The Loneliest Christmas Tree in Washington...and a hand grenade.

[@videopyc]

Only Andrew cares to show this single tree. Teddy Roosevelt Island needs some love. Merry Christmas Penguin 6:

[@Romans10.9-10]

Needs cleaning. We go to our National cemetery here and clean the headstones of the veterans. You’re right! And the fountains, if they don’t clean those and get them up and running, you’re breeding mosquitoes! Water looked murky

[@videopyc]

@ may be we should organize a meetup with Andrew in the Spring to help clean this National treasure.

[@OregonBob1955]

I love these Washington D.C. historical “hidden gems” that you share with us! Thank You.

[@greengrace21]

This is the best video you ever shared! What a nice thing you did. Tell us more about your time as a Congressional Aid. I didn't know about the island. Love it! Thank you for that gift of sharing. Merry Christmas 🐧 Penguin.

[@maryg.7790]

How could anyone not love and respect this guy! P6, you rock!🤘

[@donnoble2]

If anyone goes out there, they need to put a couple of Christmas ornaments on it just to make it an official Christmas tree.

[@WeThePeople321n]

That is so cool that you planted that tree…..wow… and 35 years later, it’s so darn tall. Thanks for the memories. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

[@sandrawamsley3876]

It really brought a smile hearing you planted it. Nice!

[@jerrivenables1289]

Man! What a tree story! You take us to the most interesting places! Thank you!

[@loycehake4614]

That’s one of the nicest place in D.C. I’ve seen! No people! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas!

[@marie-fr.desjacques9975]

Thank you Andrew to share with us this beautiful story about this Christmas tree that you have planted 35 years ago. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@mickvictor]

I appreciate your tenacity in getting up close, and I'm glad I made it to the end to find out you planted it! Amazing memory for you and now us too.

[@irenepeek3211]

I sure hope you gave that delightful tree a big warm hug, you both deserve it. You for planting and remembering and the tree for staying alive and growing for all these years. Delightful story... thanks so much for sharing 👍💯👏👋❣️

[@andrewwilks5155]

Thanks for sharing this about the loneliest Christmas tree here! I am glad you told us that you planted this tree 60 years ago! Tree looks beautiful! Thanks again for sharing this! Merry Christmas!

[@cindyamos4588]

P6 planted the tree about 35 years ago. It is about 60 feet tall.

[@cammieg4381]

That is a wonderful Christmas Tree! 🎄It is a thrill to know YOU planted it! LOL (was wondering how it got there if there were no others and how long ago it was planted...) Wonderful story! And on a day of magnet fishing - what luck 😉Thanks Andrew! Enjoyed the island trek very much. Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎅

[@joane8651]

Thank you for the treat today, who knew it was YOU who planted it, sweet!

[@clglyst]

What a beautiful Christmas gift to everyone 🎄💚

[@SSArt98]

That's very cool, especially since you were the one who gave it life! ~ I occasionally go look at some trees I planted over the years, it gives me pleasure. ~~ The Island is in need of some major cleaning/clearing of dead stuff, it would be so much more beautiful! Have a Merry Christmas Penguin and family. Cheers, James

[@Cthomas5678]

Aww that’s an awesome story!! I’m an avid gardener and told my granddaughter that in the spring let’s throw flower seeds around town and secretly watch them grow ❤

[@beverlyasleson3321]

[@preshisify]

Thank you Andrew 😷☕🎄

[@jaylynnthompson6836]

You planted it. How cool. I remember McDonald's gave out trees one year about 30 years ago. That tree grew so big. Just like yours. My daughter was just about 4 or 5 , and we planted it in an apartment complex we lived in. We would go by and check on it for years thereafter.

[@andrewwilks5155]

Beautiful scenic island.

Beautiful story of the Christmas Tree you planted! I wonder is it necessary to have that many law enforcement to show up for things? It seems overkill. 😂
