Decorated World War II vet brought to tears as he celebrates 101st birthday at Hooters: ‘I’ve never seen him cry’

A Texas retiree who served in both World War II and the Korean War was brought to tears as he celebrated his 101st birthday — at a Hooters.

 

 

 

Harry Perez Cerezo, a Purple Heart recipient, rang in the milestone birthday in El Paso surrounded by the chain’s famous “Hooters girls,” who serenaded him before presenting him with a cake and a cap signed by the staff in recognition of his 22 years of military service.

“I’ve never seen him cry, and we saw him cry there. The tears just came rolling down,” Cerezo’s niece Josie Ramirez told DailyMail.com about the Jan. 5 celebration.
