This man is 100 years old today and has no family left to celebrate with him.
He is sitting there in the quiet. Imagine outliving every single person who knew you when you were young. Every friend who knew your voice when you were twenty is gone now. All those shared memories exist only inside his head.
He is one of our American veterans. An old medal sits in a drawer under the batteries. A heavy piece of metal tucked away under the spare AA batteries and some old keys. It stays there in the dark while the rooms stay silent.
Watch the video again. Watch his eyes right before he says those last words. He looks straight at the camera. He is not crying. He is just stating a hard fact.
He served a long time ago. He survived the cold weather and the long distance from home. He came back and lived a long life. Now he is the last one left.
We can still make sure he is seen on his milestone day. Let him know someone is looking back at him from the other side of the screen. ❤️
Please leave one single word for him in the comments.
