WWII veteran becomes viral sensation thanks to Gen-Z neighbor

This vet went viral. A 98-year-old World War II and Korean War veteran has become a social media star, with fans around the world saluting him for his service — thanks to a 26-year-old neighbor. Ross Longo, of Lake Placid, Fla., has lived next door to Sevastian Munguia-Barajas and his parents for over 20 years, and since he does not have any relatives nearby, they welcomed him into their family.

“They adopted me, and I adopted them,” Longo told The Post. “I consider him my grandpa, honestly,” added Munguia-Barajas, whose family moved Longo into their home last month. The friendship went viral last year when Munguia-Barajas launched the TikTok and Instagram account @your98yearoldvet to document and share their everyday adventures.
