101-year-old veteran recognized as 'Living Legend'
She's 101 years old, lived through Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II, and then went on to serve in the U.S. Army as a medical lab technician.
Her name is Ruth Roque Herbolsheimer. And today, she was recognized as a 'Living Legend' by the Military Women's Memorial.
The Military Women's Memorial is based in Arlington, Virginia, and preserves 'Her Story' through its monument and organization.
They recognize 'Living Legends' when veterans turn 100 years old or if they have another significant accomplishment worth celebrating.
Roque Herbolsheimer was joined today by her family and friends from her gym, where she works out several days per week.
Watch the video above to see the special moment.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup
Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.
