‘This means everything to me’: WWII veteran celebrates 100th birthday
EUTAWVILLE, S.C. (WFMY) — Surrounded by loved ones, World War II veteran William James is celebrating his 100th birthday.
“Because he is the only living relative out of his brothers and sisters, he requested all of his nieces and nephews to come home for his birthday, and they are all going to be here,” James’ granddaughter Isha Warr said.
“This means everything to me,” James said. “This is what I wanted them to do. I told them I wanted all of them to come and see me.”
James says the secret to living to 100 is the love he gets from his large family, which includes 10 kids, 20 grandchildren, and 45 great-grandchildren.
