This man knows a legend when he sees one ‘cause he’s one himself.

I hope he got a picture with her. That was very sweet. He don’t look it I thought more like late 80’ish. He is living well. What a moment

THIS REPRESENTS WHEN America is strong, Thank you sir!!

[smartchick]

I loved that and when she actually came out and said hi, that was pure class. And that’s why she’s the G.O.A.T.🇺🇸

How incredible to live so long that he came to cheer on a girl who dominates the world but at one time would not have been able to be in the same building as him 🙌🏻

[rosepeacock]

He looks phenomenal at 106. May God bless him exceedingly and abundantly above all that he can ask or think.

He have been through and seen a lot of changes, this is one of those Changes he probably never thought he live to see.

106? OMG! OMG! OMG! He is ABSOLUTELY. AMAZING! Thank you for your service, SIR! KEEP LIVING! 😯😲😁💙🇺🇲

As a veteran, I love seeing older vets. 🥰 And the fact that Simone is his favorite...even better.

Thank you Sir and Simone for both your service. You've done more for the US than we'll ever be able to give you credit for. 🖤💐

He looks great for 106 years old. God is so good to him🙏

Beautiful. Now this is the kind of America I want- one full of love and none of the hate pushed by . . . .who will remain nameless.
