SCRANTON, Pa. — A very special birthday celebration was held Tuesday in Scranton for a 103-year-old World War II veteran.

Morris Kashuba is a resident at the Gino Merli Veterans Center in Scranton, and the staff surprised him with a party Tuesday afternoon.

Kashuba served with the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1946 and earned 3 Bronze Stars.

Pennsylvania's Deputy Adjutant General was on hand to present Kashuba with a special military coin.

The staff at Gino Merli says Kashuba is pretty sharp and enjoys a can of Mountain Dew every day.
