Today, JJ’s Star Spangled Salute honors World War II Veteran and TikTok star Jake Larson, a.k.a Papa Jake. In 1938 he lied about his age and joined the National Guard at 15.  He went on to fight in the Battle of the Bulge and at D-Day on Omaha Beach. Jake will be 101 in December, says he can’t believe it because he feels great and has no aches or pains.  What he does have is over 620,000 Tiktok followers who helped raise money for him to take a trip to Ireland, where so many years ago he prepared for the Second World War. Thank you for telling your story Jake and THANK YOU for your service.
