QUITMAN, Ga. (WSET) – A 95-year-old American hero is walking across the country for the second time!
Ernest Andrus, who was a Navy Corpsman in World War II is walking across America and plans to step foot in every U.S. state.
WTOC reported that he started in Saint Simons Island, Georgia on March 16.
Last time he did the cross-country walk, it took him two years.
This time, he said he’s covering 13 miles a week and that he would be 100 by the time he’s done, meaning he’s expecting it to take five years.
