Sir yes sir! Great job on covering my Dad, The Gunny's site. Very informative and spot on. Thank you for your service as well. I hear they cover him on the tram tour as well. I go and visit him about 4 times a year. When I do I leave some of his memorial coins on his headstone for visitors to take. I'll be there for Memorial Day. Thank you again.

I did Charles Durning’s makeup for two shows. NOBODY was a better person than Charlie. I never laughed so much as when we worked together. He shared many stories with me about his war years. To say he experienced some awful times is an understatement. I commented that he had a great sense of humor. Charlie said “with all that happened to me, ya gotta be able to laugh.” God how I miss ya, Charlie.

"Sir, Yes Sir!" Charles Durning was a guest star on NCIS during the first or second season; he portrays a WWII Medal of Honor Recipient on Iwo Jima, brings me to tears every time. He also did a very moving reading during one of the Memorial Day concerts at the Capitol. A great American indeed. Thank you for posting. I truly enjoy these.

A great episode with a great actor! One of my faves! Lived him in Best Little Whore House too!

[@kyleh3615]

The opening of the episode is fantastic. Government metal detector screening, I believe 2 marines are running it. Unassuming old timer walks up and empties his pockets, metal detector still goes off. " oh, I forgot I had this on" and then places a Medal Of Honor in the tray like it was no big deal. I also believe they never explicitly showed him wearing the medal, only implied it.

[@michaelmckinnon3476]

In 1970 my father took our family to Virginia to see the historical sites. (Mount Vernon, Monticello, Arlington etc.) I remember standing on Robert E. Lee's front porch looking at the graves, that is another whole story. I got to witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I was 17 then...now 70.

What blows me away, is that Arlington belonged to Gen Robert E Lee. You can see Lincoln's memorial from his house.

[@WalkwithHistory]

We just recorded an entire video from inside Arlington House. It will be released in a couple of weeks.

[@CPCIC01]

Arlington never belonged to Robert E. Lee. It was the home of George Washington Parke Custis whose only surviving child, Mary Randolph Custis, great granddaughter of Martha Washington, married Robert E. Lee. Though he lived there when not on US Army duty, she alone inherited Arlington in 1857 and was the last private owner of the Arlington estate. Robert and Mary Lee left Arlington in the Spring of 1861. He never returned and she only once but could not bear to enter her former beloved home. In 1864, as an act of vengeance against Lee, Union dead were buried around the house to insure it could no longer be a private home, ultimately creating Arlington National Cemetery. After the Civil War the US Supreme Court in 1882 declared that the Army had illegally confiscated the property and ordered that Lee's eldest son be paid $150,000 (nearly $4.4 million today).

[@kevinschroeder3889]

@@CPCIC01 Thanks for the info. I should have known that. It stills blows me away that Lee was basically from the Northern part of the US. I consider Virginia in the northern tier of the states. Not the deep south that I thought he was from.

Also interred are PFC Lee Marvin, WWII USMC, Actor; Major Audie Murphy, WWII USA, most decorated soldier of WWII, Actor; Sgt Joe Lewis, WWII USA, World Heavy Weight Boxing Champion; PFC Medgar Evers, WWII USA, Civil Rights Activist, and Major Glenn Miller, WWII USA, Band Leader who has a headstone (remains not recovered) at Arlington.

Thank you Ma’am for you Naval Service !!! One of my favorite professors in my undergrad was a retired SeaBee. Although I have two degrees in business, I love history, I’m constantly trying to learn new history. I was so intrigued to learn the story about Arlington itself, and the fact that there are many service members from the Civil War there. Please don’t misunderstand me at all, I have two brothers who were soldiers and served in our most recent conflicts. Everyone that holds a spot of that hallowed ground deserves to have their own stories known. I hope to go back and get off the beaten path, maybe learn of some of the lesser known service members that are at Arlington. Thank you to your family and your husband for his great video work.

However, unless she's been mentioned far down in the comments, you left out one of the biggest "stars" buried in Arlington. Fiery redhead Irish singer/actress, Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne's favorite co-star, lies in Section 2 with her husband, pioneer aviator and USAF Brigadier General Charles F.

Great video! And your enthusiasm really shows. My guess is that you have several of these videos at Arlington, so I hope in one of them you can show Audi Murphy, the most decorated US soldier ever, with 40 movies in his career, who I believe is buried next to General Bradly. I also want to comment about an NCIS episode that Charles Durning was in, dancing in the office with Sasha Alexander. He used to be a professional dancer also (in real life at dance halls), and it showed with his dancing with Sasha. This was an extremely moving episode, and I think it was in the second season.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for watching. Yes there is a first Arlington video with Audie Murphy, Lee Marvin and Maureen OHara. Durning was a great dancer.

[@davidrubin8228]

Firstly, thank you for your service and for doing this. Both my father and uncle served in the Army with my father serving as a Army doctor in Germany after the war and my uncle as a Dentist (and who probably fought) at the Battle of the Bulge. Charles Durning was not only a great actor but a sweet man. Very sadly, he had to divorce his second wife (his actual childhood sweetheart) due to family problems caused by his daughter. I know this as the law firm I was working for at the time represented his wife. It was very sad because by that time both parties were elderly and infirm and really could not understand why they had to get divorced. Mrs. Durning's daughter offered to have me meet with Mr. Durning but I declined owing to the situation. Perhaps I should have. Thank you again.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Without a doubt, this is the Best video I've ever watched of this subject! I love history and my cousin, also, Hugh Michael Fanning, was an aviator, USMC, shot down 10/30-31/1967, over Vietnam flying a low altitude Bomber, the only American shot down that over Nam. He was captured and later executed. An amazing and tragic story.

@@WalkwithHistory We have served some cousins since Bacon's Rebellion I had ancestors KIA in the French and Indian War, The Revolutionary War some KIA, War of 1812, The War Between the States and all the way to The 1st Gulf War. Due to Age we missed the 2nd I tried to enlist but was labeled 4F by the Navy and Airforce that was back in 77. I learned from my Uncles who were in WWII who would talk along with having classmates taken out of class to find out there brother or father was KIA during Vietnam War. I knew one of the last WWI Veterans, he told me of life in the Trenches and then fighting to take the "Bosch Positions" I have learned the cost of War as well as anyone who hasn't been in combat. I am a member of 2 museum ships. Even though I live in South Carolina, I am going up to repar DD 537 (The Sullivans) and the USS SS The Croaker. So they will seem alive for visitors. It is the least I can do for the men who served on them and fought and possibly died.

You having to explain the meaning of "What's my line" just made me feel really old. I've walked Arlington a few times. Honored to Salute Mr. Charles Durning on my last visit. Gunny was still with us when I was last there. If you get there again, can I recommend visiting the grave of Peter Ortiz. He as a character actor, memorable in John Wayne's "Rio Grande," but his actual life was more interesting than any movie.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for that recommendation. We will check him out. Welcome to the Walk with History community.

[@BrianRLange]

If you would like to tour an amazing ship, go to Jacksonville, FL, and tour the USS Orleck, the most decorated post-WWII ship in the US Navy. I served aboard her in the late 70s and early 80s. We did not know of her history back then, but I am so proud to have served aboard her now. For 15 years she served as the fastest ship in the Turkish Navy before returning to the US as a museum ship. Her history is quite impressive.

Terrific work. Thank you. I had no idea that John Charles Daly is at Arlington. Dorothy Kilgallen was on "What's my Line". She was the best on the show. Was going to break the Kennedy case wide open and she was murdered before she could divulge her research. After Dorothy was murdered the cast was very sad. They just kept their thoughts to themselves.
