STORY
-----------
The house on the corner of the street, once the home of American war veteran Mr. Fred, holds a tale waiting to be told. Mr. Fred served in the Vietnam War and spent countless memories in this very house, living there for decades. Despite his son leaving to start a family, Mr. Fred couldn't bear to leave the memories of his wife and family behind.
However, as time passed, the house fell into disrepair, its once beautiful exterior now worn and forgotten. But we won't let Mr. Fred's story be forgotten. Join us as we uncover the heart of the past, explore the memories that still linger within the walls of this historic home, and pay homage to a war veteran and the sacrifices he made for his country. Don't miss out on this journey through time and history.

  • I am a retired Navy Veteran, and I watch your videos quite often. I felt compelled to thank you for your respect, and kindness, for a person's property, veteran or not. The Vietnam Vet in this video was with you every step that you had taken in his home. The concern you had for his life well lived, and honor you displayed toward his life and service, are commendable. You were raised right, Leslie, and the work you do means that memories will never be erased..even when the material things are gone. It is a nice, and beautiful thing you do, and I thank you.

  • As an American, I want to thank you for honoring the military veteran, Fred, in this video. It’s perplexing as to why the family members just abandoned this home and all the wonderful memories and belongings inside. I believe from the Father’s Day card is an indication that he was loved. I wish this lovely home could be restored. He was a very neat man. He kept his home clean and his clothes were folded perfectly. This is a wonderful video. Thank you and Lesley and Danny for sharing it with us.

    • It seems weird this house wasn’t put into a trust or life estate or something to that effect? Otherwise, how is it that you’re able to just go and barge into it without permission? Why no writ of replevin from the state, for its yearly taxes due for example? Even if there were no liens left behind such as if this house had no mortgage payments owed on it, still someone has to eventually claim it. In a situation like this with no children taking on the role as trustee wouldn’t the state just take it? That’s usually what they do in most places in the United States. Either way even if he had no bills left behind which was impeccably wonderful. The government needs to be notified so that they or someone from there can get the ball rolling, start cleaning it out, putting the mementos in a storage facility, and then getting it remodeled, and auctioned off or something via a judicial sale where a real estate company can buy it and sell it. I’m confused about this kind of thing.

  • I'm also a veteran and I can't thank you enough for taking the time, capacity and care in honoring fellow veterans like you did for Fred (and others you've documented in the past). It means the world to me to see this. The Father's Day card nearly obliterated me with its message as well as your thoughtfulness when displaying and viewing his military memorabilia. He was obviously a dedicated father who also kept up with his technology far better than most senior citizens do these days! THANK YOU for being conscientious and thoughtful in these explorations. Again, it means the world to me to see the respect and care you perform in these. Herer's to many more explorations and discoveries!

I wonder if his family is just still mourning and can't bear to disassemble the house. It may just be a symbol of their loved one. I get it.

I am sure Fred was smiling and laughing watching you narrate his home life and he was probably yelling, “turn the TV to channel 3 first to make the video player work” but you couldn’t hear him. Keep up the great work. When I pass, I would be honored for you two to explore my home. 😊

  • This video was done so very special and with great respect. My husband was in the Navy during the Viet Nam War He was in the US Navy Stationed in the Tidewater area of Norfolk Virginia. he was on a Destroyer Ship. We were married during these times in the 60's early 70's. . He did travel many places in the Mediterranean area. Mr. Fred looks like he was such a very nice young man during that time and am sure during his last years. He did evidently have Asthma or COPD, and this is typical home of that era. It looks like they kept it all the same mostly. The basement is very typical too of this colder area. The Northern aria of the U.S. His son loved his dad so much and showed such respect. It looks like his dad left everything just as it was when he needed to leave quickly or was found? his son evidently never came back for his dads 'Dog tags' or anything else and did not realize a few of the items may one day be beneficial to hold on to? Sounds like they had a nice life together, and it is sad the wife passed away so young. She must have loved nature and flowers. You did such a good job showing all of the ways the videos etc work and the technology. Can truly see how you both did truly enjoy seeing this home. Cannot believe how his Buick good sit outside and the neighbors are respecting it to leave it alone like they have. They were a richer car in the day and a heavy built one that would hold up to high winds etc. Very well made. Thank you so much Lesley and Danny for showing respect not only to their home and all they had during their years there but also his life. He was not too old when he died. I do not feel as it looks like he would have maybe been in early or mid 70's when he passed.

    • @Not here I don't believe he intends to disrespect his father. His son may be so hurt from his passing that it hurts to relive the memories when he is at the house. When my mother passed away it was really hard on me. So hard that after the funeral it was really hard to go back into her house and take that final look of her home. I could picture her still cooking, watching TV, sleeping in her bed, sitting in her favorite chair. Everywhere I looked I could see and FEEL my mother. I could see her walking in the yard and greeting me with a hug and kiss on my cheek. I knew that was the last time I could visit her home because my heart hurts so bad. Going to a gravesite is completely different. There are no childhood memories at a gravesite. Not like at home. I said my final goodbye to her home because I was happy where I lived and had no intentions of moving to her house. My sister took full control of the house and is now in the process of selling it for the money for herself.

  • It is a possibility if Fred’s son followed in his father’s footsteps, he may still be on active duty, even in another country. That could be a reason why he is unable to claim his father’s belongings. Don’t just assume family members don’t care about these prize possessions. Also, the son may be paying the power bill to help preserve this home and the contents. RIP Fred Thank you for your service!

  • It really wouldn't take much to salvage that home. The family needs to get over there, and recover his personal items, and get that place into condition for another deserving family. It really is sad to see family related neglect when "loved" ones pass away. Thanks for sharing this.

  • I think this has to be among one of my favorites from your USA series. I just love the beautiful story of Fred, his service to our country, and deep love for his family. I just have a hard time understanding why his house and belongings are abandoned. That beautiful car sitting out there, rotting away. I can see from what you found in the house, this man was %1,000 military to the marrow of his bones. God bless him for that! I wonder where his family is, and why they are leaving everything of their father behind to decay forever. I know I could never do that if it was my father. I would have kept every uniform.....everything. That's how you show you're proud of them and appreciate them. Thank you, Lesley and Danny, for the honor you showed to this great American serviceman. You both did a great job as usual.

Could you please in the future pick up items from the floor and at least put them on a table if the house is not messy but just a bit ransacked. I wish I could come with you guys. I would be cleaning up places worth saving.

  • What a touching episode. It is obvious Fred and his family took pride in their house by the way they took care of it. The little space on the wall of the second sitting room is for a telephone. Houses and apartments built during a certain era have them...even here in Canada. As for basements, you are correct. Basements are possible in cold climates because the ground is more stable, therefore less chance of shifting. Your empathy towards the people of the homes is always so touching.

  • Never underestimate brother Lesley on the reclining chair...he knows... In regards to the abandonment, we have the same issue here in the US with inheritance taxes from the county and state like in Europe. The upkeep and taking it over is a monumental task but you never abandon your family memories. This is the biggest disappointment unfortunately. Thus, creating a trust is ever so important.

  • Hi Lesley and Danny, you can tell by the Father's Day card his son loved him very much, so why in the hell has he not gone back to that house and taken care of it. He was a Vietnam vet that would put him in his 70's, also very tech, savoy, that could have been from his son or his military training. His clothes are folded Military style. The picture of the boy was definitely his son, I find it strange there wasn't many photos of his deceased wife, maybe just the one. Anyway, RIP Fred, thank you for your service. Nice find Lesley, great video. Love from N.Y.
