Way back in 1944, nurse Regina Benson joined the Army Nurse Corps in Philadelphia when she was just 24. Now the veteran Army nurse of McLean, Virginia, is 100 years old.

Benson hails the United States as “the greatest country in the world.” She urges young Americans today to love their country and remember the sacrifices that military service members have made for the sake of American freedom.
