@ Scott Murphy. Thanks for what u do. My Grandmother’s brother is buried at Jefferson Barracks. KIA. Korea

The scene with the deer are so lovely. Some of these people died so terribly. My own ancestor is buried in a national cemetery. His loss devastated his widow and children, but it gives me comfort to think deer might visit his grave on a quiet winter afternoon.

Michael Blassie was moved to JB and interred right about the time my Mom was. There was a ceremony that was covered in the press in St Louis. I remember my Father being very upset that a national monument would be 'desecrated' to give the remains to the family. I told him my opinion is that no one should ever be 'unknown', and that the family deserved to have their loved one returned.

I live in Edwardsville, right outside of St. Louis and volunteer at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. We actually have more Medal of Honor recipients buried there than Jefferson Barracks does. Both are moving places.

It is so beautiful to see the white-tail deer among the tombstones.

Wow!

At a place called Scopwick, a neat little village in Lincolnshire, there is a small cemetery. It was a place of pilgrimage for me because, in a section of that cemetery, there are about 50 Commonwealth war graves with their distinctive white headstones. You get that quite a lot in the UK, little village churchyards or large municipal cemeteries with a scattering of such graves. The one at Scopwick is special because it is the final resting place of John Gillespie Magee, an American pilot with the RAF who was killed in a flying accident in 1941 while based in the area. Magee wrote one of the most famous poems of all time, High Flight. So often quoted and to old philistine me, an artistic ignoramus, just so beautiful. President Reagan quoted it at the memorial service for the crew of Challenger, I believe. So, in a British village lies an American poet. And in the same cemetery are five graves which are not white rectangles but heavy crosses of stone instead; German servicemen from WW2. I am unaware of the reason for their being there - maybe the crew of a shot down bomber, but I always find it poignant to see such things.

Wreaths across America is an awesome program. Donations are taken to help pay for the wreaths. The company that makes them gives a certain amount for each Veterans cemetery nation wide. Truck drivers volunteer to deliver. My husband was the director of tge Veterans cemetery in the bootheel of MO for many years. They received enough Donations to ensure all headstones had a wreath

My cousin, a retired serviceman, volunteered to place wreaths last Christmas. After placing over a hundred wreaths on graves, he took the last of the wreaths and walked across the snowy field to place it on my mother's grave. He took a picture and sent it to me. It was the best Christmas present he could have possible given me.

Heroes.

Where to begin. My family's military history goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War. In all branches of the Military. Even today members of my family are serving. I did a stint in the U.S. Army. So these videos of National Cemeteries are very emotional for me especially of this one as I have several family members buried here. The grave of Lt. Blassie was very emotional. To think that after all those years....when you begin to think that his remains would never be found...only to find him and to finally have some closure. I also found it difficult listening to the story of the soldiers deliberately murdered in the Philippines. As many times that I have been to Jefferson Barracks, I did not know that mass grave was there. GOD BLESS ALL WHO SERVE THIS COUNTRY AND THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOM.

Someone is always complaining about something. Thankyou for the video. I just started watching you, I have learned a lot. Rest in peace everyone who ever you are 💖💖 🕊️🕊️🤗🤗 Susie from Puyallup Washington State.

This video is so interesting, thank you for all the content. It’s interesting that there’s German and Italian POWs buried here. It brings up an interesting topic.
