      Thanks for sharing that moment in time with all your subscribers, I know it was some time ago, and I wasn’t a subscriber then (I don’t think I was) but even seeing it now in 2022 your obvious delight and pride in receiving the award has made me feel a part of your journey from starting the channel, through the recent hardships we have, as a race, endured and onwards too today, you deserve any and all accolades you receive, your work is excellent, your presentation style is infectious and draws the viewer into the pleasure and knowledge that history can provide us all, I have learned a huge amount from you, thanks for everything JD and don’t ever retire, please. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    55 up to 41 years ago when I was serving I flew commercially dozens of times. You could smoke. You could drink. You could move around. Passengers were treated very well. Last few times I flew was post 9/11. Twice I was "selected" for enhanced screening. Now with COVID. God bless ya, but I'm done flying commercially. * P.S., congrats!

    Congratulations!! I ABSOLUTELY 💯% LOVE YOUR VLOGS AND CHANNEL!! I have no idea why I love History so much!! Maybe it is because my Dad loved history? I love the Civil War the most!! It was a very bloody battle, but I just love the uniforms, the simplicity of items and just the time period!! Thank you for not making jokes or making lewd remarks about history lovers or those who simply love a particular time in American History. I hope you make many more shows and CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN...

  • @danwoodliefphotography871

When I check to see if you have added a new one and you haven't disappointment sets in. So keep them coming. By the way we have Ft Tyler here in West Point, GA. The last battle of the Civil War it was fought after Lee had surrendered. Well continue on teacher. May the blessings of GOD be with you and your family.

    Congratulations to you and your wife for the Silver Button Award. What a wonderful team effort in bringing American history to the rest of the world in such an interesting way. I didn't know about the Teddy Roosevelt Island Memorial, I can think of no more a fitting legacy. You managed to bring elements of your favourite history moments together for this special achievement. Australian spelling with the " favorite " ok, just to clear that up. It's like Aluminum and Aluminium. Lol Cheers

    You're a good guy with talent, wisdom and likeability, and deserving of this achievement and all the accolades you get. Your humble approach is indicative of your character shown time and again in your work and views on the past and life itself. Can I make a suggestion? You've talked about Teddy Roosevelt so much over the years as being your favorite President - unless I've missed it, how about a video on his life to educate us on why exactly you find his tenure above others? Thanks and best wishes for reaching that million.
