As America turns 250, 104-year-old veteran Caster Salemi looks back

By: Geena Monahan

This July, the United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary and North Attleborough’s Caster Salemi has been alive for 104 of those years. On a June morning in his Metcalf Circle living room, Salemi flipped through an album his children created after digitizing decades of family and military photographs.

Around him sat reminders of his service — wartime images, military memorabilia and even a bottle of Salemi wine he opened to mark his 100th birthday. Later that day, he planned to attend his weekly trivia game at the North Attleborough Senior Center before joining fellow members of the Italian American War Veterans of the United States Providence branch for dinner in Rhode Island.
