WWII Veteran Celebrates 100th Birthday By Visiting All 50 States

A World War II veteran is celebrating his 100th birthday by visiting all 50 states.

Corporal Sidney Walton, who enlisted in 1941 at age 21, decided to make the cross-country trip with his family and has visited 19 states so far, hoping to meet as many Americans – and especially veterans – as possible.

Walton says he wishes he’d taken the chance to meet a Civil War veteran when he was young, and says he hopes to see “another 100 years”.
