    The 95 candles on this cake don't compare to the last 95 years of Floyd Coleman's life.
    So what makes Floyd Coleman so special, besides the obvious 95 years of living?
    Maybe it's the fact that this World War Two and Korean War veteran enlisted in the army before he was able to legally drive.
    Coleman said, "I lied about my age, my father was with me and he lied too. They didn't have to have birth certificates in those days. They just take your word for it."
