Few achievements stand out like those of our veterans who have fought devastating battles and seen unimaginable horrors to protect our homeland. One such hero has just turned 100 years old, racking up one more incredible milestone under his belt.
U.S. Marine First Sgt. John Farritor has turned 100 this month, celebrating his incredible life of service and dedication at his retirement community in Vista, California. Farritor fought major battles in both World War II and in the Korean War, including at Iwo Jima, Japan, and Chosin Resevoir in North Korea, which were among the most dangerous and deadly battles of both wars.
