An elderly veteran sits in a quiet room, looking directly into the camera.
Every single morning he goes to that same chair by the window. He keeps a small radio on the table, tuned to a station that plays old songs. People walk past the house and see him there, but nobody knows why he keeps that routine.
Play this video one more time. Watch his face just before he asks his question. You can see the face of one of our retired American veterans. He spent years of his youth enduring the cold and the long nights.
He is one hundred years old today. He has outlived his friends and has no family left. There are no cards on his table and no phone calls coming in.
I watched this clip and I could not let it go. It is too quiet in that room. A man who served his country should not have to ask if anyone will notice his birthday.
Let us make some noise for him today. It takes only a few seconds to type the words. Please write a happy birthday to him. ❤️
