LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. – It’s a birthday a century in the making.<\/p>\n
World War Two Veteran Wendell Sherman is celebrating his 100th birthday!<\/p>\n
His family put together a party for him Saturday – full of everyone who loves him.<\/p>\n
That includes his wife – Doris. The pair are coming up on their 75th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n
Wendell is a combat veteran, a graduate of Lafayette, and a former Lehigh University teacher.<\/p>\n
We asked him how he felt about reaching this major milestone.<\/p>\n
“Being 100 years old is rather remarkable in the first place. I wonder often what I did right to make it happen. But, I’ve enjoyed life and I think I’ve done a good job at it.”<\/p>\n
Wendell officially turns 100 on Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. – It’s a birthday a century in the making.
