A close friend of an almost-94-year-old World War II Navy veteran posted a video to Twitter of him dancing to Christmas music, and it soon went viral.
Charles Franzke, who turns 94 on Thursday, can be seen grooving out to Burl Ives' rendition of Johnny Marks' classic 'Holly Jolly Christmas', while wearing a 'Got Freedom?' shirt.
Franzke's friend Karyn Roelke told Fox News she shot the video of the veteran showcasing his Christmas cheer.
Roelke said Franzke and his wife Beverly are also celebrating their 77th anniversary together.
Mr. Franzke memorably sent Beverly her engagement ring from his post on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific during the war, Roelke said.
She said Franzke recently went on an Honor Flight with her, and added that he helps raise money for other veterans to do the same.
