Harpers Ferry and a Special tribute to our Nephew

The end of the video shows our visit to the Gerrardstown Cemetery, Hunter’s final resting place. While in West Virginia we were blessed to stay with family and had a wonderful time together, and shared many memories. It was nine years ago this week that we lost our nephew, Hunter to suicide.

-------------------
Harpers Ferry West Virginia is where abolitionist John Brown led his famous rebellion to end slavery. He seized the armory in Harpers Ferry and hoped to amass an army to end slavery.
Brown was a devout evangelical Christian and believed that he was “an instrument of God”, raised to strike the “death blow” to American slavery, considering it his “sacred obligation”. His rebellion failed, and his son was killed in the raid. John Brown was captured by US Marines. Less than three months later, he was hanged for treason.

Thank you Dave so much. - Michelle

Aww our old stomping ground. We used to live in Lovettsville. & would often take the pups for a walk in Harper’s ferry.

[@airstreamer]

Very historic town!

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

Loved this video, Harpers Ferry is a must see if you are a history enthusiast, especially Civil War history. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@airstreamer]

Thank you for watching! - Michelle

We love our senior national park pass. This looks like a great historical place to visit. We love all places historical. Lynn and Danny

There is so much to learn and see in this great country! - Michelle

Hello from Naples, Florida. Very nice! And very interesting. We visited there many years ago. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤

[@airstreamer]

Glad you found it interesting. Thank you!

[@TheGrandShamrockTour]

You have inspired John and I to get back to VA and WV. So much to see and do. We did not know Harper’s Ferry was within the NP system. We are doing that next time through! Great video and fun music. John and Caroline ☘️ So sorry to hear about your nephew Hunter. 🙏 Thanks for sharing and bringing awareness.

[@airstreamer]

Thank you John and Caroline, so much. If you can go there when the interpretive programs are happening, I bet it would be really interesting! Thank you, Hunter is greatly missed. - Michelle

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Great tour of this area. Sending peace and love for your family. I am sorry for your loss.

[@airstreamer]

Thank you so much for your kind words. -Michelle

We just got our America the Beautiful pass in Roswell, NM. I think yours has some added discounts! Woo! Moving tribute to your nephew. What a beautiful area. ~Shanna

[@airstreamer]

Glad you got your pass! People of a certain age can get a lifetime senior pass. I believe the discount depends on the park. Thank you Shanna, we miss him greatly. - Michelle

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Like 5 👍 💯 ❤

[@airstreamer]

Big thanks!

[@TrailerTravelin]

Neat place. Looks like you had it mostly to yourselves. It's always nice to step back in history. Condolences for the loss of your nephew. Safe travels.

[@airstreamer]

Going there mid week, and off season, yes it was fairly easy to get around. Thank you very much. He is greatly missed. -Michelle

[@justramblinaround]

Another very well filmed and edited video when you mentioned your drinks I instantly thought of the song so very nice touch! As well as with the John Brown songs we love history and remember these songs and stories and you did a great job telling these stories and speaking of the right side/wrong side. We are fans of the America Beautiful pass been renewing for many many years and always worth it. I am sorry about your nephew we have also dealt with suicide we have lost friends and family members it is a subject that does need to be shared and hopefully we can help others. Thank you!

[@airstreamer]

Thank you for your compliments on the music and editing! So sorry you have also had loss due to suicide. It seems to be something very difficult for people to talk about, and that is sad. Hopefully awareness will help open up conversations. - Michelle

[@ItsAboutTimeNow]

[@airstreamer]

It was a sobering place, for sure.Thank you! - Michelle

Who was Hunter? A friend?

[@airstreamer]

He is our nephew. My sister's youngest son. He was 15 years old. Trying to raise awareness, and remind hurting people that you are not alone. Thank you for watching. - Michelle
