Death is something that awaits us all, it’s inevitable. However, there are some people that seem to know the secrets behind living a long and prosperous life…
One man has become America’s oldest World War II veteran after celebrating his socially-distanced birthday this weekend.
Nobody knows when their inevitable death will greet them.
And it is no secret that some people will go on to live extremely long lives.
The oldest US war veteran is Lawrence Brooks…
And he turned a huge 111 on Saturday!
And the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team and the Big Easy Wing flew overhead too!
He also danced a two-step to the Belle’s rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
Saying, “God bless all of you. Every one of you.”
He said “it’s simple. Serve God and be nice to people.”
The world would be a much nicer place.
He was a support worker for officers in his battalion, helping with task and making sure everyone was looked after.
Brooks spoke to the National Geographic about his time in the war, saying: “I had some good times and I had some bad times. I just tried to put all the good ones and the bad ones together and tried to forget about all of them.”
Sadly, his wife Leona died during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
