Having tasted his fair share of Army food, World War II veteran Edmund Rusinek knows the value of a good meal—an appreciation that likely swayed how he chose to celebrate his recent 92nd birthday on Feb 19.

The former staff sergeant is a frequent patron of a local Chick-fil-A restaurant in Los Alamitos, California, where fellow servicemen and women and their families come to dine often. It was here that Rusinek celebrated his birthday by shelling out a whopping $1,500 in meals for all military who attended.
