100 year old Veteran

Did anyone else see the interview with the old guy from Oklahoma that is 100 years old?
He still grows a Big Garden, raises cattle, runs a tractor, and generally stays active all the time.
He was shot down on what was supposed to be his last bombing run before going home during the War, and was a POW for some time.
He said he weighed 180 when he was shot down, and weighed around 120 when released.
He goes down to a Cancer treatment Center each year, and makes a donation there, and is still sharp mentally too! Amazing life story that to me shows the importance of staying active, and engaged with the life we are given!

They say a body in motion stays in motion. I’ve worked with many over the years that have retired just to go home and sit in the recliner. Most pass away after a year or less of retirement. There are a couple that refuse to quit even after retirement, working part time somewhere, farming…just anything to stay active. Those guys are still going strong.
