James South is turning 100 on October 7. The World War ll veteran, who lives in a retirement home near Dallas, Texas, has a special request for his birthday: he hopes to receive 100 birthday cards for his 100th birthday.
“It would give me a feeling that I am recognized for what I do, what I am. And I would cherish it forever,” South says in an interview on WFAA in Dallas.
The retirement home that South resides at posted a photo of him holding a sign asking for the birthday cards. The sign read: “Hello! My name is James South and I am a proud World War II Veteran! I will be turning 100 on October 7th, 2019 and I would like to receive 100 birthday cards.”
