@@TheHistoryUnderground My dad was in Europe during WW2, with the US Army, and could hold people spellbound for hours with his stories. He saw a lot of action in four or five campaigns. He brought back a lot of souvenirs. I have the box of items in storage in Virginia (I'm a US expat in Bogota, Colombia; my wife is Colombian). I took the box in 2007 after my mother died. Before we moved to Colombia, we opened the box, which hadn't been done in years, and there were less items than I remember. One of the items that was not there was a yellow star that Jews were forced to wear. I vaguely remember my parents telling me, years ago, they had donated it. After watching your video, I thought that it's a shame I couldn't donate it to this museum in Gettysburg.

You can feel the respect and the care that you take in making these videos and it makes it so much more immersive when you watch it. That means more than you know, kids today will enjoy and seek out your videos and learn what the schools don’t teach anymore. So from a father of a young kid, thank you for cataloging history so it will continue to live through the future generations.

This collection was amazing and I love the way it has covered so much of American history not just relics related to Gettysburg. The casing from the bullet that struck Oswald is something every collection would die for, actually so many of these artifacts are treasures and one of a kinds. For people that can not travel around to visit these Museums, this video is great and the way you had the director of the Museum giving a personal tour it felt like I was actually there getting the tour myself. Gotta give props to the director, who seemed just as excited to be telling the stories of the artifacts as I was hearing about them. Thank you.

What I find sad too is that from time to time at these battlefields some poor soldier's remains are still being found. I've been to Mannasas and it is a somber site. How Lincoln kept the Union together with this level of casualties in a relatively small country as far as population is beyond me. They say after the Civil War ladies wore black more than any other color for years.

I love Gettysburg. I used to take my kids there all the time when they were young. I miss those days. I so want to go back while I can still get around on my own.
