A Louisiana man considered the oldest living American World War II veteran just celebrated his 110th birthday — with a party where he was serenaded and showered with kisses, according to a report.

Lawrence Brooks, born on Sept. 12, 1909, served in the Army from 1940 to 1945 as part of the predominantly African-American 91st Engineer Battalion. He was stationed in New Guinea followed by the Philippines, and rose to the rank of private 1st class during the war.

For the past five years, the National WWII Museum in New Orleans has honored Brooks with a party, and this year’s celebration was held Thursday morning, NOLA.com reported.

“We absolutely love Mr. Brooks,” museum vice president Peter Crean told the outlet. “We’ve told him, ‘As long as you keep having birthdays, we are going to keep having birthday parties for you here.’ We consider him ‘our veteran.’ ”

Brooks’ favorite part of the celebrations, he says, is all the attention — and kisses — he gets from the museum’s vocal trio, the Victory Belles. Photos from the event show him with a bright red lipstick kiss on his cheek.

“I do like the Victory Belles,” he told the paper. “They’re sweet girls.”

Brooks is blind in his right eye and his vision is failing in his left, but his hearing is remarkable and he’s never had heart problems, cancer or any other major illness — aside from low blood pressure and dehydration, his daughter, Vanessa Brooks, told the paper.

“He sleeps later than he used to, and he has more pain because of his hip,” Vanessa Brooks said. “But he likes to eat and loves to get out and see people.”

He was widowed in 2005 when his second wife, Leona, died shortly after the couple was evacuated in a helicopter in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Vanessa, 59, is getting married in December, and her centenarian dad says he will walk her down the aisle using his “third leg” — his name for his walker.

“I’ve started to think about not having many birthdays left,” he told the paper. “But I’m not worried about it, because God has let me live this long already. I think it’s because I’ve always liked people so much. Oh yes, I do.”

Brooks inherited the title of the oldest living World War II veteran in the country following the December death of Richard Overton of Austin, Texas, who was 112.

“That makes me feel good,” Brooks told the paper. “Yes, indeed it does.”

The only older living veteran is Gustav Gerneth, 113, of Germany, who survived being a Russian prisoner of war, according to the report.
