[@sandracarpenter144]

Thank you for sharing. Deep subject when looking at the human lives lost. I was blessed to have parents who would not watch the news when I was up. I was somewhat protected from the harsh reality. My awareness came when we moved to Boulder CO and I was exposed to the protests on the CU campus. I had older sisters who lost many classmates in Vietnam. My classmates and I are blessed to have been too young for Vietnam and too old for Desert Storm. I honor all who have served and are serving today. Thank you to you and your families. ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Love That you add info on all the places you go and visit. It is wonderful to see others views before you go yourself. Thank you for doing that. Have a fantastic week!!!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

With this place in particular it is so large i hope the video conveys just how much information is there waiting to be discovered despite only touching on a bit of the actual museum because it is so large!!

[@mattmorey3808]

Love this vid. Thanks for showing this ❤

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

No problem!! I really enjoy celebrating great educational opportunities for us to learn a bit more about our armed forces... they do so much that we as civilians will never comprehend.

[@roadbanditrunning]

I am just starting this video but I already know I am going to like it after seeing that tank.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Just wait until you get a bit further in... this place was so impressive and interesting and well done!! I would recommend this one to anyone interested in military history!!

[@travellogistics8481]

Music selection and introduction visuals were spot on.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you!! I wanted to try something new with the intro because it was so fitting when it comes to the nature of the location itself!!

[@creativedesignsources2640]

You are an amazing story teller who puts all these pieces together for us in these videos. Keep doing what you do, you deserve to be a part of the history channel teaching the way you do.

[@peggyoconnell4755]

After having seen how you covered out local Veterans Parade I knew your had a special reverence for our military and those who served. Thank you for caring about our armed forces and sharing places like these. We have several military service members in our family. I share all of your videos like this with them to show them that they are celebrated, respected and loved. What this man has done is give our country a gift of knowledge he should be thanked.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you Peggy first and foremost for being the best part of the channel always!! And thank you for sharing the videos of locations like these!!! I find that the more people know about places like these the more of a ripple of impact they can have!!! I agree that the man who created this location did something special, it is one of the best military museums I have ever been to!

[@michaelbonderton5056]

Inspired by your reporting of history as always young lady. You always manage to take the time to go below the surface and really find the story. Thank you.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you so much!! Places like these are important!! I feel the more we learn from them about the dynamics of what has produced some of the largest conflicts and wars the more we can see the true cost of war on the people, not only serving or having served but the civilians also. This collection was one of the most impressive I have seen and the museum is so well done!!

[@darlenestout7548]

Thank you for sharing this information.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

No problem!! I think places like this are super important!! I hope that everyone who is able to check it out can do so!!

[@codythelumberjack4946]

I would go here.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Its a great place!! One of the best military museums I have ever been to

[@sunsets.n.scrubs794]

If you haven't been, you need to go to the WWII museum in New Orleans and the museum at NAS Pensacola. They are amazing collections of memories and history.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I have not been to that one so I will add it to my list!!! Thanks!!

[@drkatarinablassik2592]

Sadly I have fallen behind on your videos so will be playinga bit of catch up over the next few days. My husband and I will be moving very soon following an early retirement and have always enjoyed and valued your videos in way of sharing the locations out there that we have not been able to visit. That will be changing and we will be traveling first here in the US then abroad. I am hoping to use your videos as incentives for visiting certain areas and always have appreciated your positive outlook on life even during the most grim of times these past couple of years. I, and others in my hospital family, have truly enjoyed your perspective and positivity and I hope you know that you are making a difference in this world. Thank you so much.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you so much!! I assume after the past couple of years a long and well deserved break is just what you need!! I know you both will enjoy your travels and I hope to lead you in some amazing directions through the videos on the channel!!!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you again for sharing your personal stories during the pandemic with me I feel as though your words really put into perspective the human toll of the front line workers for me and I have always tried to keep that with me when sharing information about safety!! Thank you for all your dedication!!!

[@guymurphy6982]

We all to often forget that not all superheroes wear capes, they way more often wear scrubs. Thank you very much!!

[@guymurphy6982]

Very well done, both museum and video. If you're ever passing through Oklahoma City, you might like the 45th Infantry Division Museum. Not nearly as big, but a nice collection of vehicles outside and artifacts inside. It's a free museum, donations appreciated.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Great tip for a place to check out!! I will certainly be checking it out!!! Thank you!!

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

I was raised in Connecticut Winchester Arms was in New Haven Connecticut. Marlins another gun manufacturer had a manufacturing plant in North Haven Connecticut my hometown.👀😎

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Interesting... i am not a gun person but i know a lot of people who do value guns and their history.

[@menotme5560]

I would love to see this place.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

One of the best military museums I have seen!!

[@rosemarycollins4682]

They have military museums like that in Topeka Kansas if you like that one you should go there there are multiple military places to see and learn about things

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Great suggestion!! I will have to check that out!

[@travellogistics8481]

I have said it once and I will say it 100 times someone needs to give you your own programming. This was top-notch education and some thing that I would expect out of academia. Your presentation and attention to detail is immaculate. You make hard to digest subjects user-friendly and encourage your audience to come to places like this despite the location being far out of The reach of many. You bring this to our living rooms just like Walter Cronkite.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I consider myself blessed that so many people want to see what I produce on KZbin so that is like having my own show already... but i always appreciate it!! I am working to create quality that also helps others see all that is out there so that they are inspired to visit if they can but also if they cannot i want to make sure they feel as though they have been a part of the story!!!

[@suearcher8708]

Great field trip Bunny! I never expected to watch the whole thing. I'm nearly 70 so I had relatives in WWII, Korea, and friends (along with an ex-husband) in Viet Nam. One of those friends pass just this year from issues related to agent orange. I had an uncle who was in all three of these conflicts. He died of pancreatic cancer over 20 years ago. Now we are hearing about cancer causing contaminants in the water at Camp Lejeune where he was stationed for several years between five tours in Viet Nam.

[@gerismix-upadventures]

My heart sank when you show the Vietnam War, my husband served in the Vietnam War, when he returned home he was never the same, in 1981 he committed suicide due to PTS, thank you for sharing and being so compassionate about all of your tours of the War Museum, my heart goes out to all the families that loss love ones during and after the wars, aloha from Hawaiʻi 🌺

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I am glad that I could bring this to you and also share with others. I find that so often channels focus on the fun and exciting things but rarely tackle the harder to swallow ones. Unfortunately this is also a part of our past and because of that many people including your husband were affected. That doesn’t mean that they should not be celebrated for what they have done for others and I always will honor and respect their service. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I hope to continue to represent our Armed Forces well through the challenging videos that tackle the subject matters.

[@gerismix-upadventures]

@@BunnyPlaysHere Thank you 🌺

[@Metimewithtia]

Thanks!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

No problem!!!!

[@Metimewithtia]

Great job on video Thanks!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you it is an amazing place!!

[@Metimewithtia]

You have done an phenomenal job with this video and commentary. Lots of very interesting things you pointed out. I just love the detail. As always you do a darn good job pointing out things in your adventures 👏 bravo amazing. Museum should sponsor this video.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

It’s always impossible to highlight everything in a museum however I wanted to give this one specifically a moment to shine. I could’ve continued on word for several hours with this however I had to cut some of it out so I hope that people will go there and visit and see all of the other things that weren’t able to make it.

[@rrhopewell]

This was absolutely amazing.

[@deniseyoung5385]

Thank you for sharing this. It’s a little bit different than the other videos of yours that I have seen, but this history and that insight you shared about what it must have been like for our service men and women through these historical battles and the impact it had on the area civilians and the families of those lost or injured. I come from a family with a strong military background as well as having many friends who have served. What they went through, what they contributed, and what they risked cannot be acknowledged enough. Keep doing what you are doing. Every place you go, I learn something. Sometimes it’s fun and frivolous, sometimes it’s conservation and outdoor activities or beautiful places that hopefully one day I will see, and sometimes they are tragic historical things that we must remember so that we don’t repeat. And that’s why educating your viewers is such a wonderful and beautiful gift that you are putting out into the world through your videos. You are a beautiful person inside and out, Bunny, and I am really enjoying your channel. Also, I had to edit to add that I was pulling out the tissue, especially during the Vietnam section, because my Daddy served in Vietnam. He doesn’t talk much about it, but he was very young, just 21, and I was a tiny newborn baby at home. We were lucky that my Daddy came home to us, but it definitely impacted him and my entire family, including my upbringing and my incredible respect for our Military branches. But seriously, waterworks, because I have very vague knowledge about it all, and yet it was such an impactful part of my father’s life. I am putting this in my list of places to visit, but I don’t know how you did this video without crying, but the emotion in your voice was felt for sure. Again, thank you.

[@thereseshine7506]

You're pretty awesome, Bunny!

[@bryman31]

AWESOME video. how long would you say it took to see the entire museum?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I would give no less than 2 hours... you could easily spend a day there if you enjoy history there is so much information and so many videos and displays

[@bryman31]

@@BunnyPlaysHere thanks!

[@frenchfan3368]

This museum certainly looks amazing and is on my list to visit eventually. The biggest problem I see with this museum is its location. Major museums of this quality need to be located within a three hour drive of a major airport so that people can actually get to it and enjoy it. Dubois, Wyoming might be a scenic place, but it''s also out in the middle of nowhere.

[@thomasmitchell7645]

That would be 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were interned during the war. Most of those interned were from California and the West Coast, rather than Hawaii, where there actually was a threat of espionage and sabotage.

[@cathyisaac7041]

I don’t want to see it. I live it at home. My Dad was so focused on the news every night. The draft numbers, he was still of age. He was lucky. They never called his number. My brother and 4 cousins were lost over there. 4 other relatives served. They were NEVER the same. PTSD. We come from a big family of military service. It was a honor to die in service to you country. They televised the war on the 6:00 news. Walter Cronkite was front and center. I think I got PTSD from watching the news.
