A World War II and Korean War veteran who received a Purple Heart celebrated his 101st birthday at Hooters — and has vowed to return there every year until he dies.
Harry Perez Cerezo, a retiree from Texas, was joined by his family, friends, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization when he rang in his milestone birthday at the chain's El Paso location on January 5.
The centenarian was serenaded by the Hooters girls and gifted a signed Hooters hat
'I have never seen him cry, and we saw him cry there. His tears just came rolling down,'
Harry was not even 18 when he joined the U.S. Armed Forces using his mother's maiden name, and shortly after, he married his late wife, Bibiana Perez.
He served in World War II and then the Korean War, during which he was shot in the back. Instead of being sent home, he was required to return to service after he recovered.
Josie explained that her uncle doesn't like to talk about the wars because he gets teary-eyed thinking about the 'goodie buddies' he lost.
After serving in the military for 22 years, he was awarded the Purple Heart, an honor given to those wounded or killed while in service.
Harry worked in the post office until he retired, and he has been living by himself in El Paso since his wife passed away in 2018.
He had never heard of Hooters until last year — when Josie and her husband, Victor Ramirez, 65, took him to the restaurant for his 100th birthday.
When they asked what he wanted to do for his milestone birthday, he thought of his days as a G.I. and joked that he wanted them to take him somewhere to see 'some behind

Salute, Sir.
I was really disappointed when they finally opened a hooters in Boston . The women were “okay” and the food too expensive for what you get
Harry waited an awful long time to get started. Free wings, though. Might have to stand on a chair with balloons under his shirt. No clue on how I know all this.

It could be worse. Here’s an old Soviet Union joke:
A strip club for foreign tourists is opened in Moscow. But it fails miserably. Stalin is enraged, and calls in the manager.
Stalin: Why did that club fail? Was it the drinks?
Manager: No, Comrade Stalin. We served only the best vodka.
Stalin: Was it the food?
Manager: No, Comrade Stalin. We served only the finest caviar.
Stalin: Then it had to be the dancers.
Manager: No, Comrade Stalin. We hired only the most reliable dancers. They were all party members for at least 50 years.

Russian joke:
Man, holding a goat under his arm, says “see, this is pig I must have sex with.”
Wife says, “Idiot, that is goat!”
Man - “Was talking to goat.”
“and joked that he wanted them to take him somewhere to see ‘some behind.”
Yep. He’s a veteran alright.

At his age, food tastes like nuthin, and vision is blurry, so it’s all good to keep his heart rate going. 👍
Ugly women are not decorations.
“In Boston.”
There’s your answer.
There’s one I’ve been going to since I was about seventeen here in the Chicago suburbs, and I’ve never been disappointed. It’s been a while since I’ve gone, though. I spend too much time working.
I sure wouldn’t go to one in Chicago. That’s asking for fat-bottomed broads with unpleasantly thick thighs. You know who I’m talking about.
The place I REALLY miss is The Tilted Kilt.
Yeah I guess he will. I loved when George Burns was asked why he always had young females around him. He said because their skin fits. 🙂
