Jack Becker is a Korean War and WWII vet. He is also in great shape and living life to the fullest at the age of 100. Clearly, Jack is a survivor. Having made it through harrowing battles and reaching his centennial birthday, Becker has shown that he won’t let anything slow him down.

He fought through The Battle of Chosin Reservoir making him one of the few surviving members of this brutal moment in the Korean War. Having lived through this, Jack shows not only his strength but his character.
