Three WWII Veterans from Maine are all celebrating birthdays over 100 years old this March, and their friend and fellow veteran Joy Lewis Asuncion took to Facebook to request birthday cards to help these gentlemen mark this momentous milestone in their lives.
U.S. Army Veteran Armand Martin is celebrating his 105th birthday, U.S. Coast Guard Veteran Edgar Post is celebrating his 103rd birthday and U.S. Army Air Corps Veteran Charles Whitney is celebrating his 101st birthday.
