Bill Jamerson of Carson City, Nevada, celebrated his 100th birthday earlier this month with family and friends. Family members gave speeches about his life's accomplishments, and he was given a pin from a general in the Army. Bill Jamerson is one of the few living veterans who served in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. He is a highly decorated combat medic who devoted his life to others after his military service. Bill and his wife June also hold the record for being the longest living married couple in Nevada history. They have been married for 77 years.
