Stop what you're doing and watch this.
Before the New York Islanders vs. New York Rangers game, 104‑year‑old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli took to the ice with his saxophone.
Critelli is a former U.S. Army Staff Sergeant who fought at Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, spending 151 days in combat. He told the New York Post that he emigrated to the U.S. from Italy before the war.
I love this country. If I hadn't come to this country, I'd be stuck with Mussolini.
Critelli didn't just survive Mussolini, he made life miserable for the fascist dictator, earning multiple medals for his bravery in combat. And yet somehow, he still found time to master the saxophone.
And nailed it.
With the crowd erupting with booming chants of "USA!" Critelli hit and held the final note for and incredible 15 seconds!
Fans online weren't shy about their reactions:
For those craving a little unity (and aren't we all?), this 104‑year‑old just delivered.
