Mr Lawrence. Brooks, America’s oldest living WWII et. Now and then–still looks about the same
This year, the birthday celebration of America’s oldest living WWII veteran Lawrence Brooks will look a little different. With the global pandemic, we must forgo our traditional get together in favor of some socially distanced fun. Mr. Brooks, a New Orleans native, will turn 111 this year, and we are asking everyone to send in birthday cards to the Museum so that we can deliver them to his home.

Thanks, DC.
My pleasure, Pat.
Thanks, DC. I saw this over at Pat’s blog and copied the address. I read that article about him too, I hate the thought of losing all these fantastic people!
It is sad, and sadly, inevitable. Hopefully a few folks in these younger generations will be able to step up and fill their shoes.
I know there will be, but the operative word is “few” I’m afraid.
Unfortunately, I think you are right. I hope, though, that we are both wrong.
There’s hope. 3 Silver Stars were given out this week.
A good sign.
Done!
Awesome!
What a great way to pay tribute to such a fine man and veteran! My card is on the way! Thanks for sharing this, Mr. G!
Thanks, Brad, for sending the card.
