WWII vet marks 102nd birthday and plans for his long-awaited bar mitzvah: ‘The best is yet to come'
A World War II veteran rang in his 102nd birthday surrounded by loved ones in Florida — but said 'the best is yet to come' as he sets out to cross off his bucket-list goals, including a long-awaited bar mitzvah. New York City native Harold Terens was overcome with love and gratitude Saturday morning as he celebrated another year of life with dozens of friends and family, among them his second wife, three children, eight grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren, at a hotel in Delray Beach. 'Best day of my life, believe it or not, and I've had so many,' Terens told The Post, adding he felt his beloved first wife, Thelma, with whom he was married for 70 years, was there in spirit. Advertisement 6 WWII veteran Harold Terens celebrated his 102nd birthday with family and friends Saturday. AP 'I thought my wedding last year in Normandy was the best day of my life, but I think today topped it. And believe me, the best is yet to come. You ain't seen nothing yet.' While the centenarian spent his birthday brunch mambo dancing with his 97-year-old sweetheart, Jeanne, and being serenaded by his a cappella-singing granddaughter, he is already looking ahead to how he'll make the most of his milestone year. Advertisement 6 Terens said it was the best day of his life. AP Some of those bucket list items include a 10-day transatlantic trip, where the 'ballet buff' plans to take in the opera in Milan, catch a ballet in Paris, and head to the United Kingdom to hear the London Philharmonic. The lively senior then intends to mark his 103rd birthday with a bar mitzvah ceremony at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, next summer – a major achievement he was denied as a child. 'My mother is from Poland and my father is from Russia,' he said. Advertisement 6 He's now looking to the future, where he will celebrate his bar mitzvah at the age of 103. AP 'My mother was religious. My father was anti-religion, and they had two sons and they agreed that my older brother would be bar mitzvahed and then I would not, [to] pacify my father.' Next year's momentous occasion took shape after Terens was speaking on a panel with CNN's Wolf Blitzer and a Pentagon rabbi overheard him mention his lifelong wish to have a bar mitzvah. 'That is definitely on my bucket list and that is truly going to happen,' he joyfully said, noting that 80 of his closest friends and family members have already been added to the guest list. Advertisement 6 Telens and his second wife, Jeanne, who he wed in Normandy last June. AP 'It will be a sensational event. My entire family will be there along with friends. They'll all come. No one will miss that event.' Terens enlisted in 1942 and was sent to Great Britain the following year, serving as a radio repair technician for a four-pilot P-47 Thunderbolt fighter squadron. All his original pilots died in the war. On D-Day — where more than 150,000 Allied troops invaded five Nazi Germany-occluded beaches in Normandy on June 6, 1944 — he aided in repairing planes coming back from France, with half his company's pilots perishing that day. He has since returned to the fateful spot several times, including in 2024 when he was honored by the French for his service, to mark pivotal anniversaries and to wed his new love. 6 Terens enlisted in 1942 and aided in repairing planes on D-Day.

'I have friends there that I long to see and that gives me a great deal of pleasure. But going with the veterans is very, very special. I've had some very memorable moments in Normandy.' Advertisement Terens, who has met five US presidents, including George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, said the secret to his longevity and drive is simple: minimize stress. 6 He plans to return to Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of the historic day of liberation. AFP via Getty Images But reflecting on his long life, the Lake Worth resident considers himself the luckiest man alive. Advertisement 'I think I'm the richest guy in the world and I don't have any money in the bank,' Terens boasted. 'I wouldn't trade my life with anyone in the world no matter who it was. I am happy just who I am and with what I have. I think I have more than anyone else in the world. I am the luckiest guy that God ever created. When I say the best is yet to come, I don't know what it is but it's there. I promise you.'

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. @allliyoung/TikTok Young, who described her husband as a "huge LEGO collector since he was a kid," shared that Brett boasts a collection of around 150,000 pieces. The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."
