Former Heisman winner and University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow visited a special-needs shelter on Monday in Jacksonville, Florida, where he spent time with victims and evacuees from Hurricane Irma. Tebow is a former NFL quarterback and current baseball outfielder for the New York Mets.
Tebow spent time with a World War II veteran and was lucky enough to hear him play a song on his harmonica.
Tebow posted the video on Twitter sand said his spirits were uplifted after hearing the tune.
Totally uplifted by this #ww2 veteran, who's spirit and talents encouraged his fellow visitors at this Special Needs Shelter! #irma pic.twitter.com/2q1nH7EHz0
