Tim Tebow was the highlight at a Hurricane Irma relief center on Monday until a World War II veteran got a hold of his harmonica.
The former University of Florida quarterback was visiting victims and evacuees at a special needs shelter in Florida on Monday where he spent some time with a World War II veteran. Tebow posted a video of their exchange to his Twitter account in which the man plays a cheerful little song on the harmonica.

“Totally uplifted by this #ww2 veteran, whose spirit and talents encouraged his fellow visitors at this Special Needs Shelter! #irma,” Tebow wrote in the tweet.
The former NFL quarterback is still very well known in Florida from his college days and was surely a welcome surprise at the hurricane shelter. Earlier in the day Tebow posted a heartfelt video to his Twitter account offering his prayers and support to those affected by the storm.
