      Sorry my other comment was mostly unrelated so I deleted it. In this specific case, him being a WW2 Veteran actually matters the most. The only reason he walked across that stage is because he mentioned over coffee that he never got his special day to graduate officially because he was drafted before graduation. So they honored him by having him walk as a graduate to receive his diploma.
