Big thanks for sticking with us. I\u2019m Doug Proffitt, and joining me is Rachel Platt. We first introduced you to Ernie back in June. He\u2019s part of the Greatest Generation, but he\u2019s too humble to admit it.&nbsp;<strong>WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, Ernie\u2019s got a ton of wisdom at a hundred years old. When we met him on the Honor Flight to Washington, he shared some emotional moments about his time in World War Two. He\u2019s still active, driving around and tending to his summer garden, which he loves dearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not just about his activities. Ernie\u2019s got a motto he lives by \u2013 it\u2019s who he is. He talks about respect a lot, especially in today\u2019s world where it seems to be lacking, especially in politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all that, Ernie\u2019s optimistic and full of life. It\u2019s inspiring to see someone like him, who\u2019s been through so much, still holding onto hope and spreading positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Words of wisdom from a 100-year-old veteran\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2RjhaJRMJZw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been celebrating Veterans all weekend, and tonight, we\u2019ve got the spotlight on Ernie Micka, who\u2019s a hundred years old.
