One of Ohio's delegates, Ruby Gilliam, is 93-years-young, and hails from Minerva, Ohio.

A World War II veteran, she is attending her 8th consecutive convention, and was tapped to say the Pledge of Allegiance, to kick things off on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention.

"When I say the Pledge of Allegiance, I'm saying it to all of our fallen comrades", Ruby tells reporters.

Out of more than 4,000 delegates, she's the oldest attending the convention.

And she admits she's a little nervous to say the pledge... which is why she got help from the youngest delegate; a 17-year-old from Maine.

Ruby has a message for her friends who couldn't make the trip from Minerva to Philadelphia for the 2016 DNC..."wish you were here, I'm having a great time, we're going to nominate Hillary Clinton, who's going to be the next president of the United States."

Below is the interview Ruby did with our own Joe Irizarry from the DNC in Philadelphia:
