WWII Vet Tears Up When Navy Sailors Surprise Him With Song (WATCH)

Ernie Thompson was alive to see the end of World War II – and since he’s still alive today, these Navy sailors wanted to show their appreciation for his service.

While Ernie was sitting outside his home in California, 24 servicemen of the Battleship IOWA came marching down the street singing the classic Navy song “Anchors Away”.
