John Mastrocola, a 95-year-old World War II veteran, grabs his cane, a chair and an American flag every day at 8 a.m. and goes out to sit beside the sidewalk to wish his community a patriotic good morning, according to local reports.
“I am one of the very few World War II veterans left so before I leave I want them to remember John 'Never Surrender' Mastrocola,†the Torrington, Conn., resident told Hartford-based Fox 61.
He spends a couple of hours curbside every morning because he wants more people to respect both the flag and the country, the outlet reported.
