Honoring our Greatest Generation

It was simple, but meaningful for this WWII veteran as a bunch of runners already raising money for the Pat Tillman Foundation passed by and shook his hand.

Thumbs up if you saw this on social media and/or appreciate this gesture.

Wow! This Gave Me Chills! What An Awesome Runner!

While the crowd gathered at the starting line, a 95-year-old vet donned his WWII uniform and took a seat on his front lawn to applaud the passing runners. Each year the 408K Race to the Row raises funds for the Pat Tillman Foundation, so Joe Bell wanted to show his appreciation, but he was the one in for a surprise.

Sir,
This is great, it's good to see veterans getting the respect they deserve even so many years later.
