Emma Didlake, who is African-American and was born in Alabama, is not only believed to be the nation’s oldest surviving veteran, she was a trailblazer, joining the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps in 1943 when she was 38 and a mother of five.

“Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and with all propriety…” (1 Timothy 5:1-2).
