Meet the WWII veteran who's going for his UNC degree at 100 years old


UNC alumnus Littleton Cole Selden is approaching his 100th birthday, but this milestone alone does not capture his many accomplishments. Just months before his graduation and the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, L.C. Selden decided to join the U.S. Army Air Corps. L.C. Selden, born in Jackson, NC, in 1920, arrived at UNC as a pre-pharmacy student. (Daily Tar Heel)
