There needs to be one of these in EVERY state! What an amazing idea! Thank you for bringing this to us all! 🇺🇸

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Agreed!

[@I_am_a_melon1992]

More like every where in North America. Canada doesn’t even par to the stuff the US does for its historical awareness

[@dougcostello9064]

I believe that blue star flag back in the day had blue, silver and gold stars. The silver star was for any service member that was wounded in action. I remember my mom saying that when she was little she remembered seeing one of these flags on a house with 4 gold stars and one silver one. I could not imagine the sorrow of that family. Truly the greatest generation in this countries history.

[@ronbartkowiak3459]

That was truly amazing!! They would have to throw me out of there. As a just turned 70 year old whose father survived the Pacific theater, I really appreciate this, and frankly, all of your videos. Easily my favorite history channel on youtube, or anywhere else. Entertaining, thoughtful, educational, well produced and balanced, reasonable discourse on history. Non judgmental. I guess I should go to your patreon page. You deserve it, thanks.

[@dennisunglesbee1391]

Absolutely agree 100%

[@garretvaughn7936]

God bless these folks for paying homage to the courageous men and women of this era, and bless you for bringing us all along for the trip down memory lane. If you like this, you will love the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, ID! If you are ever in the Boise area, please stop in and ask any of the volunteers for a tour. It is amazing!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

I've never been to Idaho, but would love to get over that way. Thanks!

Unique doesn't even begin to describe that cafe, the lady owner was sweet and sincere and it is obvious they truly care for their customers. Extraordinary, truly enjoyed this. And the food looked delicious!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Very much so!

[@patricialenaburg6553]

What an amazing place, my dad would love this. These people have went out of their way to celebrate our heroes, and share the love in what they do. Our vets of that era are dwindling down, dad died in 2012 at age 91. Thank you for the video.

[@janecarolhogue3140]

What a great find and a great job paying respect to all our heroes.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Definitely a great place.

[@patmoritz5213]

After your first airing, I included this stop on my trip to MO and gathered up photos of my Dad and FIL, made a very emotional stop there, met Chaz, Her and her staff we awesome, spent some time with us and had a GREAT meal. I’m so thankful I could honor my DAD and FIL. Awesome, AWESOME place!!!!!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

So glad that you enjoyed it!

[@patrickbolmeyer9515]

My father was a member of America's greatest generation. He was on a Mine Sweeper in the Pacific arena clearing the way for the American fleet. What a wonderful way to pay respect to our WWII vets. God Bless them all!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Oh wow! I have another video on the channel where I go through the only surviving minesweeper from WWII. You might enjoy it if you haven't seen it already.

[@iflyc77]

That places is awesome. I was crewing Fifi (one of the world's only two flying B29s) just down the road in Branson when our PX guy spotted the sign for this place on his drive in. We had to go, and it ended up being opening night!

[@robertbowers9856]

My uncles served in WW II and they all came back and shared their experiences with me, some of the most odd stories you could hear. I was also privileged to work with many veterans in my every day working career. One that stands out was a B-29 tail gunner. Those men never said anything about being involved in the war unless you asked them. A paratrooper association inducted my brother and me as honorary members for helping them. During that time, we also met a gentleman from Holland, that had been in the resistance and had been at Arnhem and he autographed my book, "A Bridge to Far." A great, great time!

[@jeffsmith2022]

Wow, what a wonderful way to remember our history...God Bless them all...

[@billybcgn25]

My father in law's portrait was hidden by the second light shade you panned to; he was trained by the Army Air Corps to be the left-seat driver of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, and was on the train in Montana, en route to take a liberty ship to the islands we had purchased with so much Marine, Sailor, and Airman blood, for the great invasion--and Japan finally had their epiphanies which got them to surrender. Thank you for featuring Chaz and her wonderful, *wonderful* restaurant. We don't get to visit very often, as we live too far away. But I am grateful for her love of the veterans and active duty.

[@kevindill9748]

I know you get a ton of comments that this is just one of many of your grateful fans. I must say this video touched my heart! I love that this place still honors our WWII vets in a very real and tangible way. I love that it exists. I love that you brought it to us so that we will not forget that these men and women and their families were real flesh and blood hero’s who really did save the world!!!

[@HuntStacheHistory]

Wow, that is such a neat spot! I will for sure remember this during my travels incase I make it to Ozark. Such an awesome tribute to our veterans! 👍🇺🇸

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Definitely. When you do, give me a call. I'll use any excuse to go back.

[@HuntStacheHistory]

@@TheHistoryUnderground I got you. 👊

[@ChrisTopher-zo1vg]

That would have to be my ONLY go to restaurant if that were in my town. Love your videos, I share your enthusiasm!! Thier food looks fantastic!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Ha! I wish we had one in my town too, although I'd be as big as a hippo.

[@carolvetter630]

My husband was a Viet Nam vet and his father was a WW II vet . Their pictures are side by side in their uniforms in Cafe B-29 .My husband was a Marine his father was in the Army. It was a great honor to have them with all the other Vets in this Cafe Museum.

[@beauberry9207]

Thanks for coming in! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your family 😊

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks! Seriously one of the funnest restaurants we’ve ever been to. And the food was insanely good!

[@sasquatch885]

Our daughter and grandsons live about 90 miles north of there. Definitely going next time we’re out there visiting. With The Old Breed is an amazing book too.👍🏻

[@ChineseChicken1]

“With the Old Breed” was part of the inspiration for “The Pacific” series. It’s the Marine version of “Band of Brothers”. Eugene Sledge and SNAFU are two of the main characters.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Definitely one of my favorites.

[@tvormwald]

My Father was a WWII US Marine. Why I joined the Marines at 17 and served for 10 years Active duty. Got out went to college, joined the Air Force 16.5 years later and retired 37 years to the day I 1st Enlisted.

Thank you. I'm enjoying sharing the experiences and history with others.

[@richardduncan7924]

Enjoyed this History lesson. Made me think of my Dad. He served state side at Roswell Army Air Corps Base (as it was called before Air Force) during WWII before all the UFO stuff. He served on a ground crew that would service damaged B-17's and other planes that needed repair. He was discharged 1945. I still have his uniform and other items from that period of his life.

[@CJ_esc.artist]

This video featuring the really cool restaurant was not only informative but hunger inducing!

HEY, JD Wow thank you so much for doing this kind of Vidoe.. There is not enough KZbin channels that give our veterans of all the wars first world war, world war II, Korea, Vietnam, desert Storm, and Afghanistan all these veterans deserve better then we have done so far I'm so saddened by this We should be doing more to thank them for their service and sacrifice that they have given for this country so thank you for this video take care be safe and God bless ps. thank you Chaz from Cafe B-29

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks!

[@gordongordon4434]

I loved this video. I enjoy reading as much as I can about WWII. Of Course, I had my father and many uncles fighting for us in every branch of the service. My mom also worked at the Bell Bomber Plant in Marietta Ga which was built exclusively for the B-29's. The area was first the Naval Air Station which opened in 1941 and an Air Force base also opened in1941 (as Rickenbacker Field). My mom was a Rosie the Riveter whose primary job was putting the windows in the cockpits of the B-29's. After the war, Lockheed took over a good deal building mainly large cargo planes such as the C-130 Hercules and the C-5 Galaxy, and later the F-22 Raptor.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@TBNTX]

At 4:10, you mentioned the Wichita Beacon, but alongside it is the front page from the Hutchinson Herald announcing the Pearl Harbor attack. This another Kansas Newspaper, out of Hutchinson, KS. Wichita was home to a several companies who built a lot of aircraft for the war effort of WWII. In fact, they still do. You might enjoy doing a series of episodes about the aviation history of Wichita. Wichita was my home from 1985 thru 1990, and I still head back to see friends there. Speaking of Hutchinson, take a gander of the Cosmosphere there. It houses the largest collection of space artifacts in the world, aside from the Smithsonian Institution. The original Apollo 13 command module is on display, as well as Gus Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 capsule (which was salvaged and restored by the Cosmosphere). Their SpaceWorks division even created the mock-up Apollo13 capsule used in Tom Hanks’ “Apollo 13” move. Boss, I hope that you’ll put the Cosmosphere in Hutch on your “Must-Visit” list. You won’t be disappointed. I live in Topeka, which isn’t terribly far away. I go back to the Cosmosphere yearly, so if you’d like to get somebody like me to give you a tour, I’ll join you there. www.cosmo.org

[@mholden25]

My hero neighbor’s picture is on that wall. Their food is absolutely delicious. As always, wonderful and informative video. Have you been to Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield?

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Nice! And no, I haven't been to Wilson's Creek yet. Planning on going back and hitting it at some point.

[@KowboyUSA]

Preserving history while serving sustenance. That's a win-win in my book. * We didn't have CVC helmet/headsets like the one at 9:13 in '67. Pretty sure I wasn't issued one until maybe '72 at the earliest.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Yeah, I should have mentioned that while the focus is WWII, they have items from other conflicts as well. Can't wait to go back!

[@swtexan6502]

Awesome job yet again, JD! One of the very best ways to learn history is to not only seek and listen to our distinguished Veterans, but also immerse yourself in different locations throughout the world. Nothing brings the Battle of Okinawa to life more than exploring the caves near Naha and personally examining the bullet holes in Shuri Castle. Safe travels.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Gosh. I really hope to get to Okinawa at some point.

[@swtexan6502]

@@TheHistoryUnderground Understand that... it's a terribly long flight with really no easy way to get there. Maybe since the great and powerful Uncle Joe is in office, COVID will miraculously disappear? Seriously, it would be great if we could simply get back to normal! I am so over this! Luckily, we have so much here in America to see and do, I don't feel like I'm missing too much by not being able to head anywhere else at this time. We are truly Blessed to have such a wonderful Nation with our rich history and diversity- it would take a lifetime just to see and experience it all!

[@jared1870]

Once again, thanks for an awesome video. You now have me wanting to visit the central U.S. I must report that this week I saved an old trunk going to the dump. Inside it was a time capsule that contained WAVES uniforms, women's dresses from the 1940s, Army uniforms from WWII and Vietnam with medals etc., and a sun bonnet sewn by a pioneer. It was worth the fight I went through to open it and inspect the contents before it was thrown out.

[@chadanderson8692]

Wow! Sounds like you saved a lot more than a old truck. Great find!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Oh wow! That is amazing. Thank you for saving that. I'm a big collector of WWII items and hate those horror stories of things that went to the dump.

I was actually fortunate enough recently where I got to go to the remnants of Sugar Loaf Hill here in Okinawa and while the Okinawans really have for the most part tried to hide what happened during the war you can still walk up Sugar Loaf Hill. It such a moving experience because while there is not much there, you can still get the idea from looking down from the hill what it must have been like for the Americans to try to capture it. You can see for several miles all around Naha.
