Lawrence Brooks who just turned 110 is believed to be the oldest living American WW2 veteran *. Mr Brooks, who was in the U.S.Army, was stationed in New Guinea and the Philippines. He was assigned to the 91st Engineer Bn.
While not honored much by the Army, he has been honored by GOD who has blessed him with his three score and ten plus another two score and counting. Lawrence had the pleasure of celebrating his 110th at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans where the crew is looking forward to his 111th, 112th,113th... Some one must make great cake, it seems Mr Brooks is looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Lawrence. You are a true hero and blessed.
* the oldest WW2 vet is German Gustav Gerneth who is 113.
To quote the late Bob Grant: It's sick and getting sicker!
