Oldest Living Marine

quote:

STOCKTON (CBS13) — A familiar face out of Stockton celebrated a major milestone Friday. Major Bill White, the oldest living Marine, turned 105. 
Not even a pandemic could squash the drive-by salute to centenarian Major Bill While.
“Feels just as good as it did at 104,” White said Friday. 



quote:

"He was in Shanghai before WWII and the Japanese invasion and all that, Iwo Jima got hit. Blown up with a grenade. Recovered from that. Spent a total of 30 years in the Marine Corps. Just an amazing guy,” Tony Walker, communications director for The Oaks at Inglewood, said. 


Great to see stories I like this, and folks showing appreciation for those who served during WWII. We don't have many of them left. So, talk to them, appreciate them, and support them.

*This thread can not be Germans....this guy was part of the generation that killed them all.

I was a little liberal with that statement, of course.
