Navy World War II veteran Jerry Miller Smith and his daughter, Beverly, cut a large birthday cake in honor of Smith's 100th at the North Carolina Executive Mansion in Raleigh, N.C., Aug. 27, 2013. Smith was honored by N.C. Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, Rear Adm. Douglas Morton, commander of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, Cmdr. Ron Ross, commanding officer of the Navy Recruiting District of Raleigh, Army Maj. Gen. Greg Lusk, adjutant general of N.C, and other representatives.
