From his humble beginnings on a cold December day on a farm without electricity or running water to the shores of Omaha Beach, the spirit of 98-year-old Jake Larson comes to life. Jake invites you inside his unique world, beginning with the harsh realities of daily farm life during The Depression. His loving mother and arms-length father were forced to sell moonshine to subsidize their meager farming profits. He traces his childhood years to high school as the only graduate in the family. Jake outlines his time in the service during The Second World War. From lying about his age at 15 enlisting in the National Guard, to his rare experience moving ranks from the lowest infantry soldier to G3 V Corps. He recalls how he escapes near-death experiences showing us what his daily existence was like and why he is indeed the luckiest man in the world. His story further follows his after-war life and “luck” situations bringing him to the love of his life Lola, moving to California, starting a family, and finding his dream home of today. Jake recalls his medical miracles, from a fall that miraculously removes his 50-year posttraumatic stress disorder shakes, and an operation that eradicates his color-blindness. He chronicles his retirement life to his trips returning overseas for the 75th Anniversaries of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Jake brings us to the present day with how during a pandemic he became a TikTok sensation, sharing his stories to people around the world. His inspiring story, written in a simple, no-nonsense manner infused with humor and honestly, will captivate you with his sincerity and sense of appreciation for all his blessings. Jake’s subtle sense of self defines him and causes him to stand out as an extraordinary ordinary man.
