00:00When D-Day in World War II, Navy Lieutenant Arthur Rose commanded 36 landing craft as
00:07part of the largest naval armada in history. Recalling that sight, he wrote home to his
00:14parents, what a country we are. At 107 years old, Lieutenant Rose is here to salute one
00:23of our nation's most prized possessions. The flag that flew aboard the first landing craft
00:29on D-Day and led the first Americans onto the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe and
00:37defeat Nazi fascism forever.
01:08Lieutenant Rose, you are an inspiration to this beautiful crowd, and we thank you very
01:15much. Amazing men. 107. That's 107.
