Amy Passaretti / The Outlook David Ladewig provided some celebratory tunes outside the courtyard for Harris’ 100th birthday party.
Tuesday, Bill Nichols State Veterans Home resident Sara Harris reached a major milestone by celebrating her 100th birthday. The retired Lt. Col. Harris is no stranger to significant life events as she was the first female base commander in a combat zone in Vietnam while serving in the U.S. Air Force.
“She is a spitfire,” Bill Nichols director of recreational services Shonda Young said. “Even at 100 years old, she is just a spunky spitfire.”
