Ernie Andrus is a 90-year-old World War II veteran who is on a mission that you will not believe! He's out to be the oldest person to run across the United States. Although it might take him years to fulfill his dream, he's not letting that get him down.
The reason why he's running, however, is even more uplifting than what he's actually doing. Ernie is running to raise awareness for one of the unsung heroes of WWII – the landing ship tank he was stationed on during the war. Today, his ship is the only "LST" left in the USA and he wants to make sure it isn't forgotten.
The ship may not be getting the recognition it deserves just yet, but here's to making sure Ernie is always remembered. Do your part by honoring this amazing man – SHARE his story with your friends.
