[@donnaheater9090]

Therese and Brett you are doing a fine job on your KZbin Channel. These things take time. And you have a lot of time. Almost like being “Funemployeed”. I am so happy for you. And looking forward to see where we are traveling to next. Don’t forget to pick up along the way a few sea shells for George’s Shelling Tree. Safe travels.🙏😇🫶❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@marriedagain2008]

A lot of history in there. That dress made from parachutes was so cool. Very talented ladies back in those days!

[@grannypeggy8987]

Haven't said Thank You for all the hard work You and The Other Ladies did and the Town Hall. Thanks for taking me on your Adventure. God Bless The Men and Women who Served. Both of my Son's Served in the Army. Take Care.

Thank you for your service

[@dwanenorvell1522]

Very awesome of you to take us on a tour everyday i can't wait to see what you 2 love birds are planning next nothing but love and positivity for both of you ❤❤❤

[@lynnestamey7272]

I hope that you have fun, enjoy your travels! I'm glad that you, Madame Mayor, got out of the situation. I don't know how you kept your patience with the two dudes who cared not one iota about your town. Thank you for your service!

[@lillylem]

It's amazing how individuals can be touched by viewing these monuments. It shows the love and respect for the ones who lost their lives fighting for us to be free and those who survived to share it personally. I pray at some point that the younger generations realize what our country is about and respect our flag and its meaning. My dad and my Uncles served in the ARMY. So seeing tributes such as those are awesome. Thank you for sharing. This is very informative. Beverly from Phoenix, AZ.❤

[@pamgrillo3084]

I love seeing those old military items. Went with my dad to a lot of old bases. My sisters and I were all born on bases across the country.

[@deborahfeagle9758]

Wow! Its been a long time since I have seen that museum in Camp Blanding. I'm 69 yrs. old and I was probably 9 or 10 yrs old when I went there. Alot of great memories and I appreciate the history more today. I love our military! Thank you every service man/woman who served to help keep our country free. Thanks yall for sharing this and your travels. Love yall!❤

[@nancybarnes9825]

Teresa first I love 💕 your shirt, the tour was fantastic ❤ I’ve had family members in the service from WW11 all the way to Desert Storm uncles to nephews ❤😊 I love your videos it’s like I’m going with you wherever you are going. 🙏❤❤🙏❤❤🙏❤️❤️🙏😊😊😊😊

[@Debbie_T_FL]

I love the military museums. I started my civilian DoD career at what used to be Fort Monmouth, NJ. So sad that it was part of the BRAC decommissioning stuff. It was an amazing base to work on with so much military history. God bless our Military and Thank You all for your Service!

[@catherinedrummond2663]

Thank you for reading about the monuments. I was born in 1940 during the war. So much of this time has been forgotten.

[@BetsyCRobison-sv5ml]

My father was in the 82nd Airborne and we had his trunk until a few years ago when it just was falling apart. I still have one of his uniform shirts and when I look at it I remember all the photos from his training and it makes me nostalgic and teary eyed.

[@Lunar-Sama]

Madam mayor we love you and your family!!!!!! We're so sad you had to step down as mayor !!!!!!!!! We hope your new life journey brings you lots of love and happiness

[@janmarco072]

Thank you both for taking use an this historical trip. To see this from the Netherlands is very interesting. Lots of American soldiers did die here in the Netherlands for our freedom. There are still around 8000 graves here at a place that's called Margraten. Every soldiers grave has been adopted by a Dutch citizen, and every 4 and 5 of May they put flowers on the graves because that's the day you gave us our freedom back. Thank you.

[@carolavw]

The Netherlands here as well! And I totally agree with you.

[@dianapickering6891]

Thank your fellow citizens for adopting the Graves and honoring of those who have fought for freedom of others. I lived in Germany in the 60's as a child of an Army military police officer. We traveled all over Europe to enjoy other cultures. Rich history.

[@juliehiestand8180]

Love seeing these grounds. Thank you. Check my niece. 2 star general, first female fighter pilot for the Air Force. She retired in September after 30+ years. Jeannie Leavitt. Lots of utube videos on her. Thanks for your service. Love your channel

[@Michaelrussell13]

God Bless you both for putting Unity back into community ❤

[@LucenaCityQuezon]

Thanks for the free admission to the Museum and the Military hardware!

[@rosagottschalk3090]

Thank you for our service, men & women of all branches of Military

[@paulotts]

I can certainly understand getting emotional about this. I went to the Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. The person leading the tour was speaking in almost a whisper and everyone heard her every word clearly. Before we left that Memorial there was not one dry eye.

[@lisapersino2729]

My uncle Eddie was with Patton . Was the coolest thing looking at the maps he had from that . Seeing every where they were when he was in the war . Sad part he passed away and I never knew . I will never get to ask him . He was a beautiful soul . An miss him . He was in his 90s when he passed

[@MaginFlaBlueChoice]

I’d definitely be crying my way through this memorial!!

[@glennstefan4303]

Thanks for the tour of Blanding this is what we need taught in history classes

[@suzanchamness376]

Thank you for sharing this video I come from a family of army 2 brothers, brother-in-law, 2 nephews and an uncle.❤❤❤

[@angelarichcreek]

Thank you for showing this! My daddy has his name on the Indiana wall. He was a Vietnam vet and passed 3 years ago from agent orange disease. God bless all of our veterans! 🫡 God bless all those who serve!

[@jasonkitching8643]

I’m a uk veteran that is a lovely memorial 🫡

[@donnastokes2187]

Thanks guys. Amazing video. Little known fact, less than 1% of our people in america join our armed forces. Pretty dang proud of that 1%.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GrandkidsTaxi]

Tears in my eyes! My husband was a Viet Nam Vet, Airborne Purple Heart recipient service related disability. And a PROUD American. This makes me so proud.

[@daviddeforest5774]

I would like to say thank you for his time in the military

[@GrandkidsTaxi]

Thank you David. I miss him a lot@@daviddeforest5774

[@kuttfam0191]

I had the honor to be at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines when the released POWs came through. I was there every opportunity we got. It was an amazing thing to witness. I appreciate your husband's sacrifice.

[@Kk-ej6vg]

My uncle was also a Vietnam vet that never came home. I carry one of his uniform patches as a reminder and I think of him as my guardian angel. 😊

[@Kk-ej6vg]

Thank you to your husband for his service. 🇺🇲

[@MaginFlaBlueChoice]

Bless all our active, retired & passed veterans! We are appreciated, admired & we thank you all!! Have Fun Madam Mayor & Mr. Mayor!! I’m jealous!

[@TracyT5150]

[@debbieroper8743]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place. Prayers for all current and past military. Prayers for your continued journey. Love you guys so much.

[@chanmi1957]

I grew up in Ohio not far from Wright Patterson A.F.B. There is a museum there with many WWII planes, more modern planes and even a space capsule. You can climb into the capsule and see just how crammed in the astronauts were. My dad was in the Army Air Corps during WWII. There is a plaque there honoring my fathers unit. Pretty cool. If you make it to south western Ohio you should stop by the museum. Plus, that part of Ohio is beautiful with state parks like John Bryant State Park. They have nice camping spots and incredible hiking trails. I am really enjoying your videos and I can't wait to see more. Thanks for the video!😊✌🚐🌴

[@ediemurray1692]

[@GigiCathyto6]

Loved the tour of the monuments and vehicles! A huge thanks to all of our military personnel for their service and sacrifices! So glad you had the opportunity to stay in such a serene place for a few days. You were such a blessing to Otter Creek. Your leadership was excellent especially in the face of all the challenges you faced. I know it was a team effort but leadership is key to what happens. God continue to bless you both ad guide your journeys!

[@Cwinger3]

My late husband was a Vietnam veteran as well. 100% disability rating due to exposure to Agent Orange. These memorials are very humbling. May God bless all of our troops, especially those that have lost their lives either in combat or afterwards. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

[@karenhoward7617]

Thank you for reading the plaques at Camp Blanding. It's all so interesting. I really enjoy following you. Madam Mayor, you are loved. You were the best for Otter Creek. I miss you there. Best wishes for your new adventures, and I am excited to go along . Safe travels 🙂💛

[@toddjsportsfan]

Thank you Madam Mayor Therese and Brent for this video, cool memorials of they used in WW2 and the museum, the history is so priceless and thank you to all the veterans who served protect our country. Looking forward to seeing video 3 😊

[@duaneedwards4189]

[@eliotheasman5378]

Very many thanks for all your service

[@nataliesingletary2022]

Thank you for your Service!! My husband was USAF for over 20 years and I am his proud widow. When I go through the gates of any base, I sigh and feel very safe!

[@sheliaharvel]

My Dad was in the Korean War. My son was in the Middle East war. I have a brother that was in the Army and also uncles.

[@LarryMikell-n3m]

A fan from Savannah Georgia enjoy your site keep up the good eoy❤❤❤

[@kuttfam0191]

I appreciate that you are bringing attention to our Nations Armed Forces. I love seeing the museums. My dad was 23 year Navy Vet and my father in law was 20 yours in the Air Force. We have instilled a respect for the military in our children. It has come full circle now to hear my grandchildren speak with respect about our service members.

[@babsmacier3167]

It makes me smile seeing the 2 of you and you’re looking so relaxed! ❤❤

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

😊 thank you

[@craigcanfield5474]

Thank you two for this tour. My Dad, Forrest Young, was a WWII Army Veteran & my husband, Craig Canfield, is a Viet Nam War Veteran. We live in Los Alamos, NM, where the movie "Oppenheimer" was partly filmed. My husband was born and raised here. His Dad was the head of Human Resources at the government laboratory. Lots of history here! ~ Mrs. C.

[@tomwundrock6954]

Thanks for the Camp Blanding tour. Thanks for all the service members !

[@JustMein2023]

Seeing this brought to mind my grandfather and his travel to Normandy. He didn’t want to talk about it much at all as I’m sure it was a hard time for all our service men involved. Thank You to all that have, are and will serve.❤

[@McGrath3399]

Madame Mayor and Brett you got me thinking about my dad. Thank you. He was in the Army a long time ago. He was born in 1927 and died in 2002 at 75 years old alone and was found 3 days later. Wish I could have been there.

[@venitashelby5449]

Tears. My Daddy was a Navy Sea Bee during WW2, both brothers were in the Army and my middle daughter was in the Air Force until 1993.

[@TheGirlwhoLovesCozyWool]

I live in the uk ,and we all fight for the same thing our freedom,no matter what goes on all we all want is freedom and we are lucky to have the services of our armed women and men protecting us so we can have that freedom and for the people who have died to protect that ,love seeing your military x

[@donaldvane4109]

Howitzers are still used in service today. My exe works for the US army as a civilian in the pyrotechnics division at the Picatinny arsenal in New Jersey. They did all of the modernization upgrades for the Howitzers in service there. It was really cool seeing them lined up outside the building where they were doing the upgrades. The pyrotechnic division she works with also designed the patriot missile.

[@joolsprice1475]

Thanks for a great video. I'm a UK 🇬🇧 veteran and throughly appreciated you both taking us around the museum. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the different military items ❤

[@angelwings8415]

Very nice, I enjoyed watching you tour around the area. It’s a beautiful place, my father in law is a Vietnam veteran and his father was a veteran and served in Germany with Patton and received a Purple Heart. He has since passed, but I can imagine he would have known about most of those vehicles first hand. Thank you so very much for sharing a tour of the area and reading those memorials for us. God bless the men and women who fought and died for our country so we can have the freedom we enjoy every day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 thank you so much for those who continue to serve.

[@LugerLau]

Schools should scheduled "field trips" to this museum every day. Our kids need to know why we are free today.

[@unclebo0001]

@Madam Mayor's Adventures. Thank you for sharing with us. And thank you for your service sir. Awesome video keep them coming 💓 💗

[@annnowakowski4106]

Thank you for the tour. My father was a pilot in WWII. Army Air Corps

[@sylviawiegand2153]

Thank you for letting us see the military camp grounds. Some of us can't go to them. ❤❤❤

[@mcherry205]

I love visiting war monuments and museums on Military Bases it’s always touching I also like going to PX’s and Commissary’s.Yal really should go to Ft Benning,RedStone Arsenal and Maxwell AFB.

[@amyforsythe587]

So glad to see your newest video of the museum on the base. You guys need to get a map for your travels and check it off as you go. Be safe and have a blast

[@dianapickering6891]

Thank you for showing us the museum and Camp Blanding. I'm an Army brat and enjoy seeing how history was made by any military branch.

[@Kk-ej6vg]

So proud my Grandmother was a Rosie the riveter in Kansas. ❤ love your channel!!

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Bill23799]

God bless you Madam Mayor and the first Husband. I do not blame you for wishing to leave the madness that is Otter Creek. You were a ray of sunshine and sanity while you served. I think the town's only path is to dissolve the local government.

[@MadamMayorsAdventures]

Or get good leadership wanting controlled growth for the town.

[@jenniemorgan5748]

Love watching your videos plus when you were actually the mayor and friends to both Jeremy and George. As a ex-serviceman of the Australian army. I had 23 years service and I can tell you no service vehicles are comfortable even the water ones. Yes, I had the misfortune of being on one several times, it’s how I found out that I get very sea sick. Lucky I had a sense of humour the males always teased me about creating great bait for them to fish from the sides. I loved those years and made some life long friends. Thank you very much for all have done for Otter Creek and for taking us all on your adventures. Jennie from Sydney Australia

[@capncrutchharper5825]

So happy you guys are living your dream. God bless your adventures.

[@mariayanakas8559]

I so love this! My Dad and my guy's Dad were both army in the 60-ties. My father worked motorpool. Where he would repair and take care of upkeep of vehicles. He also would be a driver for the higher ups. Two places he was stationed at was Lebanon and Germany. My guy was Navy 1985 to 1997. I forget the name but he worked codes for armed submarines. He also works as military police. He was station at many different places over his 12 years. A few places he was stationed at was Guam and Rhode Island. I am very proud of my guys that gave so much of themselves to protect our flag and people. This video is so great! Thank you for sharing this. I hope you both will share more of the places you camp at in the future. I also want to thank you for tell us about military campgrounds. My guy and I love camping and plan on camping as our end game. It's great to know we have more options by camping on military campgrounds for less than we pay for regular camp sites.

[@cathychamberlain4452]

Thank you for showing me things I would have never seen otherwise! 💜

Kingsley Lake where Camp Blanding is located on the southern side was the playground for Florida families in the 50s on. Good ole Florida fun. Fishing, swimming, water skiing, duck hunting, cookouts. The lake even had a water park of playground equipment in the shallow water of lake.

[@lisa8217]

Am sending prayers to you.

Thank you for showing us the campground I find that very interesting because I didn't kn there was one there I don't live in America but when my husband was in the Army 25 years

[@jillgott6567]

Very nice military families can camp on bases.

[@kimberlyhenline8934]

Thank you, Brett, for serving our country! 🇺🇲❤ When you were talking about the mail, my Uncle was in WWII (Navy), and my mom had all of the letters he wrote her. At that time they cut out all the classified info so they were kind of hard to read.

[@jessperham6468]

Be safe and keep up the good fun work

[@dorryfrost3915]

Think you’d love the war tunnels in Jersey in the Uk Channel Islands. The German army invaded and made islanders and prisoners of war dig out the tunnels to make into an underground base and hospital. It’s now a museum and some parts are still being restored as the German soldiers collapsed the tunnels before leaving the islands after Ww2

[@richardharris1818]

Loving your adventures you deserve these adventures

[@mableshortt93]

Camp Blanding is where my Dad went to Boot Camp way back in 1945.From there he was sent to Japan for 2 years.
