Lawrence Brooks will celebrate his 111 birthday on September 12, 2020 (Credit: nationalww2museum.org)

When the United States formally entered World War II — the six-year-long global conflict that began in 1939 with Nazi Germany's attack on Poland — in 1941, millions of brave Americans helped to fight for the cause. Among them was New Orleans resident Lawrence Brooks, who served the country for five years as a soldier in the US Army's 91st Engineer Battalion. Fortunately for us, Brooks, who will celebrate his 111th birthday on September 12, 2020, is still around to share his exciting encounters.

          My great Grandpa worked for the army and died on veterans day because they thought he was faking his ID
