Coffey is 108-years-old. She enlisted in 1943 and subsequently earned two Bronze Stars. After being honorably discharged in 1945, Coffey worked in civil service and on a Texas Air Force base until she retired in 1971.

Shortly after Biden sat down with Coffey, President Barack Obama dropped in and gave her a presidential command coin.

Biden responded to Obama dropping in by joking with Coffey that it was like having a "better-looking" man steal his date. Initially, Coffey seemed resistant to Biden's charms.
