The chances of being married 75 years is .00167. He is 96 and a WW II vet. Mom is 95. Before you get to congratulatory, Dad is an Ole Miss fan, but all his sons have degrees from MSU. The sins of the father are not being passed on.
OT: My folks married 75 years today

Married 75 years, 96 years old, and a WW II vet--think your dad gets a pass for being an Ole Miss fan! Congratulations to your dad, mom, you, and your family on this incredible milestone!
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the longest marriage in Mississippi history.
I also found this article while trying to research longest marriage in MS history: https://nypost.com/2023/02/02/im-24-and-my-husband-is-85-we-want-to-start-a-family/amp/

Made it through WWII and married 75 years. Thats amazing. Congrats to them both!
Sounds like dad made some great decisions in his life. Going to OM was just not one of them. But are any of us really batting 1.000???

He should be proud for surviving such a monumental challenge of bravery and dedication....and WWII.
My Parents made it 68 years before my Dad passed. My wife’s parents also made it 68 year’s before her Dad passed. My wife and I will be 47 years in May. That gives us some perspective on how unlikely it is for a couple to survive 75 years together. Your family has been very blessed.
That man survived WWII and 3,900 weeks of marriage?
You should have him pick your Powerball numbers.
Congratulations to them ! The longer I live the more I understand why they were called "The Greatest Generation".
