veteran celebrated his 101st birthday in Yonkers.
Alex Strohmayer was
born in Vienna, Austria in 1920 and came to Ellis Island with his
family when he was 8 years old.

about automobiles. From there, he set his sights on becoming an aviator.
He completed over 35
missions over Europe as an ace B-17 bomber pilot.
