington cemetery” is the most scared ground in American.
Completely agree.
Sacred ground.

Thank you. That is wonderful to read. I appreciate the comment.
According her autobiography, she had to fight to get him buried in Arlington.
I’m from the UK and I found this a very emotional watch , God Bless all the young men and women who came home to rest here 🕊️
Thank you so much! That is such a compliment. 😊 Thank you for watching. 😁
Jenn, your channel should be required to be viewed by all colleges (especially military academy(s))and private and public school history courses as well as all HS and college ROTC programs...IT'S THAT GOOD!!!
That is awesome. Agreed!! Let’s make it happen. We appreciate your comment very much.
Absolutely. Jimmy Stewart was not mentioned. He was a 5 star General in the U.S A.F. and won many medals and Oscars as an actor. God rest the souls of all who served.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved Maureen O'Hara. The Quiet Man is one of my favorite movies. She originally was going to be buried in Ireland then changed her mind. John Basilone is buried at Arlington. A true American hero and from my home town. We have a parade and we have a bridge named after him. He was the real deal.
Thank you. I will check out John Basilone.
He was KIA February 19 1945. 21 years to the day before I was born. If you want a true American and United States Marines hero, you found him.
You did a wonderful job with this and sound like a really good person. Thanks so much. One of my favorite places.
Thank you! I appreciate it. It is quite a powerful place to be and such an honor to visit.

My husband and I visited the Arlington Cemetery and I felt that it was one of the most peaceful places in the U.S. Audie Murphy was definitely a very humble man with a simple gravestone.
It is so powerful to be there. I was so humbled to be at Murphy’s grave. He is an American hero. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you for the comment. We have another Arlington video you may like too.
That was an AWESOME video! Thank you for sharing. I have only been to Arlington once, in which I met the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Barrett.
It was an honor!
God bless all those we have sacrificed so much for our liberty, lest we forget!
Thank you for your comment. What an honor to have met him. I appreciate your support.
Thank you for this video. It reminded me of people who loved America. Thank you for your service.

What a wonderfully done video, so touching and with a message we should all remember. Thank you for your service and this beautiful tribute.
Thank you so much! That comment means a lot. We should do our best to remember those who sacrificed for us all. 😊
From one Vet to another,Thank you. My father could have been buried at Arlington but chose the national cemetery at Ft. Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania as it was closer to family also he shipped out from the gap and mustered out there too.
Thank you so much. And thank your for your family’s service. 🙂
You did a Great tour, and I see that you are, A great patriot, We need more people like you,
Thank you. I appreciate that. I do Love America.

I had the privilege of meeting Maureen in Boise Idaho a few years before she passed. I’m a huge John Wayne fan so I was obviously Star struck. I told her that my parents named me after Big Jake and the smile she got…. Wow!
That’s so neat! Thank you for sharing that with us 😁
Major A. L. Murphy 36th Infantry Division of the Texas National Guard was and still is a personal hero.
Jenn, thank you again for a wonderful video. I saw the 2nd Arlington video and I've found and thoroughly enjoyed the first one. As a Vietnam Veteran, I hold Arlington in the deepest reverence and respect for those who have gone before me. Thank you again for your service!! Go Navy!!
I truly appreciate your comment and thank you for your service. I appreciate your support.
Really informative. Could tell you were deeply touched. Arlington is always on my list when I visit DC
It meant so much to me to be there. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.
From one vet to another…thank you for your service
Thank you for your service and for watching. We appreciate it.
When first I started watching your video, I could not wait to comment about how much you remind me of actress Amy Adams. After watching the entire video, what I want to say is that this could so easily be your vocation. It is done so professionally and with so much respect and knowledge. I feel better for having watched it. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much. Your comment made my day. I have a Masters Degree in American History and I wanted to do something that I could use my degree as well as bring information to the public. I really appreciated your feedback. I plan to do another from Arlington soon about the writers there!!!
Before flying the F-14 Kara Hultgren's original call sign was "Hulk" as both a play on her name "hulk"gren and the fact that she was quite the athlete. She flew A-6 Intruders before they were retired which is when she transitioned to the Tomcat. With all the media coverage of her being the first woman to fly the F-14, she was profiled on several TV interviews. Knowing that she was going to be on TV she did her makeup for the photo shoots. All the other male pilots gave her a lot of teasing about walking out of the ready room with makeup and her new call sign "Revlon" was coined.
That is some awesome information. Thank you for sharing. I went through a couple of call signs too. “Yoko” stuck when I broke up the band of guys in my helicopter squadron so I know that a “call sign” can go through transitions, especially if you do something “funny” that your fellow pilots won’t let you forget. :)
Visiting Arlington, is on my list to visit.
My 3 uncle's all served during WWII, and I am proud of the men and women who fought for us.
It is a very important place to visit. My grandfather drove a tank in WWII (the Greatest Generation).
@@WalkwithHistory my uncle's from my understanding, came ashore at Utah beach,but I have never been able to confirm this. Now that the virus stuff is under control, I want to visit and pay my respects to our honored service members.
Thank you for taking us along to Arlington 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Thank you
Thank you for your service maam. Respect from an ex Australian Army soldier
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support and comment.
So proud of you Jenn, both as a veteran and a Nittany Lion.
Wow, Thank you!! That means a lot. We Are….. 🤘👍🇺🇸♥️
Thank you for making this video. I have been to Arlington several times, but had no idea that some of the people you mentioned in your video were buried or honored there. Thank you also for your Service.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your comment. It is always my honor to have served my country.
Loved this, thank you and thank you for your service
Thank you. It was always my honor to serve my country.
Thank you! As a veteran I have to visit Arlington anytime I am in Washington to pay my respects.
Thank you for your service.
I have watched a lot of your videos. So tasteful and respectful. America thanks people like you for being there when needed and who come home and foster respect for those who did not. Vaya con Dios
Thanks for watching and thank you for the support. 😊
This is awesome. Great job! The history lesson was spot on. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I now look forward got visiting Arlington again to do more exploring. By the way, I have a dear friend who is an Arlington Lady. She supports families who are attending funerals of loved ones there as well attend the funerals herself.
Thank you for your comment. It means a lot to me and thank you to your friend that is important work.
Back in the early 80's, while I was visiting Arlington, the JFK memorial was being renovated. They were running a new gas line for the eternal flame. I took a picture of the sign that stated it was an eternal flame, while in the background was a hole with the old gas pipe excavated but not yet removed...and no flame.
Great video.
Wow. That is cool. Thank you.
As a Navy Vet. ( HCU-1 - YRST-1 Salvors, Pearl Harbor ) Thank You for Your service and this tour of sacred ground.
Thank you and thank you for your service. 😊
Thank you for such a respectful tour of Arlington cemetery.
Clare
Thank you for the kind words. It is always our honor to visit there. 😊
I enjoyed your video very much i hope there will be more
I was so honored that you yourself was in service ..i thank you for that..🇺🇸 God bless you and the United States of America
Thank you. God Bless you and the United States of America.
Thank you for your military service, and for this RUclips video. I have never served, but I’ve always appreciated those who have defended our nation’s freedom. This moving video touched my heart, and I’m old enough to admit I cried at least three times while watching this informative and respectful video.
Thank you to all who have served💕❤️💕.
Thank you for your comment and Thank you for all the support. We appreciate people like you so much. ♥️
Hi there. You did a wonderful job. As a former Marine I wish to one day visit Arlington. There was one part of your video that did not sit well and it was something you said. I do not know your personal history, such as, if you were in the military. When you were at Lt. Murphy's grave you referred to earned awards as "winning and winner". We never win awards for valor. The poor bastard on the losing end of a battle, he can't hit the reset button and have a do over. I do think that you did a great job and thank you for the background on Robert Todd Lincoln. Your video popped up in the recommended and I'm glad it did. I'm going to check out the others. Your very good.
Thank you for watching and you are completely right. I did inadvertently say winner vice recipient. I corrected myself in the video description.
Thank you for your service and for the kind words. 🙏
@Mr. Shlock Pedantic? Yet, you still read it. Lol. I believe that I referred to myself as a former Marine. Doesn’t “ex” mean pretty much the same in this context. You sir, get a job. You are too bored with your life to nip-pick no-sense.
@Mr. Shlock you need to learn to type proper English. I suppose being in the 3rd. Bn. 9 th. Mar. 1st. Marine Division was just a dream. Your bored with nothing else to do. My friend, that is sad. Good luck to ya.
Thank you for doing this. Our military history is something that can't be allowed to die. Thanks for repeating it, especially for those that don't know anything about it. (Air Force 1967-1971)
Agreed. Thank you for your service. 😊
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I also appreciate your willingness to make corrections- none of us are perfect.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I try to offer the best research at the time of filming but sometimes I have memorized the wrong thing, etc. I take full responsibility for all errors and will make any corrections as they come to our attention. :)
Nice video and thank you for your service from a UK military veteran.. can’t wait to get over to Arlington it’s been on my bucket list for sometime 👊🇬🇧🇺🇸👊
Thank you so much for the support. I worked with the UK Military many times. 🤘Thank you for your service.
Very well done. As a Veteran of the US Army, I say thank you for your service. God Bless America!
Thank you for watching! And thank you for your service. God Bless America.
Thank you so much for your service. God bless you.
Thank you!😊
Thank you, you did an amazing job with telling some brief history of those buried in Arlington. It looks very peaceful and somber walking the grounds and I have always wanted to visit. Happy I was able to view your walk and hope you return there for more stories. You do a very good job at telling history !
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you. I will definitely return.
Aa a Veteran I appreciate the respect you show in your tours of the cemetery, and I thank you for your service. I do disagree in one statement made. Perhaps it is nit picking but I refused to look at a service man or woman's life as a life lost, as I also refuse to refer to limbs, organs etc as lost. They were and continue to be lives, limbs, blood and bone, Given in service to this country. The Bible says " Greater Love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends ". I believe that to also include laying down his life for his country. Arlington is a place I've visited on many occasions. I will never lose my esteem and severance for it.
I love that take! Thank you for sharing that. A great way to remember our heroes. 😊
@WalkwithHistory just always been the way I look at things. You don't lose things that are given. If you get a leg blown off from a mine or an iced, I'm pretty sure you know where that leg went. Parents and children can say they lost a Son or Daughter, mother or father, or they can say My Son or my Daughter, my Dad or my Mom, gave they lives. But an Airman, Sailor, Soldier, Marine, took that oath and therefore Gave their service. I suppose you could get technical and say those in Vietnam who were forced to serve due to the draft didn't "Give" their lives willingly, but to say that diminishes their sacrifice, and I'm not willing to do that! I cemeteries around this nation, and the world, there are Men and women of all equations who gave their lives. Volunteers, Drafted, Contentious objectors, civilians who served in the capacity of entertainment or news gathering. All deserve our respect. Thanks yall, for your service and for exposing some of these people's stories. Much Respect!
Nice! I learned a lot in this one. Definitely can't wait to get back there.
Thank you! I feel the same way. There’s so much to see there, you just have to pick a few and go for a good walk. 😁
yeah, some people though forget about Lee Marvin LOL
I had idea Joe Louis, Maureen, Meager, or Lee were buried there. That was an interesting story about Lincoln's son. Poor guy.
Fantastic video you certainly wear your emotions on your sleeve and that’s what makes it so special I’m visiting Arlington in September from England hopefully I will be able to visit a selection of these memorials thank you again
Just found your channel. My dad, mom and brother are interred at Arlington. My son is also active duty military. I live nearby Arlington and visit often. But I think now in addition to my family’s graves I will visit some of these you mentioned. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching. We also have a other videos from Arlington, including another movie stars, media influencers video. It is such a hallowed place.
Patton wanted to be buried with his men, right? Patton would have been front and center at Arlington. So many folks who would never be selfish. You mention Ms. O'Hara's husband was who John Wayne portrayed in the movies. John Wayne also portrayed Audie Murphy. If you like old movies please view "The Best Years of Our Lives" A wonderful film from after the war. 1948 I believe. I've seen it countless dozens of times. Same goes for "The Longest Day". Thank you again for your work.
I have seen “The Longest Day” but I will check out “The Best Years of Our Lives” Thank you for the suggestion.
The Best Years of Our Lives is something special. Enjoy
Gen George S Patton was buried with his men. His grave is in Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm, Luxembourg City, Luxemburg. The cemetery contains 5074 American war dead. I was stationed not far away, at Ramstein AFB and Spangdahlm AFB GE, which allowed me to travel to the cemetery. MSgt Ken Patton USAF Retired
I went to Arlington national cemetery today with my uncle who is from London England. We went to several famous graves today and tried to find Maureen O’Hara. Had absolutely no luck
I am so sorry. If you go back try looking under her married name Blair or for her husband Charles F. Blair. She is not buried under O’Hara.
@@WalkwithHistory thank you very much
We recently toured the area where the Tomb Guards prepare. Such an Honor.
That is awesome. I bet that is such an honor to see.
how wonderful. thank you foor filming/posting this
Thank you for watching.
Great video. I just subbed hoping you will do more at Arlington. While I enlisted twice, I wasn't able to serve due too medical reasons. Much respect to you, all serving and served, and to those who are gone...but not forgotten.
Thank you. I will definitely do another Arlington video.
What a interesting and great video. Thank you so much for the interesting facts, most of all thank you and all those who served in one-way or another for your courage and service.
Thank you.
Thank you for a great video. Thank you also for your service, one vet to another. God bless.
Thank you for your comment and for your service. God Bless.
Thank you for this video! I learned so much watching, including Maureen O'Hara is interned there.
Thank you for your comment.
I enjoyed your video and sincerely thank you for your service
Thank you. It was my honor to serve.
Very nice work(Please don't allow ridiculous nitpickers and other haters slow your momentum.) For your next trip to Arlington suggest a visit to actress Constance Bennett and author Dashell Hammett who wrote The Maltesse Falcon. I served with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam.
Those are awesome suggestions. I definitely will. Thank you for those and for the supportive comments. I truly appreciate it. Thank you for your service as well.
Lee Ermey, the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket, buried here also. Been enjoying your recent posts. Thanks.
One of the things this video brings up is, "It's not just the person that enlists that serves, it's their family as well." That simple fact is forgotten, in some cases.
I appreciate that about Arlington, families are buried together. Thank you for that insight appreciation.
You are a great military person and I have only seen 3 of your episodes and thank you for your service maam
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate you and it is our honor to serve our country.
@@WalkwithHistory I know ma'am I was in the navy myself , you and your family have the greatest year , my time was when Iran held our people hostage
A point of history. Robert E Lee had by this time long since freed the slave at Arlington.
I had read that the enslaved, such as Selina Gray and her family, were not freed till December of 1862 under the will of George Washington Parke Custis.
He and his wife had freed all their slaves. When Lee’s Wife’s father passed on Lee was made the executor of his estate. The estate owned slaves. Lee took 5 years to set them all free. As a side note, when a black man tried to enter Lee’s church, the black man was turned away. Upon finding out about this he took the black man to the church, let him in, and both men prayed at the altar. This happened after the war.
I just saw your video at Arlington National Cemetery and you did great with the tour of the soldiers who are buried there. Yes. Freedom is not Free.
Thank you for watching. We appreciate your support.
I loved hearing the complete story of Robert Todd Lincoln! Great video!
Thank you.
Good gravy! You leave the heart on top! Thank You, please! Leave it on top!

@@WalkwithHistory and Thank You for Your Service. May the Father in Heaven bless you and Your family!!!!!
I always thought it was wrong that bob hope is not there
Bob Hope was like no other. I miss that.
IVE BEEN TO ARLINGTON THREE TIMES JUST RECENTLY IN FEBRUARY 2020, IVE VISITED LEE MARVIN AND AUDIE MURPHY AND MANY OTHERS BYT I LIKE TO SAY AUDIE WAS THE HIGHEST DECORATED SOILDER OF WWII. NEVILLE BRAND WAS ALSO HIGHLY DECORATED TOO.
I was at Arlington a few years ago on an Honor Flight. Primarily we were there to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns and watch the changing of the guard. It was awesome. However, before we went, I had called the Cemetery to ask about visiting my first CO's grave. One of the men who take care of the Cemetery, a member of the "Old Guard," came to meet our buses. He took me off the bus and personally drove me to Capt. Livingston's resting place. He then drove me to the Tomb of the Unknowns. I wish they'd given us more time. Audie Murphy's grave is only 5 minutes walk.
BTW, you could've mentioned that Audie paid another price for his heroism. He suffered from PTSD the rest of his short life.
Audie was amazing indeed.
God bless you and from this United States Marine I want to thank you for this tour and thank you for your service Ma’am! Fair winds and following Seas!
Thank you for your service. I appreciate your comment.
@@WalkwithHistory absolutely! I’d love to see you host more historical tours; maybe civil war battle fields or even battle ships or other historical places!
Semper Fi
We have a fair amount of those coming this year. 😊
May God always bless you and thank you for your video and your service.
Thank you. 😊
Just loved this video. We were in Arlington in 2019, but got there late in the day which prevented us from seeing all the graves we wanted to. You covered may of the ones we missed. Thank you for your service and this wonderful video.❤
Thank you and thank you for watching! 😊
Robert E. Lee married a granddaughter of Martha Custis Lee. They were THE couple prior to the Civil War and Lincoln offered leadership of Union forces to Lee. He spent a sleepless night considering it and said later he decided he could not take up arms against Virginia. Gives you a sense of how important states' rights actually were. Before the Civil War authors used to write, "The United States are...", afterwards they wrote, "The United States is....". I'm so proud of you for not repeating that ridiculous, apocryphal story about Bob Keeshan and Lee Marvin on Iwo Jima.
Yes Lee was quite the man and I think he thought about the big picture in regards to states rights more than people realized. Thank you for the kind words.
Outstanding video, thanks you for your service, I did 26 years. Don't for get Theodore Roosevelt my favorite. Thanks again.
Thank you, and thank you for your service. I do a video about TR’s inauguration in Buffalo New York.
Ive been to washington D C and could see Arlington from the monuments. Would have loved to be able to walk through it but didnt get the chance. What a beautiful place. Didnt know so many famous people were there. Thank you for your service to all those who have passed on and those still here with us ❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experiences
Thank you for watching. ♥️
Thank you for your service!
It was always my honor to serve my country. Thank you.
Thank you for your service. and Thanks for this video GOD BLESS
Thank you. God Bless.
The most impressive thing about Lee Marvin was despite his accolades as an actor including being an academy award winner, is he is buried in Arlington national cemetery and his headstone says Lee Marvin U.S. Marine,,,, Semper Fidelis.
So true!! Thank you for watching. 🤘🇺🇸
