103-year-old WWII vet reaches millions online

This Veterans Day, we meet a World War II veteran from Camarillo with more than 2 million followers online. 103-year-old Jack Van Nordheim served in the Army and helped care for malaria patients in Australia. So we asked Jack how it feels to hear from his followers. Uncle Jack, how old are you? Oh, Damon, am I 100? Jack Van Nordheim is 103 now. His grandnephew, Damon, posted his first video on Jack's birthday four years ago. Our first video was Uncle Jack telling everyone, Today is my birthday. I'm 99 years old. I do hope you make it this long. It was a short video, and all of a sudden we had hundreds of thousands of happy birthdays. Millions now follow Ask Uncle Jack. On social media, seeking advice on how to live into their golden years. People should be very active. They should eat a lot of dark chocolate and sweeten with bee honey, pure bee honey. And walk and climb trees, play Tarzan, and that will make you get older and older and bolder and bolder. But Veterans Day is a chance to thank the people who served and hear what that service was like in their own words. Including Jack. Happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your service. You've seen the world, but all I saw, I saw the sea. Long before TikTok, he served in the Army during World War II. I was with a 153 station hospital. We were treating patients. He was stationed in Australia, where he helped care for patients with malaria. On TikTok, he's also candid about what it's like to be alone. That's something his followers have helped change. Damon says donations through GoFundMe help support Jack. He also has well-wishers who come by to share stories and spend time with Jack. It made me feel very good. It made me feel very good. And if you're looking for a way to thank a veteran like Jack, pull up a chair, ask a question, give them time to tell the story. Until then, this is Damon signing off. If you'd like to follow Uncle Jack, his TikTok account is AskUncleJack, and we thank Uncle Jack for his service.
