My great grandfather chief Pushmataha is buried in the congressional cemetery. As a military wife thank you for paying a tribute to those who fought for this country 💜💜
He was from Mississippi! Few people know about him. I heard he was close to President Jackson. That's awesome he is your grandfather. Bless him and his memory.
@@jerryloufretz1797 me too. My family went to visit his grave once it was open to the public. Unfortunately, I was too little to remember-just as I was too little to remember being taken to see the Queen when she came to D.C.

Both my Grandparents are buried in Arlington National Cemetery.. It's a very humble place. God.bless the men and women who sacrificed their life. Thank you for a beautiful video
As a European, I visited Arling twice. Gets to me every time. Last time I had my 17 yo daughter with me, she was very impressed. I think it must be an increadible honor to be huried there. My late father told me so often that we enjoy our freedom thanks to the Americans in WW2. Lots of US tanks memorials here in the ardennes, we will never forget!
I also appreciate the massive contribution of the Americans in WW2 but as a European you should also not forget the huge contribution of the UK and our Commonwealth troops, and others including the Soviets who lost the highest number of people in the conflict.
My family took a trip up there in the mid 90’s. Got to see the Kennedys and the tomb of the unknown, would love to make another trip now that I’m older and can appreciate it better
The Immortal words of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy “My Fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”. RIP Mr. President
Thank you for visiting Arlington. My grandfather and great grandfather are laid to rest there. It is sacred ground and makes one feel so proud to be an American 🇺🇸 I am a new subscriber as of today.
This was so respectful and appreciated. I love the views of the Washington Monument in the background. My mother's brother is buried there. He was shot down over Europe in WW2. He was only 26 years old. Thank you for honoring our vets.
Thank you for sharing with us the gravesites of the Kennedy brothers. Including Joseph Jr. One of my dreams is to lay flowers on J.F.K.'s grave. I never saw Robert or Ted's grave and to see Joseph Jr.'s site as well. Also, thank you for sharing with us the task of the Guard and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. What incredible discipline each guard has. This was extremely well done and full of respect. Thank you again.
In addition to my first comment, here's a cool story. In sixth grade I lived in Hahira, GA. We took a field trip to DC and we visited ANC and saw the Tomb of the Unknowns. I was amazed at the precision of those guys. Fast forward a few decades and I joined the army. I was plucked by the army to join the Old Guard because of my height and measurements, etc. My platoon Sergeant became Sergeant of the Guard at TUS, and made me go with him. One day I found myself walking onto the plaza standing in the inspection block (nervous as hell....huge crowd for my first walk) and remembering standing there in 6th grade. It somehow came full circle and I became a Sentinel at TUS. Now I'm out and I work at ANC leading funeral ceremonies and assisting grieving families.
Thank you. Lots of of famous people there . You did not show the Apollo 1 astronauts. I grew up as a child on Fort Myers and spent countless hours riding my bike and exploring the cemetery. It is truly the ultimate place of reverence and honor.
I have a great uncle there ,Captain Adelbert Althouse.He scored the first touchdown in the very first Army Navy game he was a graduate of Annapolis,he also served as a governor of Guam after the first WW.
I've been here at this cemetery. We came here during our 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C., and it was really a huge privilege. We actually saw the grave of President Kennedy, the Eternal Flame, and the switching of the Guard. That was back in 2014, but it was one of the greatest things I've ever had the chance to do.
Arlington is such a great place to visit. Especially with the changing of the guard at the Unknown Soldier tomb. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I can tell in your voice the reverence you have for that place.
My best friend’s husband, SGT Gene L Lamie is buried there. Another friend was part of the Old Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The video showed the beauty but seeing It in person takes your breath away.
I so enjoyed this video, though tears were shed. I was a small child when President Kennedy was assassinated, and I remember the saddest of days that followed. Then there was Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and I wondered how could these have happened "in the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Thank you for such a respectful and beautiful tribute. Your choice of music is perfect.
My grandmother was a veteran of the Woman's Army Air Corps during WWII & she was able to march in front of of FDR & his little dog falla ( spelling?). Thank you for sharing your stories, the beautiful music & the videography as well. Each video gets more & more beautiful & interesting
I have been to Arlington National Cemetary 5 times .... and each time is such an honor. I have stood at the chain by Kennedy's grave, saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and toured the cemetery. We were privileged to see the funeral of a Marine Col. ....... what an honor that was. We were just asked not to take pictures of the family, which we did not. It is something I wish everyone could see. I have a friend whose father is buried at Arlington. I live in California but every time I am back there we always visit Arlington.
Thank you very much for showing of President Kennedy's family,the most beloved and adored family of the world. R.I.P. JFK, THE US PRESIDENT and his Family.
J'ai eu l honneur de visiter ce cimetière qui m a émue aux larmes. Respect pour cet hommage 'ces valeureux hommes sont honorés' je suis fille d un militaire français 'marin 15:31 15:31 qui a fait la guerre' merci pour ces images qui me rappellent ce merv voyage
You have done another wonderful video. I always have wanted to go to Arlington but have not been able to. My husband is retired Army and my father and all my uncles served in WWII. We are a proud military family and this touches us so much. Thank you for the way you always show such respect for those you visit.
My Dad lives in Arlington and when I visit, I always make time to go to Arlington National Cemetery. It's very beautiful and one of my favorite places. If you visit, make sure you take your time while there.
@@Whittdocs You definately must. It's so massive and there are so many amazing graves and people buried there. I've been many times but I still have much more to explore. I'll be back down again soon and I can't wait.
You probably don't know the truth about Arlington. You know, it being Robert E. Lee's home and Plantation, till he was offered Command of the entire US Army., but, turned it down, because he couldn't fight against the whole of his Family. The US troops took it from them after he left for Richmond. His wife's Father owned it (George Washington Park Custus, and YES, He's the Grandson of George and Martha Washington, and Lee's wife the Great Granddaughter. His OWN kids being the Great Great Grandchildren of the founder of the US!! Kinda warped, isn't it??) And gave it to them as a Wedding gift.
I was lucky enough to lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It was a peaceful and touching moment. It even was a driving factor for me to become a history teacher when I grown up later in the years
You didn’t visit Audie Murphy’s Grave. He was the most decorated Army soldier in World War 2 and afterward became a movie star of Westerns in the 50’s and 60’s. He was also a poet and country songwriter and had some of his songs recorded by some of the best country and western singers of the day such as Johnny Cash, Roy Clark and Charlie Pride to name a few. Audie was killed in a plane crash in 1971. His is the second most visited grave site in Arlington behind President John F. Kennedy.
I remember Audie Murphy from when I was a little girl me and my mom loved watching the westerns he played in and I always swore I would name my first son Audie,Well my sons dad would let me name him that so we named him Kyle instead
Your post is written just like the bio I had to memorize to be selected as a member of the SGT Audie Murphy Club in the U.S. Army. Audie Murphy’s Biography Audie Leon Murphy was a legend in his own time - a war hero, movie actor, writer of country and western songs and poet. His biography read more like fiction than fact. He lived only 46 years, but made a lasting impression on American history. Audie was born on a sharecropper’s farm in North Texas on June 20, 1924. As a boy, he chopped cotton for one dollar a day and was noted for his feats of derring-do and his accuracy with a weapon. He had only 5 years of schooling and was orphaned at age 16. After being refused enlistment during World War II by both the Marines and Paratroopers for being too small (5’5") and underweight (110 lbs.), he enlisted in the U.S. Army a few days after his 18th birthday. After basic training at Camp Wolters, Texas, and advanced training at Fort Meade, Maryland, Audie was sent overseas. He was assigned to the famous 15th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division where he fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. He earned a battlefield commission for his courage and leadership ability, as well as citations and decorations including every medal for valor that America gives. He was also awarded one Belgian and three French medals. Lieutenant Audie Murphy is one of the most decorated Soldiers in American history. Discharged from the Army on September 21, 1945, Audie went to Hollywood at the invitation of movie star James Cagney. He remained in California for the rest of his life and was closely associated with the movie industry, both as an actor and a producer. He acted in 44 films, starring in 39 of them. His best known film is "To Hell and Back", adopted from the best selling book of his war experiences. Most of his movies were westerns. In 1955, Audie Murphy was voted the Most Popular Western Actor in America by the Motion Picture Exhibitors. Audie wrote the lyrics to 16 country and western songs, the most popular of which was "Shutters and Boards", written with Scott Turner in 1962. The song was recorded by over 30 pop singers, including Jerry Wallace, Dean Martin, and Porter Waggoner. He was an accomplished poet; unfortunately, only a few of his poems have survived. In 1950 Audie joined the 36th Infantry Division ("T-Patchers") of the Texas National Guard and served with it until 1966. He was a Shriner (Mason) and belonged to several veterans’ organizations. Audie Murphy was killed in a plane crash on a mountaintop near Roanoke, Virginia on May 28, 1971. Fittingly, his body was recovered 2 days later on Memorial Day. Audie Murphy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His grave is the second most visited grave behind that of JFK's eternal flame.
Beautifully done! With the exception of Ted Kennedy and Jackie O, I felt like I was back in elementary school on our yearly field trip! Arlington National Cemetery is a beautiful and solemn place. When I was a kid I took field trips like this and Gettysburg for granted! I never appreciated that I got to go to these places. I also took going to the New Jersey beach every year for granted too until I met someone who lived in Montana that had never seen the shore or the ocean. Thanks for reminding me not to take these places for granted! My hubby retired from the Air Force 6 years ago after serving 22 years. Not many people show veterans the respect that they deserve. I am glad you do!
This gives me goosebumps. I am so glad that I found your channel! The feeling that I got when I first saw the graves was gratitude for the brave souls that gave their lives for our freedom. Freedom has never been free, and it never will be.
With Memorial Day approaching soon, Chris this is a most appropriate visit you made to one of the Nation's most Honored and Hallowed Ground, my prayer is that one day mankind will no longer need these sad remembrances. May God make it so. 💔
Thank you for this wonderful video. My two uncles are buried at Arlington, having died in action in WWII and the Korean War. They are buried next to each other. I attended their funerals as a child. I have been back twice. Such hallowed grounds.
My brother is interned there age 62. He had lung cancer, knowing that was going to be his resting place, he was so happy to be with the men and women of the Armed Services.
My brother and only sibling is buried at Arlington in Section 60. He was a Marine and died in Afghanistan in 2011. Thank you for visting this sacred place and paying your respects.
In Section 66 lies actor and WWII vet Charles Durning (Pappy O' Daniels from O Brother Where Art Thou). Also, in Section 12, right off of Grant Drive lies John Basilone. And near the old Administration Building at the intersection of Schley and Wilson drives is Admiral Doubleday who is credited is with the invention of baseball, although often contested. There's always baseballs on his headstone. And lastly in section 82 (new area of the cemetery) is R. Lee Ermey of Full Metal Jacket fame. I was the cemetery rep that did both Durning and Ermey's funeral services. It was quite an honor.
I would love to visit one day. I want to visit the tomb of the unknown soldier and pay my respect. So much history at cemeteries, especially Arlington.
Beautiful. Thank you for touring this landmark. I appreciate going with you on these tours. You have helped me respect and enjoy life more this last year since I have been watching your channel. Thank you so much.👍🏻
John F Kennedy is the greatest United States Of America President ever🇺🇲 Sending love from The United Kingdom Of Great Britain 🇬🇧 God Save Queen Elizabeth Il Of The United Kingdom n God bless John F Kennedy 🇺🇲🇬🇧
My senior trip had a stop here. This was in 1973. It was one of my favorite stops. I am so honored to have been able to visit. We put a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. Visited President Kennedy's grave. At the time he was there with one of his children. We went all the way to his grave.
I have been to Arlington Cemetary, what an honor to visit. May everyone that is bury there, RIP. There memory will always be remembered. Such brave men & woman. My husband is buried in Calverton National Cemetary, in NY. He served proudly in Viet Nam. He always said, I have just one request when I pass away, to be bury in Calverton. It is also a beautiful well kept Cemetary. Very touching when your there. RIP all our brave service men & woman. We thank you.
Both my parents took me to Arlington National Cemetery at age 10 I was moved and asked my Dad how could anyone could do this to a fellow human. Thank you from a moved Canadian.
We were there in 2012 with my daughter's 5th grade class. Arlington is beautiful, somber,but peaceful. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of Unknowns is amazing. We were allowed to go right to JFK's grave. From there we could see the Washington Monument, the Capitol, and more. Our guide told us that Jackie choose that spot because when they were there one day, he looked down from the hill and saw so many things that are "Washington DC", and he told her, " I could stay in this spot forever." It truly is a beautiful, magnificent view. The big home that is there was General Robert E. LEE's wife's family home. The Union Army took it from them during the Civil War as revenge for leaving his commission as a Union Army officer to fight for the Confederacy. He did that because he said he could not fight against his beloved Virginia.
I went in the Army in 1970. I am probably one of a handful of remaining WACS (Women's Army Corp) still around. I was 18 years old when I walked into the Cemetery in Dress Greens. It was truly overwhelming. Especially with the rate of our young men dying during Vietnam. I will NEVER forget seeing the "Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers. The young man that represented a soldier from Vietnam was Michael Blassie and he was from Missouri. It was an honor to know he got to come home to his family. Nice Video sir thank you.
So very emotional I'm not from U S A but love comming to your country great respect for all military wish it could be shown all over the world they gave us a free country to live in fighting for us . Also your president's it was good to hear about them . R I P one & all
Another famous person buried there is famous Marine R Lee Ermey,section 82 #54 grave.He played the former drill instructor as a bad therapist in a Geico Insurance commercial
Been there many times. My great uncle is buried there.. Such a peaceful place. When my daughter was a girl scout, a few years ago, she and the other girl scouts had the honor to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown solder. It was very emotional for all of since the girls were so young. We went back another year during Christmas and we all layed Christmas wreaths on most if not all of the soldiers graves. On 2 different occasions the girl scouts, we were allowed to go inside of the White House for a tour. Toured the Petersen House where President Abraham Lincoln died. We are from Va., DC is only 3 hours away therefore we travel there often. So much to see there, so much history.
We live in Northern Virginia, and Arlington National Cemetery is right up the road, and we do visit it very frequently. They do have Trolleys that can drive you around, if you don't feel like walking that much...LOL Great video.
A very special place for people who lived exceptional lives or made the greatest of sacrifices by giving their life for their country to this I say thank you! 🌹
My 2x great grandfather is buried at the national cemetery in Chattanooga. He was killed marching to the sea with Sherman in 1864. He isn't famous but it is a beautiful national cemetery and does have some famous persons buried there.
I've seen the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. There was total silence and respect. It was an amazing experience and one I will always cherish.
Emotional is right. I have some very deep feelings for the fallen heroes of this country. It is very solum for me to see this. I have a dream to visit these places so many gave their lives to protect. Thanks so much for posting this. I will be proud to subscribe.
The remains of the Vietnam War Unknown soldier were removed and returned to his family after he was identified as Air Force Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie. The crypt was left empty.
Wow Chris, absolutely beautiful and so touching... thank you for such a lovely well done piece! Truly amazing and done so respectfully... much admiration! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you are the best I am so thankful I found your channel ❤️
I have 2 relatives buried there. One is my Uncle who married my Mother's sister. The other is also a relative of my Mother. He was a cousin who was the Commander of Annapolis.
Thank you for showing us this beautiful Cemetery in Arlington I've been there and I've seen the cemetery walkthrough it just amazing and gives me goosebumps
I’m not an American but even I teared up during this one. God rest all their souls ❤️ whatever your politics no one deserves to be shot by a cowardly murderer
This is a beautiful vlog and it does pays sweet homage to some of the nation's greatest leaders. I could watch it over and over and still feel a sense of serenity and nostalgia. Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us. ❤🇺🇲
Have visited this cemetery so many times over the years. While stationed at Ft Meade in the mid-70's we frequently went there. Several of my Commanding Officers are buried there including General William Knowlton..father of Holly Petraeus.
All wrestling place in cemetery should be the same respect as the Arlington cemetery. There is no different the dead is dead. Deserve the respect as much as the others that are so important at Arlington cemetery and of course the celebrities.
My great grandfather chief Pushmataha is buried in the congressional cemetery. As a military wife thank you for paying a tribute to those who fought for this country 💜💜
My respects to him. Thank you for sharing.
He was from Mississippi! Few people know about him. I heard he was close to President Jackson. That's awesome he is your grandfather. Bless him and his memory.
I was a young woman at the time of the assination of JFK and his brother Robert.
My high school drama teacher, George Robert Allen, is buried in Congressional Cemetery. I’ve never visited, as I understand it’s private.

Thank you for your service. My grandfather was a veteran. I always loved hearing his stories. He passed last year. I appreciate your kind comment.

What an Honor it was to watch this video dedicated to our fallen soldiers. Especially that of President John (Jack) Fitzgerald Kennedy. Made me cry
Thank you kind Sir for my Freedom! 🇺🇸💞
Thank you Whittdocs for taking me here, I've never gotten to go here. My dad served in the Japanese Theater WWII, he's buried in Hillside, IL.
Beautiful Cemetery thanks for the good Vibes

How come you didn't visit Audie Murphies grave? He did m poop re f of r our country than all the other people you visited , even the president
I think so too, especially in the current times.
Very well done! Arlington is a beautiful cemetery and well maintained. As it should be. Thumbs up!

I was lucky enough to lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It was a peaceful and touching moment. It even was a driving factor for me to become a history teacher when I grown up later in the years
That’s such a neat story. Thank you for sharing.
I was there in 217. It is a beautiful and sacred cemetery.
You didn’t visit Audie Murphy’s Grave. He was the most decorated Army soldier in World War 2 and afterward became a movie star of Westerns in the 50’s and 60’s. He was also a poet and country songwriter and had some of his songs recorded by some of the best country and western singers of the day such as Johnny Cash, Roy Clark and Charlie Pride to name a few. Audie was killed in a plane crash in 1971. His is the second most visited grave site in Arlington behind President John F. Kennedy.
I really hope to make a return visit and pay my respects to him. Thank you for watching.
He also missed Lee Marvin's grave
He sure did.
I remember Audie Murphy from when I was a little girl me and my mom loved watching the westerns he played in and I always swore I would name my first son Audie,Well my sons dad would let me name him that so we named him Kyle instead
Your post is written just like the bio I had to memorize to be selected as a member of the SGT Audie Murphy Club in the U.S. Army.
Audie Murphy’s Biography
Audie Leon Murphy was a legend in his own time - a war hero, movie actor, writer of country and western songs and poet. His biography read more like fiction than fact. He lived only 46 years, but made a lasting impression on American history. Audie was born on a sharecropper’s farm in North Texas on June 20, 1924. As a boy, he chopped cotton for one dollar a day and was noted for his feats of derring-do and his accuracy with a weapon. He had only 5 years of schooling and was orphaned at age 16.
After being refused enlistment during World War II by both the Marines and Paratroopers for being too small (5’5") and underweight (110 lbs.), he enlisted in the U.S. Army a few days after his 18th birthday. After basic training at Camp Wolters, Texas, and advanced training at Fort Meade, Maryland, Audie was sent overseas. He was assigned to the famous 15th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division where he fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. He earned a battlefield commission for his courage and leadership ability, as well as citations and decorations including every medal for valor that America gives. He was also awarded one Belgian and three French medals. Lieutenant Audie Murphy is one of the most decorated Soldiers in American history.
Discharged from the Army on September 21, 1945, Audie went to Hollywood at the invitation of movie star James Cagney. He remained in California for the rest of his life and was closely associated with the movie industry, both as an actor and a producer. He acted in 44 films, starring in 39 of them. His best known film is "To Hell and Back", adopted from the best selling book of his war experiences. Most of his movies were westerns. In 1955, Audie Murphy was voted the Most Popular Western Actor in America by the Motion Picture Exhibitors.
Audie wrote the lyrics to 16 country and western songs, the most popular of which was "Shutters and Boards", written with Scott Turner in 1962. The song was recorded by over 30 pop singers, including Jerry Wallace, Dean Martin, and Porter Waggoner. He was an accomplished poet; unfortunately, only a few of his poems have survived.
In 1950 Audie joined the 36th Infantry Division ("T-Patchers") of the Texas National Guard and served with it until 1966. He was a Shriner (Mason) and belonged to several veterans’ organizations. Audie Murphy was killed in a plane crash on a mountaintop near Roanoke, Virginia on May 28, 1971. Fittingly, his body was recovered 2 days later on Memorial Day. Audie Murphy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His grave is the second most visited grave behind that of JFK's eternal flame.
My high school science teacher, Captain Bill Yeskie is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He was a great man that truly loved his country.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
Beautifully done! With the exception of Ted Kennedy and Jackie O, I felt like I was back in elementary school on our yearly field trip! Arlington National Cemetery is a beautiful and solemn place. When I was a kid I took field trips like this and Gettysburg for granted! I never appreciated that I got to go to these places. I also took going to the New Jersey beach every year for granted too until I met someone who lived in Montana that had never seen the shore or the ocean. Thanks for reminding me not to take these places for granted! My hubby retired from the Air Force 6 years ago after serving 22 years. Not many people show veterans the respect that they deserve. I am glad you do!
I very much appreciate that comment. It’s comments like this that inspire me to keep going.
This gives me goosebumps. I am so glad that I found your channel! The feeling that I got when I first saw the graves was gratitude for the brave souls that gave their lives for our freedom. Freedom has never been free, and it never will be.
My condolences goes to ALL whose were buried @ Arlington Cemetery including John F. Kennedy, William Requilst for the past few years❤️❤️❤️❤️
With Memorial Day approaching soon, Chris this is a most appropriate visit you made to one of the Nation's most Honored and Hallowed Ground, my prayer is that one day mankind will no longer need these sad remembrances. May God make it so. 💔
I really appreciate your heartfelt comment. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful video. My two uncles are buried at Arlington, having died in action in WWII and the Korean War. They are buried next to each other. I attended their funerals as a child. I have been back twice. Such hallowed grounds.
My brother is interned there age 62. He had lung cancer, knowing that was going to be his resting place, he was so happy to be with the men and women of the Armed Services.
I appreciate his service. Thanks for sharing.
RIP to all these heros off freedom 🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
My brother and only sibling is buried at Arlington in Section 60. He was a Marine and died in Afghanistan in 2011. Thank you for visting this sacred place and paying your respects.
Thank you for showing us Arlington, would love to visit it someday
It’s an amazing place. Thanks for the comment.
God bless 🙏 them all for their service.
Thank you for this comment.
My family went to Arlington National Cemetary July 1997 it was very emotional . It meant a lot to me to be there.
I really enjoyed my visit. So glad I was able to make it.
In Section 66 lies actor and WWII vet Charles Durning (Pappy O' Daniels from O Brother Where Art Thou). Also, in Section 12, right off of Grant Drive lies John Basilone. And near the old Administration Building at the intersection of Schley and Wilson drives is Admiral Doubleday who is credited is with the invention of baseball, although often contested. There's always baseballs on his headstone. And lastly in section 82 (new area of the cemetery) is R. Lee Ermey of Full Metal Jacket fame. I was the cemetery rep that did both Durning and Ermey's funeral services. It was quite an honor.
Interesting that RFK & Ted Kennedy’s gravesites are so simple. Thanks for sharing. -Meg
Thank you so much for watching!
I would love to visit one day. I want to visit the tomb of the unknown soldier and pay my respect. So much history at cemeteries, especially Arlington.
I hope you get too. Wonderful visit.
Beautiful. Thank you for touring this landmark. I appreciate going with you on these tours. You have helped me respect and enjoy life more this last year since I have been watching your channel. Thank you so much.👍🏻
Comments like this make me keep going. I truly appreciate that.
👍
John F Kennedy is the greatest United States Of America President ever🇺🇲 Sending love from The United Kingdom Of Great Britain 🇬🇧 God Save Queen Elizabeth Il Of The United Kingdom n God bless John F Kennedy 🇺🇲🇬🇧
My senior trip had a stop here. This was in 1973. It was one of my favorite stops. I am so honored to have been able to visit. We put a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. Visited President Kennedy's grave. At the time he was there with one of his children. We went all the way to his grave.
Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate you watching.
I have been to Arlington Cemetary, what an honor to visit. May everyone that is bury there, RIP. There memory will always be remembered. Such brave men & woman. My husband is buried in Calverton National Cemetary, in NY. He served proudly in Viet Nam. He always said, I have just one request when I pass away, to be bury in Calverton. It is also a beautiful well kept Cemetary. Very touching when your there. RIP all our brave service men & woman. We thank you.
My grandfather is buried in a veterans cemetery. So, I know what you mean. Very beautiful and humbling to visit.
My parents are in Arlington in a columbarium and a friend of mine from high school is buried by the tomb of the unknown. It's a beautiful cemetery.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I appreciate their service.
Both my parents took me to Arlington National Cemetery at age 10 I was moved and asked my Dad how could anyone could do this to a fellow human. Thank you from a moved Canadian.
Perfect video for my elementary students to see before Memorial Day. Thank you! I also loved the choice of brass music.
That’s great! Thank you so much for sharing it.
Arlington national cemetery is so beautiful may all who rest there be granted eternal peace. Thank you Wittdocs for sharing this.
I really appreciate your comment.
Thank you for going to Arlington National Cemetary
I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much.
We were there in 2012 with my daughter's 5th grade class. Arlington is beautiful, somber,but peaceful. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of Unknowns is amazing. We were allowed to go right to JFK's grave. From there we could see the Washington Monument, the Capitol, and more. Our guide told us that Jackie choose that spot because when they were there one day, he looked down from the hill and saw so many things that are "Washington DC", and he told her, " I could stay in this spot forever." It truly is a beautiful, magnificent view. The big home that is there was General Robert E. LEE's wife's family home. The Union Army took it from them during the Civil War as revenge for leaving his commission as a Union Army officer to fight for the Confederacy. He did that because he said he could not fight against his beloved Virginia.
@@vickiebohy1742 I would of loved to go to see the graves that is a trip of a lifetime
Been there so humble to go it was heart breaking you can feel something totally different on those grounds. Pride love country honor respect
I loved my visit here. I can’t wait to go back.
Wish me Luck, I am trying to get a job there as a Guard.
Good luck! I hope that you’re able to.
No video can ever do this cemetery justice but I think he did a marvelous job! Most humbling experience I’ve ever had seeing the endless rows.
I appreciate you saying that. Thanks so much for watching.
My dad was retired military he passed in 2006 thank you for showing us Arlington
I appreciate your dads service. Thank you for watching.
I went in the Army in 1970. I am probably one of a handful of remaining WACS (Women's Army Corp) still around. I was 18 years old when I walked into the Cemetery in Dress Greens. It was truly overwhelming. Especially with the rate of our young men dying during Vietnam. I will NEVER forget seeing the "Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers. The young man that represented a soldier from Vietnam was Michael Blassie and he was from Missouri. It was an honor to know he got to come home to his family. Nice Video sir thank you.
I truly appreciate your service. Thank you so very much.
I went in the Army in 1973 as a WAC. There are still a few of us around
So very emotional I'm not from U S A but love comming to your country great respect for all military wish it could be shown all over the world they gave us a free country to live in fighting for us . Also your president's it was good to hear about them . R I P one & all
I really and truly appreciate this comment.
Another famous person buried there is famous Marine R Lee Ermey,section 82 #54 grave.He played the former drill instructor as a bad therapist in a Geico Insurance commercial
His grandson and I went to boot camp together and served at various times together while in the marines. Great guy and so was his grandfather.
I would love to have visited him. There are just so many famous people there. I really need to make a return trip.
Been there many times. My great uncle is buried there.. Such a peaceful place. When my daughter was a girl scout, a few years ago, she and the other girl scouts had the honor to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown solder. It was very emotional for all of since the girls were so young. We went back another year during Christmas and we all layed Christmas wreaths on most if not all of the soldiers graves. On 2 different occasions the girl scouts, we were allowed to go inside of the White House for a tour. Toured the Petersen House where President Abraham Lincoln died. We are from Va., DC is only 3 hours away therefore we travel there often. So much to see there, so much history.
I really appreciate you sharing this. Thank you.
We live in Northern Virginia, and Arlington National Cemetery is right up the road, and we do visit it very frequently. They do have Trolleys that can drive you around, if you don't feel like walking that much...LOL
Great video.
A very special place for people who lived exceptional lives or made the greatest of sacrifices by giving their life for their country to this I say thank you! 🌹
Excellent video, thank you for bringing it to us. I especially enjoyed seeing the soldier guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier👍❤️👏
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Wonderful piece, production and presentation. Great work and subject. Thank you.
My 2x great grandfather is buried at the national cemetery in Chattanooga. He was killed marching to the sea with Sherman in 1864. He isn't famous but it is a beautiful national cemetery and does have some famous persons buried there.
I would love to visit there sometime.
It was beautiful and emotional watching that serviceman perform his ritual of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
It sure was. I really hope to make a return visit.
@@Whittdocs Thanks for letting me know you read my comment. That personal touch is nice, although it must be time consuming!
I’m just thankful that people watch and comment. I love being able to respond to my viewers. Thanks so much for watching.
I've seen the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. There was total silence and respect. It was an amazing experience and one I will always cherish.
It’s truly an amazing experience.
Amazing, A Very Sacred Humbling place to walk through. Every one should see it in their lifetime.
Emotional is right. I have some very deep feelings for the fallen heroes of this country. It is very solum for me to see this. I have a dream to visit these places so many gave their lives to protect.
Thanks so much for posting this. I will be proud to subscribe.
I appreciate your comments.
Just a beautiful peaceful place. It was an honor to visit back in the 70’s🫡
The remains of the Vietnam War Unknown soldier were removed and returned to his family after he was identified as Air Force Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie. The crypt was left empty.
Thank you so much for that. I appreciate that.
He’s now buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery outside St. Louis
Why are they guarding an empty tomb? How did they find out the name of the unknown soldier?
There are still remains of unknown soldiers in the tomb.
@@debkerr2393 He was identified thru DNA testing.
I am always touched by the dignity and sense of peace at Arlington.
Beautiful documentary. May their souls rest in peace.
Thank you for your kind words. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video it means a lot to me because my Daddy has served in the army I want to appreciate that thank you
I certainly appreciate his service. Thank you for this kind comment.
Wow Chris, absolutely beautiful and so touching... thank you for such a lovely well done piece! Truly amazing and done so respectfully... much admiration! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you are the best I am so thankful I found your channel ❤️
I’m thankful that you found it too. I really appreciate the kind words.
I have a good friend from my time in the military buried there. Such a prestigious place of honor.
Thank you so much for sharing that.
That was beautiful! Thank you for honoring these fallen.
I appreciate that very much. Thank you.
Truly amazing, and the touch of the song Hard Times Come Again no More really adds a calming feel to it.
Thanks for the kindness. A few people have complained about the music. I like it in there though. I truly appreciate your comment.
@@Whittdocs People complaining about a folk song that is about the pursuit of peace??? Man... that's honestly odd...
I have 2 relatives buried there. One is my Uncle who married my Mother's sister. The other is also a relative of my Mother. He was a cousin who was the Commander of Annapolis.
That is so very neat. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for showing us this beautiful Cemetery in Arlington I've been there and I've seen the cemetery walkthrough it just amazing and gives me goosebumps
It does me too. It’s truly an experience to visit here.
My uncle David Carson is buried there. He was a life-long army man who flew helicopters into battles. He was a Lt. Colonel.
Thank you for sharing that. Appreciate his service.
GOT A CHANCE TO VISIT ARLINGTON IN 2016. THAT EXPERIENCE IS STILL FRESH IN MY MEMORY.
Bless their hearts. Rest In peace. ::::: salute::::
Thanks for that comment.
What a fascinating cemetery full of history and interesting people who are laid to rest there
I’m not an American but even I teared up during this one. God rest all their souls ❤️ whatever your politics no one deserves to be shot by a cowardly murderer
Thank you so much for watching. Where are you from?

Have visited this cemetery so many times over the years. While stationed at Ft Meade in the mid-70's we frequently went there. Several of my Commanding Officers are buried there including General William Knowlton..father of Holly Petraeus.
Thank u so much for this video of the Arlington National cemetery. My grandparents are in a mosaleum there. They were creamated
That is such an honor. Thankful for their service. I appreciate you sharing that.
@@Whittdocs your very welcome my friend. Please keep up the great work. I enjoy all ur videos
All wrestling place in cemetery should be the same respect as the Arlington cemetery. There is no different the dead is dead. Deserve the respect as much as the others that are so important at Arlington cemetery and of course the celebrities.
