Mineola Resident Celebrates 100th Birthday BY ANTHONY MURRAY

t is a milestone birthday and the Village of Mineola made sure that it was one to remember for World War II veteran sergeant and Mineola resident Anthony Catalano with a special car parade last weekend. During World War II, Catalano served in General Patton’s famed 3rd Army. Over the years, Catalano has shared many stories of his time overseas with one of them being when he and his men were trapped in four feet of snow in the forests of France. With no way to get out and no way for supplies to get to them, Catalano and his men suffered in sub-freezing temperatures. They even had to scrape snow into their canteens to try and melt it for water in order to survive. Catalano even had to wake his men every two and a half hours to prevent them from freezing to death.
