If you were at Widespread Panic’s Trondossa Festival this past weekend, you may have encountered Sidney Walton.

The World War II veteran was celebrating his 100th birthday at the South Carolina event, and according to a post by photographer Josh Timmermans he is currently in the midst of a “No Regrets Tour,” where he is “visiting every state’s capital to meet all 50 governors and greet millions of patriotic Americans along the way.”

In Timmermans’ photo, Walton is clearly excited and feeling younger than his 100 years. At one point in the weekend, WSP fans even sung “Happy Birthday” to the hero, clearing room for him to get to the front row.

Walton is currently “one of America’s oldest WWII vets,” and served in the US Army between 1941-1946, enlisting right before Pearl Harbor.

“The No Regrets Tour is offering every American an opportunity to meet one of the few remaining WWII veterans.

Sidney Walton, who just turned 100 and is now one of America’s oldest WWII vets, was born Feb 11, 1919 in NYC. He joined the Army in 1941, nine months before Pearl Harbor, and served in India, part of the CBI (China, Burma, India) theater of combat. He returned to New York City in 1946, after completing five years of service.

Sidney regrets missing an historic moment to meet some of the last veterans of the Civil War. To make up for that regret, Sidney is visiting every state’s capital to meet all 50 governors and greet millions of patriotic Americans along the way.”
