WWII vet Thomas Copeland celebrates 100th birthday
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Thousands of miles away from his family, Tom Copeland had no reason to celebrate his 21st birthday. German troops were trying to kill him.
“I do believe he is a big representation of the greatest generation that we have experienced,” O’Ryan said. “I had so many of my contemporaries that would say to me, ‘Oh Copeland, we don’t need all of these computers, I have a secretary and an IBM Selectric. I don’t need all of that stuff and I don’t want to study and find out how it works.’ I said you are going to be 20 years behind in two years if you don’t keep up,” Copeland said.
“You guys here in Arizona have a real piece of artwork,” Copeland said, referring to the Phoenix metro highway system.
