What a beautiful cemetery for our nations leaders and hero’s!! Thank you Jordan for another wonderful vlog!

[@mynameisvna]

What a beautiful cemetery for our nation's leaders. Great job on documenting our country's history. This is definitely on my bucket list!! Thank you Jordan!

[@anonymousm9113]

I spent over four years in The Old Guard, taking part in hundreds of military funerals. It wasn't until I was about to leave that I took the time to speed walk through and appreciate Arlington, taking plenty of pictures for a final project for my US History course. I conducted a few dozen more funerals there in 2018, including the first internment in the Millenium Project Expansion--two Unknown Soldiers found at the Manassas Battlefield. It's a somber but inspiring place. Also, for those wondering about the Soldiers in horses in front of the Sailors, that is the US Army's Caisson Platoon. They take part in every Full Honors funeral regardless of service branch. There's a lot more to see, including Pershing, Audie Murphy, a few of the Iwo Jima flag raisers, David Hackworth (semi-controversial but a true hero and great author), the Confederate Section (where a Soldier that shares my name lies), and the grave of Leslie Coffelt, a White House Police (later incorporated into the Secret Service) officer who helped to stop Puerto Rican nationalists from assassinating President Truman. I could write all night, but it seems that Jordan mostly stuck to the west of the Cemetery for this vlog and I hope to see a follow up with more. There are numerous memorials, the oldest burials are in the former rose garden of Mrs. Lee on the grounds of Arlington House, the spiteful Quartermaster General of the Union Army and founder of Arlington National Cemetery, Montgomery Meigs, is buried in the section near Old Post Chapel on Fort Myer (I believe this is where Abner Doubleday is buried as well), and of course Section 60 is where many of those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried, including a number of my friends. Finally (for now), Admiral Boorda, the first Sailor to advance from enlisted ranks to become Chief of Naval Operations, is buried in Section 64. He took his own life when his wearing of relatively minor valor awards (if there's such a thing, but this was a Commendation and Achievement Medal, not the Navy Cross or Medal of Honor) was called into question by David Hackworth (mentioned above). Okay, I'm done...on to more KZbin.

[@Twinsconspiracy]

Wow! Thank you for all that. I don’t see myself ever being able to visit this amazingly somber place, so it’s fascinating to read about those buried there.

[@stitchlilo01]

“The House” you referred to is “The Robert E. Lee House.” Let’s call it what it is. Thank you for taking us on the tour of the most hallowed grounds of our country. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

It's actually called the Arlington house by the cemetery..

[@kathleenbrenner2889]

@@DazewithJordantheLion .....it’s actually Robert E Lee’s house. His family left before the Union troops got there and the Secretary of War decided to start burying Union dead there so the family would never want to return. Years later Lee’s son sued the government and won. He took a settlement over removing the bodies

[@veronicareeves2629]

I love it! Thank Jordan for this beautiful heartfelt tour of Arlington cemetery.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, what a nice cemetery. I have always been intrigued by the Kennedys, I was surprised to see John, Bobby, Ted and Joseph buried so far apart, I thought they would have been all together. Great vlog Jordan.

[@samanthab1923]

Jackie & Patrick are with JFK.

[@janetwilson92]

A lot of times if they are illegible they can pick where they want to be buried in advance if it hasn't already been spoken for.

[@michelesowards7764]

Jordan, I'm glad you made it to this cemetery. A lot of our country's history is buried there. Excited for you!

[@TiaCatR]

Thank you Jordan for doing this interesting and worthwhile vlog! I loved that story about Ted Kennedy and Shelley Winters LOL. On a side note, Robert Todd Lincoln had a beautiful summer home in Manchester, Vermont called Hildene. It's now a museum, and if you ever wander up to New England, it is very much worth a visit in the summer or fall. Definitely vlog-worthy!

[@denisedarnell1641]

That was beautiful that you were able to see the funeral of a military person go by you ..amazing pride just walked by u...wow

[@1SeanBond]

A absolutely wonderful journey , what a excellent job Jordan Ty for taking us along...I have always enjoyed your amazing Camera work and editing. Much appreciated Cheers Jordan n Jah! Luv&Peace.

[@theangendeavor9910]

Oh my Jordan this is the cemetary vlog of cemetery vlogs!! Arlington is so impressive!! So many historical figures there! I was impressed with the Thurgood Marshal and RBG graves because they were such huge pioneers for civil rights and women's rights. The Kennedy Graves were so simple. Nothing fancy at all which was surprising. Bobby and Ted very simple markers. I think its so sad Bobby was killed he would have made a great president. He was a champion of the poor and civilrights and it makes me sad that the ones who actually want to do good are assassinated. I hope one day that changes. P.S. I thought that procession that you caught on the video was cool. I wonder who that was they were taking to the grave?

[@karenleemallonee684]

A place I would love to see, I guess you could say, it's on my bucket list. Thank you, Jordan! 🌼

Even though it's sad to see a Military funeral. It was incredible to see and the memory will last a lifetime for you.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

This is such a wonderful series of American Presidents and heros of the world who believed all American should be united as one not segregated like Medgar Evers . I have to give Shelley Winters story the thumps up 👍thanks for sharing it s quite the story Jordan had me in giggles . This was a great idea 💚👍

[@outsider238]

Very cool! I was there in the late 80s. JFK's grave wasn't very well maintained when we saw it. Overgrowth of grass between the stones and the flame was barely going. So much to see and do in D.C. One of my favorite trips I ever took. So much so, I went there twice!

[@nathaniela3900]

That’s exactly what I thought. It was a shame to see that

[@MarkM58]

They just recently did a multi-million dollar reengineering of the Kennedy gravesite. It was falling apart. There is a KZbin video on it.

[@outsider238]

Spectacular visit, I was there in the early 70’s, an honor to be amongst such hero’s, ty Jordan🤗

[@MattJ1977]

I stood there at Kennedy's grave back in 1976 when I was a traffic scout (crossing guard) in elementary school. All the scouts in Scioto Co. Ohio and surrounding counties got to go at the same time on Greyhound busses.

Jordan, my father is buried in section 62 there at Arlington National Cemetery and I was issued a parking pass to drive on to the grounds. Limited people are given access to visit.

Thanks so much Jordan. I've always watched everything about the Kennedys. love documentaries . You're the best. :)

Was there last week I'm handicapped was barely able to make the short treck to Kennedy resting place thanks for filling in all the rest for me

[@marklane3247]

Glad you were able to capture a procession. I have a family friend and her daughter buried there, The daughter, Sam Huff (and not an abbreviation, her name was just Sam), was offered a modeling contract for The Gap company at 16. She graduated from HS a year early and was the band's drum major. She told her parents, she wanted to enlist in 2004. Her recruiter thought she was crazy. 5ft tall and barely 100lbs. She did enlist at 17 to an MP company. In 2005, she was assigned to Bahgdad. She was a PFC and scheduled to man the 50 cal. Her commander instead has her drive the HMV as they escorted a dignitary from the city back to the airport. An IED went off right under the driver's set, causing severe injuries. She told her Sgt, while waiting for evac, "Tell my mom I love her and my dad to make his music." She died the following day, 2 months shy of her 19th birthday. Her mother and my childhood friend passed a few years later. A former Marine of Vietnam, she is buried with her daughter, Section 60, Site 8109.

A point of interest, in the military you always carry the body feet first. You could tell that by the flag. The blue field with the stairs is over the left shoulder.

I am glad you showed not just the Kennedys but some of the older presidents and justices, etc.. I know that Maureen O'Hara is actually buried there.

Arlington is an amazing place. I have been there many times and I live in Canada. The first grave I went to see was John F.

Jordan,, this vlog was awesome ! My friend , I live in montana for 31 years But from NY. I was 10 years old when JFK. Was shot have been to Arlington national cemetery countless times it was only 4 hours away from where I lived back then, I remember the first time I saw JFK s grave it looked nothing like it does now.. There was a mound of dirt ( I think) with a lot of military hats going in a circle around the flame. It looked cool, the first time I saw the grave was in 1965 with my school on a field trip. Back then we also toured the WHITE house ( imagine them letting people in now ? ) things have changed do Look much since then. Last time I was in Washington was 2011 .not to sound like Bob Hope ,, but thanks for the memories !!! Frank from montana...

[@janetwilson92]

I saw a video on the tube a while back that showed that JFK'S grave was actually dug up and moved. It was done in the middle of the night and Bobby Kennedy was there. If i'm remembering right I think Bobby had them open the casket. The reason they did it was because of the eternal flame. To start with the flame was hooked to a propane bottle but I figure they probably hooked it up to natural gas. I also found a book recently on how all the presidents died and where they are buried and it told about them moving his grave.

[@marywright6759]

One of the sadest times in my life besides 9/11, the days and following when the president was killed. I still tear up when I see videos of that time. I was 15.

[@QuinceyG]

Very informative video Jordan. The graveyard looks very beautiful and large. It looks really nice how the line up. Its really nice that the family can be buried together.

[@janetwilson92]

When Robert Kennedy grave wasn't going to be covered until the next day because of the late hour Bobby Darren stayed next to his grave all night.

[@paulineveloza4945]

I believe cemeteries that honor our past leaders and our vets, are a fitting tribute to these men and women. We live in FL, and my Husband and I, will be buried in one also, as my Husband is a vet!! I remember the day President Kennedy died, it was the first time I ever saw a nun cry. The sad part of Patrick's death, in the 70's, there was a new drug to help with pre-term lung problems. I also remember the day Robert died! Ted was my Senator before I moved!! This family as a whole, have given their lives in service to this country. The Special Olympics was created by Eunice Kennedy Shiver, in honor of her sister. I watched RBG help create many laws to help women! Roe vs Wade became law one month after I was married!! TY to all who have served our Country with honor and dignity!!

I never thought I would see the day that you would show my relatives. Not only that but you showed them first. I am a extended family member of the Tafts. William married my family member, Helen. Helen was either my many times great aunt or a distance cousin who acted like an aunt. Here the thing that many historians got wrong. It was believed that they started courting in their home state of Ohio. It wasn’t. They were publicly first seen courting in Ohio but they actually started counting in New England because they both had family members from there. My family had own this house and it was in my family for many generations until my great great grandmother died (I am pretty sure she would have been the last generation in my family to know William and Helen). But at this house there’s a cemetery and only my family members can be buried there. William and Helen apparently had plans to be buried there before it was decided that they would be buried at Arlington cemetery. Even though they are not buried at my family cemetery, they still have headstones there because they are still family. While my family no longer owns this home, we still have access to go onto the property to go to our family cemetery.

[@jeffreardon3969]

Hey Jordan, The house with the pillars on the hill above the JFK grave was the South's General Lee's home. His property was confiscated by the North during the war and obviously made into a cemetery for those who served. It was either his father or grand father who fought in the Revolutionary war. Great video.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yes, I know... but they kept referring to it as Arlington House everywhere, so I didn't bother saying either because no matter which one I say, someone will find the need to correct me.. which gets beyond obnoxious, so I just called it the house..

Just a point of interest, but Joseph Kennedy's stone is just a memorial stone, as his body was never recovered after his plane blew up in mid air during a WWII mission. Hard as it is to believe, but from the books I've read, Joseph Kennedy Jnr was even more charismatic and handsome than his younger brother John Kennedy.
