Happy Veterans Day!
Few people enjoy a good stroll quite like 95-year-old Harvey Djerf.
He’s been seen walking the same route in a Plymouth, Minnesota, neighborhood as long as anyone can remember.
“I’ve always liked to walk,” the World War II veteran tells local station KARE11. “I feel better if I walk.”
So too, it seemed, did the people who gazed out their windows to find Djerf on one of his twice-daily saunters.
Then one day, someone put out a chair for him.
“People saw me stopping and catching my breath,” he tells KARE11. “They figured that Harvey maybe needs a place to rest.”
And they were right. Djerf sunk right into that chair, keen to take a break.
