If you're going to do one thing with your day, please let it be this.

World War II Veteran, James South of Watauga, Texas, is turning 100 on October 7th and he is requesting your help celebrating.


James's story has gone viral after the facility posted a picture of the veteran posing with a large sign asking for 100 birthday cards for his birthday.

James's decision to ask for cards as presents started while he was serving in WWII, when his girlfriend, who eventually became his wife of 55 years, wrote him every day.

Within the last 24 hours, this story has gone BEYOND viral, assuring that James will most definitely receive those 100 birthday cards, but that doesn't mean we as Pittsburghers should participate in it too!

Let's show James some birthday love and show him how much Pittsburgh loves our veterans!
