ST. PETERSBURG, Fla — Four Tampa Bay area World War II veterans were honored with a drive-thru birthday parade this week and now organizers are looking for a way to keep the celebration going.
Honor Flight of West Central Florida is asking for the public to take a moment and send some birthday cards their way.
"We are certain they would love to open their mailboxes and see lots of love and well wishes from their Honor Flight family," the organization wrote on Facebook.
To make sure your birthday wishes make it to the American heroes you'll need to mail them to each respective veteran.
Here's a little more on each of the “WWII Birthday Heroes."
