My grandfather turned 90. A feat more incredible because of everything he has gone through--both mentally and physically. He lived during the depression years and worked hard as a young boy. He was drafted into the army during WWII with reconnaissance forces, regularly crossing into enemy territory. He was captured by the Germans on Christmas day in 1944 and remained there for four months until the camp was liberated by the Russians, just in time to save his frozen and starving body. In spite of all this, he's never lost his smile or his joy. And he passes that on to everyone he meets.
