Graham Family Reacts To 10 Greatest Symbols of America 

Back in the day, "bald" meant white haired. The bald eagle has a head of white feathers, hence the name.

Statue of Liberty is copper and is green from oxidation

In the Lincoln Memorial, within it there is a statue of Abraham Lincoln sitting on a chair

The arch is in St. Louis, Missouri. It is called the Gateway Arch and symbolizes the expansion to the west and stands at 630 feet tall.

The Statue of Liberty was shipped from France in smaller pieces, then assembled after arrival. ❤

Hi guys. The arch is in St. Louis Missouri. The Bald Eagle got it's name from the Olde English word Balde which means white. They felt the white head of the eagle made it look bald as well.

The Capitol, Washington Monument & Lincoln Memorial are in line east-west, and the White House, Washington Monument and Jefferson are almost in line north - south.

We cherish the flag.

I wish our American students were as avid about our history as you all are. Thank you for reminding of what a great nation I am blessed to be a part. Love your reactions and your children (and mom and dad).

The man at the beginning is George C. Scott portraying one of our greatest generals, General George Patton.

The Gateway Arch is in St. Louis, Missouri, by the Mississippi River! I love watching your little family react to these things! Continued success with your channel!

Just happened on your channel. I have watched a few of your videos and must say I really enjoy your reactions and down to Earth attitudes. Keep up the good work guys!!

No building In Washington DC can be Taller than the Washington Monument.

The arch is the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri.

Times Square would've been on my list, I think.

Cowboys inextricably linked to the alamo? Where have I been?

ill give you the no#1. we protect our children, our women, our freedom. thats no#1.. BALLS THAT CLANK.

The Statue 🗽 of Liberty was initially given as a gift by France to the USA, it is now a National symbol in USA and the most famous landmark in New York

The White House is not a part of the National Mall as Kat thought. The National Mall is flanked by The Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial with the Washington Monument in between. Also, the Smithsonian Museums are lined up along the sides as you walk from one end to the other. There is so much to see in Washington DC. And most of it is free.

“The Good the Bad and the Ugly” great spaghetti western- all of Sergio Leone’s movies with Clint Eastwood are classics worth a watch.

The St Louis arch. "Gateway to the West" I went to the top of it in the 80's

I haven’t seen this video yet, but I’ll be surprised if Mount Rushmore is not in it

The silver arch you saw is in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. In early American days, St. Louis was known as the "gateway to the west". All of the old cowboy wagon trains you see in the movies, well most of them, started in St. Louis. At some point, that arch was built as a monument to the city being the gateway to the west. It is like a symbol of walking under the arch is the first step toward the western US. Also, it is situated right on the west bank of the Mississippi River, the longest river in America that is generally used to separate the western US from the eastern US.

Pikes peak honorable mention whole song written on it

The towering arc you can go up into is at St Louis Missouri

Hello Gram Fam, it's a sizzling 40 degrees C here in north Texas today. Happy to have your reaction to take my mind off the heat. ❤

Bald eagles are, mostly, into seafood. The tower in Seattle you're thinking of is the Space needle.

You can walk the golden gate bridge in about 1 hour, stopping for pictures, selfies, and sightseeing. Then maybe 40-45 minutes back to the other side. Wear good walking shoes!

NASA and the space shuttle are also recognizable symbols .

The one in Seattle is called the Space Needle and was built in 1961 for the worlds fair

I’m surprised the Empire State Building isn’t on there

the Arch is in St. Louis, Missouri about 4 hours away here

Washington, DC.. as you stated most of the buildings are in a straight line with the White House being the exception. Starting from the Lincoln Memorial, you then have the huge Reflecting pool, which end just before the World War II Memorial. On the other side of 17th street you have the large area that surrounds the Washington Monument. On the other side of 14th street you have the mall, which is surrounded on both sides by a number of museums and galleries. The Mall is also where many large gathering events takes place. At the other end of the Mall is the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, then the Capitol Building and the Supreme Court Building. Going Back in the line to the Washington Monument, the White House sits perpendicular to the line and is separated from the Washington Monument by a large circle called The Elipse.

Just let my doggies out at around 9pm here. Sun was just starting to set. Hundreds of lightning bugs flying around. I don't know it you have those? I sat out around 1/2 hour just taking it all in. So serene, so beautiful. so calm. I have a big oak tree that must have been planted when this house was built. It is Gargantuan. Limbs full of leaves almost touching the ground. It is absolutely huge. Maybe the biggest in town? White picket fence. Doggies just relaxing, little bugs flying around lighting on and off all over. It's my absolute favorite time of the year. It's so peaceful, I had to share with you and your family? Take care.

Bald Eagle - Name comes from the distinctive white head, and the old English word, balde, which means "white".

Jono, I know you were joking when you lifted your cap to bring out the word "bald". But do you know how that eagle species got its name? Back several hundred years ago, a man with white hair was described as being bald, and bald eagles have white feathers in the same place. Little known and less important fact here: once a year, the Golden Gate is closed to traffic for a few hours, so that a race can be run on it. Since there are 640 acres to a square mile, 1300 of them translates to 2.03 sq. mi./5.26 sq.km.--the size of Mt. Rushmore. The cowboys sitting around the campfire was in Blazing Saddles, and was the first time in movie history that farting was included. I beg to differ with her, in that cowboys weren't the biggest group at the Alamo; it was mostly military men, and people who already lived in TX, and wanted their freedom from Mexico. Just a little history lesson here: when I was a kid in the '50s, cartoons were the likes of Bugs Bunny. Now, they've degraded to the likes of Family Guy and his rude remarks. The Coliseum was an amazing build, but 2000 years before that, the pyramids were built. By the way, the actor from Planet of the Apes was Charlton Heston, who also starred in Ben Hur, and played Moses in the 10 Commandments back in the '60s. Just before the stars and stripes was an arch, which is our newest national park, having been upgraded just a few years ago in St. Louis, MO, and is called the Gateway Arch, which is to commemorate the westward expansion of this country in the early part of the 1800s.

15:45, the statue was built in sections and shipped across the Atlantic to be put together.

A lot of people confuse the Hollywood area of Los Angeles with Beverly Hills. The 1st is a bit seedy, while the 2nd is more upscale and home to movie stars.

You knew blazing saddles? Well even more respect.

Interesting gold nugget of information.....the Golden Gate Bridge is constantly being repainted. Due to the harsh conditions of wind and seawater that blast the bridge constantly, it is necessary for it to be repainted and because it is so immense, it basically just takes place all year long. Also, the color is so iconic that you can actually get the paint color, which is "Golden Gate Orange". The first color was "International Orange" but since that time, and because of the romance and icon-ism associated with the bridge, it was renamed to "Golden Gate Orange".

The Gateway Arch is in Saint Louis, Missouri. You take little trains to the top. It's amazing. It's 600 feet or so high.

The Gateway Arch is in my city of St. Louis, Missouri. It stands 630 feet high & has trams that take to the observatory at the top.

For me part of the fun of going to the top of the Washington Monument was to walk down using the stairs rather than riding back down in the elevator. I noticed the comment about the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. There are stairs there too though they're not supposed to be used, at least not when I was there. I don't know if they're better blocked off now than when I was there as an early teen or if people are now allowed to use them but back then there was a single chain with a sign telling you to not use the stairs ... when I thought no one was watching I stepped over the chain and headed down. I didn't get far before I was told to come back up and ride down. I wanted to say I walked down from the top of both the Washington Monument and the Gateway Arch.

The Gateway Arch is in St. Louis, Missouri on the bank of the Mississippi River. It represents the Gateway to the Westward Expansion through the Louisiana Purchase. It's in a beautiful park right on the edge of downtown St. Louis. The museum inside is very interesting and there's a theater inside which shows a film about the arc. And, of course, you can ride up inside it to look out at the top.

I am watching from several different items as I have been in the hospital since last Thursday. Started out as simple broken bones in ankle to gall bladder surgery. I haven't figured out the connection yet. Ya" ll keep up the good videos

The arch is in St. Louis. Missouri. Called the St. Louis Archway.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a beauty. Michigan has one similar, except the Mackinac Bridge is 5 miles long. Every year, during Labor Day Weekend they close half of it down for people to walk the bridge.

Kat, there was quite a bit of mechanical technology coming out of the 1800's. Steam powered locomotives. The industrial revolution was in full swing. The pre-cursor to tabulators/sorters were made and then used in the 1890 census. The concept of punch cards (taken from pattern looms) would ultimately lead to early computing in the mid-1900s.

The White House isn't in line with the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Capitol. The White House is across from the Washington Monument. But the other three (along with the National WWII Memorial) are all in line with each other.

Uncle Sam, Bald Eagle, Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, White House, Lincoln Memorial, American Flag.

That was the St. Louis Arch.. in Missouri. If you travel to St. Louis .. its best to make a reservation.

You can see the sign by hiking the hills or at the Griffith park. You don't need to be in Hollywood and i don't suggest it.

The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore. The arch is in St. Louis, MO. It is amazing. I have been there several times.

Hollywood sign was the biggest dissapointment I’ve ever seen…..can barely see and the homeowners around it are terrible. Also Hollywood is scummy and dirty.

Love how they showed the Yankees playing my Red Sox lol. Go Sox- arch rivals.

The Gateway Arch that earned an honorable mention in this vlog was erected along the west bank of the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. It represents the Gateway to the West.

When the Simpsons were talking about the U.S. flag they were referring to Lucky Charms cereal.

They're called 'BALD Eagles' because the word 'bald' has an older meaning of "having areas (of fur or plumage) that are coloured white, especially on the head" hence, "Bald Eagle" The Gateway Arch is in St. Louis, MO. It's also known as "the Gateway to the West"

The word _bald_ as used in naming the American bald eagle is an archaic English word meaning *white.*

16:50 the Gateway Arch located in St. Louis Missouri represents the American expansion from east to the west of our Continent sized Nation.

My nickname as a baby was bald eagle. Was really bald until I was 1 year old. My dad gave me the nickname. He said I also took in everything around me like the eagle does.

The Gateway Arch is in St. Loius, Missouri and marks the point of embarkation of the westward expansion of the country via the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

The Washington monument was capped with a triangle of aluminum which at the time was more valuable than gold.

My favorite is the American Flag. Awesome Video.

Bald Eagle : "Bald" is short for "Piebald" meaning white head.

I have been inside the Arch. It was a long time ago, but it was amazing.

You might see the occasional celebrity, but it is rare unless you know who they are when you encounter them on the street or at a film premiere. Celebrities typically manage to stay out of the public eye. In New York, you have a better chance to see a famous actor or other celebrity. Most New Yorkers do not bother them when they are on the street.

I would be happy to send you an Uncle Sam poster if you let me know where to send it.😊

Need to see one in the wild. Something to see in person in the wild. Actually in forestry while marking timber need to keep eye out for eagle nests. Marked timber found true American chestnut still living 8” diameter. And the loggers butchered it by dropping tree on it. Was so pissed at them. Even buffered that tree off. That tree was even producing seed. We where collecting the seed of that tree and planting the seeds yearly.

They are called the bald eagle because of the white feathers on top of their head

The White House is not on the Washington Mall. It is off to the side adjacent the Washington Monument. The Mall extends from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building. Across the Potomac River in front of the Lincoln Monument is Arlington National Cemetery.

Any bird with a white head is called bald. Pigeons in several breeds have a 'bald' pattern with a white head ,wings and tail and some with just a white head.

Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota! 🇺🇸👍🏻

An honorable one now is the Chicago "Bean", Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon.

Whitehouse, Washington Monument, US Capital Building, Statue of Liberty, the Parthenon (the one in Nashville), Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Braves, any John Wayne movie, an "Indian" War Bonnet....

if you are ever in the US and find either a feather or a dead Bald eagle leave it where you find it as it is illegal to even pick one up The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act prohibits anyone from taking any part of a bald or golden eagle without a license from the Secretary of the Interior. The penalty for violating this law is a fine of up to $100,000 (double for organizations), imprisonment for one year, or both for a first offense.

For seeing "Famous People" If you look, you probably never find them as they try to blend in, otherwise they would never get a moments piece to themselves. You usually run into them anywhere. The man you pointed out that ("He was on Grace and Franky"). We live in Beaufort, SC, they have made movies here, but it's not famous for that. Forrest Gump was filmed here and Radio, but.... My mother worked in a hair salon inside Walmart, and he came in and got his hair cut. I've seen Bill Murray in Charleston, SC twice. Mr. T. I saw in Florida when I was young and when we were riding an Amtrak, my father sat next to someone from NYC to Poughkeepsie. They talked the whole way. When we got off, my mother was beside herself saying "You know who that was?"" I forget who it was but some really big daytime soap star from the 80's. So, I guess what I am saying, you can find them anywhere expect in the obvious Hollywood area. And you see them when you least expect to.

Great video 👏❤ I would love to see your reaction to some hockey or like sports moments, good sportmanship, act of respect or fair play❤

My grandfather responded to that Uncle Sam sign in 1917.

The official name of the Saint Louis Arch is Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.

The best chance to see stars in LA is to go to a Lakers Game. Lots of stars go to those

Yes Eiffle built the inner super structure of the statue

Hollywood is a particular section of LA but it’s understandable for someone from overseas to think they are 2 different places. It’s also of course shorthand for the film/entertainment industry similar to how Washington(DC) is a district as well as being shorthand for the US government

Cowboys are common in the Western areas of the USA, they are quite an American stereotype🎉

Arch is in St. Louis

My favorite symbols are The Hollywood sign, Mount Rushmore, Statue of Liberty, The USA flag, I don't know if you can count these as symbols but here are a few more that came in my mind. The Declaration of Independence (1776), The White House, Golden Gate Bridge and last but not least WTC (1973-2001) these buildings were the real symbols of America. Happy early 4th of July guys 🦅🗽🎆 🏈

They're carving a monument of the Native American Chief "Crazy Horse" in South that's much bigger than the Mount Rushmore one...

I'm too cowardly to get a full tattoo sleeve like Jono so my one and only tattoo on my chest is the bald eagle with the phrase 'In God We Trust' under it.

Yes, Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel built both the Eiffel and the Statue of Liberty. As well as many more amazing stucturea such as Notre- Dame-des-Champs

The arch is in St Louis Missouri

Lincoln, WWII, Washington Monument, Mall and Capitol are all in a line. White house and Jefferson Memorial are at 90 deg as are many others

You should check out "God Bless the USA", Lee Greenwood with military.

Really would’ve thought Old Faithful in Yellowstone would’ve been one… or the park as a whole.

Hotrod and hotdogs

I wish we had the same reverence for our own country as you guys do for us✌️

Madison Square Garden, should have had an honourable mention. Old Faithful also should have had a mention.

The farting scene is from Blazing Saddle’s

Have yinz done Red Skeltons pledge of allegiance yet? Thats always a great watch

The name also originated from the English "Balde" which also "White".

I believe they’re called a bald Eagle because with the whiteheads the kind of resemble a bald person
