Veteran Henry Naruszwiecz to Celebrate His 105th Birthday

From Dec. 22, 2020, WCVB 5 News, Massachusetts.

World War II veteran Henry Naruszwiecz will celebrate his 105th birthday this January 1 or January 3rd (as some of his family think).  But he is absolutely sure it's the 1st.

He and his two older brothers served in the U.S. military in World War II.

Seventy-six years ago he was at the Battle of the Bulge under the command of  General George S. Patton.  "We had one of the best armored field artillery units he'd seen," Henry said.  "So he sent us up there.  It was two days before Christmas."

Humor has served him well over all those years.  As far as the secret to living so long, he says "I don't know, I don't know. moderate living I would say, don't do anything to excess."

He says he still drives the Buick he bought in 2007 and still has an active Massachusetts drivers license, good for four more years and says that when he is 109, he'll give it up.
