Veterans Day in Arlington | Honoring Marines

Join me on a journey to Arlington National Cemetery, a place where heroes rest and American history unfolds. Witness the solemn beauty of this hallowed ground, where over 400,000 veterans are laid to rest, including many of the United States Marine Corps' most celebrated heroes.
Stand in silent reverence at the Iwo Jima memorial, a tribute to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Walk alongside as we pay our respects at the graves of iconic Marines like Ira Hayes, John Glenn, and Pappy Boyington, men whose bravery and leadership continue to inspire generations.
This Veterans Day, let us not only remember the fallen but also honor those who continue to serve with courage and dedication. Let their stories be a reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedom and a call to action to continue supporting our veterans.

As a 30 year retired Marine I appreciate this video, these are the men and women I represented and knew I had to uphold a HIGH standard. Thank you for your work at putting this all together, you do a DAMN FINE JOB!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for your service!

I’m a medically disabled Marine that got to see the Marine Corps Bugle Band and the Silent Drill Team at MCRD San Diego when I was in Boot Camp in 1986 and I got to see them again at Arlington National Cemetery in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial in 1989 with my pastor that was a Marine in Vietnam 🇻🇳 that did two tours of duty in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and he had never seen the Marines Bulge Band or the Marines Silent Drill Team and he was glad I talked him into seeing them in person.

[@WalkwithHistory]

What an experience! Thank you for sharing. Welcome to the community 😁😊

[@fordvg]

@@WalkwithHistory thank you. If they still do it during the summer months on Tuesday nights if I remember correctly the Marine Corps Bugle Band and Silent Drill Team perform in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial in what is called the Sunset parade.

Megan McClung was also one of the first, if not the first, female to graduate from the Admiral Farragut Academy North military school campus. She will always be remembered as an honored alumna. High the silver and the blue willl ever be flown. Godspeed, sister.

I'm a USAF veteran, history buff, and father of a 6-year-old severely autistic child. I will probably never have the chance to visit these historic places, so I am so grateful that I can live vicariously through your videos! Thank you so much!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you o much for sharing that. Ere so happy we can share this with you. 😊

[@laurence1643]

My son served as a Sgt in the Caisson Platoon for 4 years in the 90's. He presided at 495 ceremonial burials. I visited him and watched him do his duty there. We've walked Arlington several times and I am in constant awe there. Veterans Day on the Mall at the Memorials is a profound experience everyone should have. Thank you for your service. USAF 66-70.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for your and your son’s service. 😊

[@gregsayre4700]

Got to meet The Gunny a few times once while I was serving and another at a convection. I love that Lee Marvin just wanted a standard headsstone.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Agreed. So humble

[@rongill802]

Just found your channel, I am loving it. especially Veterans Day in Arlington | Honoring Marines, it brought me to tears and i am not a American i live Brisbane Qld Australia i have all ways been sparred USMC and the high stranded they set for themselves and thank you for your service this needs to be said around the world to all military services if was for Popole like you we would not have the freedmen we have all tne best for down under AUS

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot and we are happy to be able to honor these heroes.

[@johnlarue2248]

Very well done Ma'am. I was honored to have been a Navy Corpsman attached to the Marines. It's an honor to be called a "Grunt" or "Ground Pounder". Some folks fear it, I embraced it. Went full Marine Corps Regs, and the highest award was to be called "Marine" for doing everything required to earn that title. *side note...My father was a combat pilot in the South Pacific during WWII. He swore me into the Navy, a year later he swore AT me when he learned I took the voluntary transfer! LOL....Very very well done Ma'am..and Semper Fi!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Semper Fi! Thank you for your service and Go Navy! 😁🙌🏻

[@fredrickmillstead2804]

Doc, thank you for your service and support. Navy corpsmen saved my life in 1970, I Corps.

[@mydaddysgreeneyes]

I haven't been to Arlington, but even on video the sight of all the headstones is heart-stopping. So many have served and so many have bled and died to allow us to live in freedom. Thank you for this touching tribute and thank you to you and Scott for your service as well. May God protect and bless those who dedicate themselves to this noble task.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you 😊

Pappy Boyington, like Ira Hayes was also an Indian a member of the Brule Sioux tribe. Boyington, was originally awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1944. When shot down over Rabaul on Jan. 3, 1944 because his was not found he was presumed dead. He was picked up by a Japanese submarine and spent 20 months as a prisoner of war - something American officials weren't made aware of until the war ended and released from a POW camp in Tokyo on Aug. 29, 1945. On Oct. 5, 1945, Boyington joined several other Marines at a ceremony at the White House to receive the Medal of Honor from President Harry S. Truman in person. Boyington's wife Josephine, donated his Medal of Honor to the Marines Memorial Association's Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco, where it remains on display in the club's restaurant. On a personal note I met John Glenn in September 22, 1996. My grandfather Asa a lifelong resident of Ross County, Ohio turned 100 years old that day, and Senator Glenn made an appearance at his birthday party.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for your service as well as your family’s service. 😊

[@joevasquez6375]

I met Maj. Boyington at a book signing in CA, he was a gentleman and loved telling stories of his endeavors. I was shocked to find out I had shaken hands with a Medal of Honor recipient. Thank you sir for your service.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Oh wow! What an experience. Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the community 😊

[@longliveforcemarine5188]

As a Navy pilot you should have known better girl. These are not soldiers. They are Marines. There is a difference.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Marines are a Department of the Navy. ;) We are all soldiers fighting for America before we are separated by service. Thank you for watching.

[@jerryhurley1068]

I always love seeing Arlington, theres so much to see and so many stories to hear. I couldnt even begin to suggest what to show or focus on. Selfishly, i love a good jfk episode, and could listen about the early astronauts for hours, but thats just me!

[@WalkwithHistory]

JFK is definitely a video we want to do...we do go to his gravesite in one of our earlier Arlington videos. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJe7gKWwj92VmdUsi=mynsSUo67bDql6uf Early astronauts is a great topic too!

[@longliveforcemarine5188]

Yes they are a part of the Navy that is true. The Marines that I have served with, in any Marine that I ever have known has never wanted to be referred to as a soldier. That's all I'm saying.

[@Skyhawker6177]

And never an "ex" Marine. Once and always a Marine

[@stevenpowers546]

Periodic themed tours of Arlington National Cemetery is a great idea.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you! We love being there and sharing it with others.

My great grandmother had a few brothers and a few sisters. One of her brothers fought in the Vietnam War and came home after that war alive. And her other brother fought in the korean war and a bomb or bullet hit his leg and he lost his leg in the Korean war. And lived a long life then passed away. And my 2nd cousin was a navy seal. I would have wanted to be in the military but i am in a wheelchair I have a disability called spina bifida I was born with.

Just found your channel, I am loving it. Arlington is one of my favorite spots on earth. I am also a veteran of the Marine Corps and I am going to be interred there when I pass. I’m also from Northern Virginia so I’ll be going home! I had the honor of meeting Colonel Glenn when he flew with us as a Senator when I was stationed at Andrew’s Air Force Base, in the DCANG!

[@WalkwithHistory]

How cool to have met John Glenn! Arlington is such an amazing place and is truly special.

So very inspirational. Thank you! Two of my uncles are buried in Arlington. My uncle Frank was in the Army and was killed in World War II. My uncle Earl was in the Marine Corps who served in World War II and then in the Korean War where he was killed. As a very young boy I attended the funeral of my uncle Earl. They are both buried next to each other. I have been back to Arlington twice in my life and it is such a sobering experience. These amazing men and women, many who gave their life for their country. God bless them all!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for sharing that! It is an amazing place to be.

[@user-pj8oq3ns9w]

As usual great job. I have seen 5 or 6 of your videos. A suggestion. Joseph Wheeler, "Fighting Joe" and the "War Child". He was a West Pointer. Went west as a shavetail, became a confederate major general. He was brought back to the US Army by Mc Kinley for the war with Spain as a final Civil War reconciliation. He was Teedy Roosevelt's commmander at San Juan Hilll. He is the highest ranking rebel in Arlington.

[@WalkwithHistory]

How neat! Well keep him in mind for sure.

[@alyrios]

Army vet here. I don't know if I will ever have the chance to visit Arlington but at least I can "visit" with videos like this one. Beautiful job.

Excellent walkabout at Arlington. I was proud to see all the USMC flags on the graves of our Marines. Was that done for the Corp's birthday? Thank you for a great presentation. Thank you for your service Ma'am. I signed up, as I am a Marine and a history major.💚💚💚💚💚👍👍👍👍👍 Semper Fidelis

I believe the flags had been there for the Marine Corps birthday. We were there on Veterans Day which is close to the same date. 😊

[@gregdiamond6023]

@@rickwiles8835 Thank you

[@76tennboy]

I mean, I’m not disputing that Pappy Boyington leads the flying tigers and in fact that makes sense considering the one guy calls John Wayne Pappy several times in the movies. I just thought that Claire Lee Chennault was in charge of the flying tigers. I mean that’s what Wikipedia said when I searched famous people in Arlington national cemetery.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Yes, Boyington never was CO of the Tigers. I say he was CO of the Black Sheep, which he was from Sept 1943 till he was shot down.

[@76tennboy]

@@WalkwithHistory curious. Because in the movie it definitely looks like John Wayne is the CEO so I wonder if for creative reasons they combined the two guys into one character or what the deal is. Edit: especially since now that I think about it, his character was Jim Gordon, and neither of the two names so I wonder if like I said if they combined the two characters into one fictitious character, especially since one of the last guys he brings in keeps calling him Pappy.

[@76tennboy]

@@WalkwithHistory for the record I said CEO not CEO 😂 stupid Siri
