This 96-Year-Old Veteran's Take On Popular 'Flossing' Dance Move Has Everyone Grooving

Chuck Franzke knows the key to staying young is to keep his dancing shoes on. At 96-years-old this WWII veteran isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Must be those smooth dance moves.


Franzke has become a bit of an internet sensation by showing off his current dance moves just in time for his birthday. The tradition started three years ago when the organization The Stars and Stripes Honor Flight posted his first birthday dance video. The organization is responsible for flying vets to Washington D.C to.visit war memorials.

This year Franzke decided to switch things up by "flossing" after he saw a video on YouTube. He tells Inside Edition:

"I was doing the Floss.I saw it on the internet. I did the same dance twice before and decided to branch out a little bit. "Many years, I Jitterbugged in the 30s and 40s."

But all anyone who's experienced a terrifying ordeal can do to find peace is to count their blessings and be grateful they are survivors.

Perhaps the best thing about our friends is that we can always rely on them.

To help us out, to give us words of comfort and wisdom when we need them, or to just be a willing pair of ears.

Even so, our friends still have a way of surprising us, as well as disappointing us from time to time.

Sometimes they'll do things that just make us groan and roll our eyes but are easily forgiven over time.

Other times, however, they might do or say something which can only be described as "f*cked up."

Potentially putting an effective end to your friendship.

When you gotta go, you go.

That should be a mantra for getting rid of the toxic people in our lives.

Not every relationship is meant to last forever.

Some people don't know how to be friends.

They are awfully good at pretending though.

Be vigilant of the signs and red flags.

Toxic people are crafty.

And once you're free, never look back.
