100-year-old Richland veteran fought in 3 wars. Now he's fighting coronavirus

George Jenkins woke up at 1 a.m. Friday to celebrate his birthday.

He was turning 100 years old, and worried about dying in his sleep before seeing the big day.

Jenkins made it.

But now — after flying military planes during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars — the Richland man is fighting another kind of battle on the homefront.

Jenkins tested positive for COVID-19, joining more than 101,000 of his fellow Americans who’ve been hit with this new and deadly version of the coronavirus.

He has made the world a better place by his presence.

Blessings to him. I wish him a calm and peaceful passage from our planet.
