(CNN)World War II veteran Harvey Erwin has voted all of his life. But he had never been cheered for doing his civic duty -- at least not until today.

The 94-year-old was standing in line to vote Tuesday in Joplin, Missouri, when a man behind him spotted his Air Force hat and thanked him for his service. Erwin was a tail gunner in the 781st Bombardment Squadron and flew 25 missions during World War II.
