Grocery store worker, 90, and former Louisiana news anchor share touching moment

[@Native722]

He's moving really well for a 90 year old. God bless him

[@MattieMc]

Heck, he's moving really well, not just for a 90 plus year old, but also an 80, a 70, a 60, and even a 50 year old. Amazing.

[@ChiselMouse]

The cart pushing keeps him in good shape for his age.

[@djbowman8615]

It’s the heat I’m worried about

[@MattieMc]

In addition to my first reply here of my admiration for this 90yr.old working man, i worked in the grocery business from 16yrs. old to 41yrs. old.. started as a bagger, clerks helper, and worked up to store manager. Started in a completely different business from 41 yrs. to 66yrs.old. Self employed. I'm 71yrs.old now, and not a day goes by that my hips, knees, and back don't hurt and ache something awful from that 25yrs in the grocery business I did. Once again, much respect for this man, 90 yrs.old Still at it, and a great positive outlook on life. Inspiring for sure.

[@JVanProduction]

Exactly, it is a shame that the US doesn’t take care of the elderly at that point in their lives. 😢

[@captainobvious2435]

A lot of the elderly weren't / aren't good people but we allow elderly to blind us anyways. When you see elderly do bad things on shows like American Greed or To Catch a Predator (elderly pedophiles) it will change your mind.

But give away $100 billion to Ukraina, $30billion to Israel. and many billions to other countries.

If you want vets and elderly to have more support people need to quit voting for republicans.

[@jdgill-u2s]

we do. he gets free health and there are food banks. His house should be paid off. we should have no shame. We should STOP funding pointles endless wars. THAT is a shame.

[@leanneadams2549]

$1,100 PER MONTH for a Vet ?????? How insulting!!!!

[@BEACHCHICK-iy5jp]

He is getting social security not a military retirement, which means either he wasn't in the military long enough to collect or he does not know he can. Maybe the lady that helped him can research and see if he is eligible to collect a military retirement as well.

[@pawsfurGod]

😢😢😢😢😢It's sicking!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@casper5555]

He obviously didn't make enough money to put in social security. So that's what he is getting per month. Most likely didn't have a large retirement funding or savings for the future. This is why you should have an actual retirement plan and start saving for your future and not relying on social security or Medicaid unless you need to.

[@rickyayy]

Disgusting

[@deealone5191]

I wondered about that too because I have a cousin that was in the Navy for about 6 years and she got on the veteran's disability claiming she's bipolar. That was 30 years ago and I don't know how much she gets but she lives a better life than a lot of people who are working 50 hours a week.

How said that he had to wait until the age of 90 for someone to help him. Imagine the tens of thousands of people who have probably seen him working going into the store and they did nothing. That's what's wrong with the word. 1 compassionate person out of tens of thousands if not even more. Thank you to the lady for being that 1 person. You are what makes life beautiful.

$1.100 a month for a veteran is a slap in the face. So insulting for our veteran who set an ultimate decision to protect and serve our nation.

[@daniellereid7576]

It really is fought risk they lives for our country 5k should be given when any vet come back from war

[@davidstufflebean3285]

It wasn't because he is a veteran. That was his Social Security. There are a few Veteran classifications also, just cause your a Veteran does not mean you get anything for serving, if you retired then yes you can get a pension, you might be a Veteran with a Serive Connected Disability like me, I got a small disability I got 84 dollars eventually got an additional raise in my disability rating to 20% and now I get $350 a month, others get around 2k+ for 100% disability, then there are non-service Conected Veterans they do not get anything other then some medical care. Good that the community came through for him though I am just clarifying about the Veteran part of it because so many people seem to think just cause you are a Veteran you are supposed to get money from someone and that is not the case.
