Joe Filko, a World War II veteran, turned 103 years old on Thursday. Filko, who served in the Marine Corps, celebrated his birthday with his fellow veterans at a local veterans’ home. Filko’s family and friends were unable to attend the celebration due to travel restrictions.

Filko, it wasn’t just about the number of push-ups. It was about the power of the mind. He believed that the mind could control the body, and he lived by that belief. He was a firm believer in the power of positive thinking, and he attributed his incredible strength and vitality to his mental fortitude. Mr. Filko’s story is a testament to the power of the mind.
