As a Navy pilot you should have known better girl. These are not soldiers. They are Marines. There is a difference.

As a 30 year retired Marine I appreciate this video, these are the men and women I represented and knew I had to uphold a HIGH standard. Thank you for your work at putting this all together, you do a DAMN FINE JOB!

I’m a medically disabled Marine that got to see the Marine Corps Bugle Band and the Silent Drill Team at MCRD San Diego when I was in Boot Camp in 1986 and I got to see them again at Arlington National Cemetery in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial in 1989 with my pastor that was a Marine in Vietnam 🇻🇳 that did two tours of duty in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and he had never seen the Marines Bulge Band or the Marines Silent Drill Team and he was glad I talked him into seeing them in person.

Megan McClung was also one of the first, if not the first, female to graduate from the Admiral Farragut Academy North military school campus. She will always be remembered as an honored alumna. High the silver and the blue willl ever be flown. Godspeed, sister.

I'm a USAF veteran, history buff, and father of a 6-year-old severely autistic child. I will probably never have the chance to visit these historic places, so I am so grateful that I can live vicariously through your videos! Thank you so much!

My son served as a Sgt in the Caisson Platoon for 4 years in the 90's. He presided at 495 ceremonial burials. I visited him and watched him do his duty there. We've walked Arlington several times and I am in constant awe there. Veterans Day on the Mall at the Memorials is a profound experience everyone should have. Thank you for your service. USAF 66-70.

Very well done Ma'am. I was honored to have been a Navy Corpsman attached to the Marines. It's an honor to be called a "Grunt" or "Ground Pounder". Some folks fear it, I embraced it. Went full Marine Corps Regs, and the highest award was to be called "Marine" for doing everything required to earn that title. *side note...My father was a combat pilot in the South Pacific during WWII. He swore me into the Navy, a year later he swore AT me when he learned I took the voluntary transfer! LOL....Very very well done Ma'am..and Semper Fi!

Got to meet The Gunny a few times once while I was serving and another at a convection. I love that Lee Marvin just wanted a standard headsstone.

Just found your channel, I am loving it. especially Veterans Day in Arlington | Honoring Marines, it brought me to tears and i am not a American i live Brisbane Qld Australia i have all ways been sparred USMC and the high stranded they set for themselves and thank you for your service this needs to be said around the world to all military services if was for Popole like you we would not have the freedmen we have all tne best for down under AUS

Love the videos. Thank you for your service. I am an USAF Veteran of the Viet Nam war but I have a son-in-law who served as a Marine at Fallujah and is now a police sergeant.

I haven't been to Arlington, but even on video the sight of all the headstones is heart-stopping. So many have served and so many have bled and died to allow us to live in freedom. Thank you for this touching tribute and thank you to you and Scott for your service as well. May God protect and bless those who dedicate themselves to this noble task.

Freedom is never ever free.

Pappy Boyington, like Ira Hayes was also an Indian a member of the Brule Sioux tribe. Boyington, was originally awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1944. When shot down over Rabaul on Jan. 3, 1944 because his was not found he was presumed dead. He was picked up by a Japanese submarine and spent 20 months as a prisoner of war – something American officials weren't made aware of until the war ended and released from a POW camp in Tokyo on Aug. 29, 1945. On Oct. 5, 1945, Boyington joined several other Marines at a ceremony at the White House to receive the Medal of Honor from President Harry S. Truman in person. Boyington's wife Josephine, donated his Medal of Honor to the Marines Memorial Association's Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco, where it remains on display in the club's restaurant. On a personal note I met John Glenn in September 22, 1996. My grandfather Asa a lifelong resident of Ross County, Ohio turned 100 years old that day, and Senator Glenn made an appearance at his birthday party.

I met Maj. Boyington at a book signing in CA, he was a gentleman and loved telling stories of his endeavors. I was shocked to find out I had shaken hands with a Medal of Honor recipient. Thank you sir for your service.

I always love seeing Arlington, theres so much to see and so many stories to hear. I couldnt even begin to suggest what to show or focus on. Selfishly, i love a good jfk episode, and could listen about the early astronauts for hours, but thats just me!

Yes they are a part of the Navy that is true. The Marines that I have served with, in any Marine that I ever have known has never wanted to be referred to as a soldier. That's all I'm saying.

We must continue to tech our kids in school about the sacrifices Americans before them made to make this country great and free. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

Periodic themed tours of Arlington National Cemetery is a great idea.

My great grandmother had a few brothers and a few sisters. One of her brothers fought in the Vietnam War and came home after that war alive. And her other brother fought in the korean war and a bomb or bullet hit his leg and he lost his leg in the Korean war. And lived a long life then passed away. And my 2nd cousin was a navy seal. I would have wanted to be in the military but i am in a wheelchair I have a disability called spina bifida I was born with.
