## Resource

Stanley ODell, a 100-year-old World War Two veteran from Lakeland, Florida, celebrated his birthday on Saint Patricks Day. He served as a radio repair tech, keeping troops connected on the front lines in Europe, and continues to walk daily at his senior community. Growing up on a dairy farm, he lost his brother at a young age but enlisted in the war after family stories from the first World War. He earned a Good Conduct Medal and worked at a milk plant for thirty-five years after the war, still drinking milk daily. He also served as a volunteer firefighter for thirty-five years, always serving his neighbors. ODell has carried an American flag close, proud of his country that shaped his century of quiet grit.
