I hope you had a great 4th of July!
As many of you saw on my Facebook post last week, DT Measells had an amazing 100th Birthday! He received over 1,100 cards from all of YOU! THANK YOU to all who took the time to send a card! Scroll down for a recap and photo of DT, his wife Imo, and ALL of his birthday cards.
Now here is your next mission:
WWII and Korean War Veteran Ed Hyatt has a BIG birthday coming up ... and YOU are invited to send him a card! His family is having a party for him on August 7th, and they will give him all the cards on that day. You've got about a month to work on this one!
About Ed:
Ed grew up in Louisiana and graduated from LSU. He joined the Army in 1944 and was the artillery officer of the 43rd Tank Battalion which was part of Patton's Seventh Army. Ed made it home in January of 1946, and went into the Army Reserves. In 1950, he was recalled to serve stateside as a communications instructor during the Korean War. He served until 1953.
After the wars, Ed worked for Borden Milk Company and became the assistant controller for their division in Houston, TX. Ed was married to his wife Marie for 69 years. She passed in 2013. He now lives in Orange, TX near his daughter and son-in-law.
Please send your cards by August 5th. Just like all missions, don't keep this to yourself!! Know of students, friends, family, neighbors, co-workers who you think would like to participate? Share away! Let's flood his day with gratitude and love and make this his best year yet! Their birthday party theme is 100 years and counting!! 🇺🇸🎁
