The National WWII Museum celebrated the 111th birthday of Mr. Lawrence Brooks, a New Orleans native and the oldest known U.S. veteran of World War II, at his home on Saturday, September 12. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Museum, which has hosted a birthday celebration for Mr. Brooks on its campus for the past five years, arranged a socially distant birthday celebration. The Museum’s vocal trio, The Victory Belles, performed a series of numbers including “Happy Birthday,” and Mr. Brooks enjoyed military plane flyovers courtesy of the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team and The Big Easy Wing. The Museum additionally presented Mr. Brooks with a cake and nearly 10 thousand birthday cards that were collected as a result of a national card drive.
