Brought tears to my eyes.
Show off.
If I could catch that many breaths, I could play the harmonica too :)
I’m 51 and I think if I was seated, with an oxygen mask, I could do it :)
What a story.
96. Can’t even imagine in wildest fantasies seeing that age.
Good for him. I hope he’s doing it at 100.
The folks that want to live to be a hundred are those that are ninety-nine. (gramps joke).
We SALUTE this WWII HERO & hope that he’s enjoying this Memorial Day.
Yours, Darla & TMN78247
This veteran stood up and saluted. I loved it!
“Brought tears to my eyes.”
Me too, and I play the harmonica. He is exceptional and nailed every note. He showed even at 96, there are still kick-ass Americans. A good day for me, the Kit even brought her three kitties out and “introduced” them to me. I must seem like a big wookie to them, they’re already stuck to me like glue, lol.
ROFL!!!
I mean if you can still move and not like an old man Tim Conway skit kind of move :), and you can still chew and talk and think, then yeah why not? :)
I flew a jump plane where this 100yo did a tandem jump from 12K; birthday present. (I was going to add from his parents)
The from his parents part would be unusual :)
