What did he do? Mine was a copilot on a Flying Fortress. They flew some missions over North Africa and over France and Germany I believe. He made it through but then sadly died of a heart attack at 63
My dad was in as well he would be 90 if he were alive Friday Sept 13th was 21 years since he passed. My uncle is 93 he's still living my dad brother he was in as well he drove himself fishing on Friday the 13th and went by his self
My father is a WW ll Veteran who was in the Navy during Pearl Harbor and 8 years after. He still suffers from PTSD because of all the friends he saw slaughtered and other horrors of the war. He is 100 years old now and l am proud of him as well as this wonderful man at 110 ! How tragic he lost his wife in Katrina. Sending love ad respect and prayers ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
You must have skipped history. Boomers were drafted and served in Vietnam. Many did several tours. They also fought for civil rights, gay rights, womens rights, and created some of the best music. You're Ill informed. Bye 👋
Godbless this man! Not only for his service but for being the man he still is today, we need more people as kind spirited as him! I can’t believe he’s 110 he looks AMAZING!!!!
The real blessing is living that long and not be bed ridden and not have serious health problems both physically and mentally! Would love to live that long, I want to live as long as my mind is good and not in pain having to take lots of pills and be bed ridden!

Lol When the government starts dumping people in mass graves for their political and religious beliefs and banning guns we will be living in a fascist country.
My grandpa was Larry Ritzo he’s buried in Washington DC he fought in the pacific theater. He used to boil me eggs when I was a kid. He earned a Purple Heart I cannot afford to go to his grave someone take a picture of his gravestone and send it to me. He was born 1917.

This veteran's birthday is on Friday the 13th?!?! AND he is 110 YEARS OLD?!?! No bad luck for him!😎
Joshua Lowe 0:37 His birthday was on September 12, 1909. That was a Sunday. So no, his birthday wasn’t on a Friday 13th.
Joshua Lowe Friday the 13th is only a western myth
Plus his birthday is said to be the 12th
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you Sir, for your service to this country!
Congrats. 110
Thank you sir for not only serving your country, but serving humanity as well. God bless you!
He’s an 1900s kid!!!!! Crazy
So sweet... Bless him ❤️😭❤️
Years later....the nation he defended - Is now flirting with fascism
And at the same time bolshevism
Democrat communism.
Mark W. Republikkkan racism
Says the communist
Lol When the government starts dumping people in mass graves for their political and religious beliefs and banning guns we will be living in a fascist country.
Just two more years to be the same age as Richard Overton
Brooks now just turned 112. Rest In Peace also to Richard Overton, an American hero as well.
