In this video news segment is a very emotional 1 minute video of when Paul got down on his knees to thank his father for always being there for him, and for waiting 65 years for Paul to get Married. Paul’s father the 101-year-old WWII Hero was all choked up with emotion – and it was a great moment to be part of !
The 101-Year-Old WWII Vet Hero: Sidney Walton has been honored by 4 U.S. Presidents in the Oval Office of the White House:
and 36 Governors in 36 State Capitols, and by our U.S. Allied World leaders in France for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Europe in Normandy, France. Sidney also has been honored recently on National TV on Christmas Day as he was given The “Patriot Award” for “Unsung Hero” by American country music singer-songwriter superstar John Rich, and at the Super bowl, World Series, NBA Championship by the LA Lakers, and at many other major events throughout the USA and the world! Sidney Walton has become a celebrity who is loved by everyone that has had the opportunity to meet him!
So Sidney took a pause from his National No Regrets Tour (visiting all 50 states and meeting all 50 governors in a campaign to raise awareness of the rapidly shrinking number of WWII vets) to serve as Best Man at his son Paul Walton’s wedding to fiancé Amy Cowden at the world famous “A Little White Wedding Chapel” on the Las Vegas Strip:
“I’ve been waiting many years for this moment!” said Sidney. This will be the first marriage for Paul, age 65, who is Sidney’s constant travel companion. “I finally found the love of my life,” said Paul, “and I found her while traveling with my dad” . . . “I gotta tell you, this tour that we’ve been on it feels the best when I’m with my dad and he’s front and center.” Below Wedding Photo taken at A Little White Wedding Chapel of Paul & Amy, the Best Man: 101-Year-Old WWII Vet: Sidney Walton, and the friend of Paul’s for 30 years: Entertainment Today, and Entertainment & Sports Today TV Producer: Steve Taylor:
Sidney regretted missing an opportunity to meet some of the last Civil War veterans, so his No Regrets Tour is giving thousands of people a chance to meet a WWII veteran before it’s too late, and to honor the sacrifices they made to save this great country. “I joined the Army to fight Hitler,” said Sidney, who left college in New York City at 22 to enlist nine months before Pearl Harbor.
The No Regrets Tour, which began in April 2018, has traveled through 36 states. Observed his son Paul, “we have found that my father inspires tremendous appreciation among those he meets. He is a living piece of history, reminding us not to forget the price of our freedoms today.”
Due to COVID-19, Sidney no longer flies and rents vehicles to visit Governors. He now travels safely in a 2020 Buick Enclave.
