95-Year-Old Boise WWII Vet Receiving Hundreds Of Cards

Many think it was the greatest generation for the United States of America and we’re losing a lot of the men and women who served and sacrificed way back in World War II. Fortunately, we still have 95-year-old Don Brown here in Boise, Idaho but it’s NOT just Boise that’s giving him LOVE. The whole world is reaching out in a very BIG way for some very BIG reasons.

Don Brown is receiving hundreds of letters every day from people he’s never met and never even heard of. Happy Birthday and Thank You cards from not only American citizens but from people all around the world.

KTVB reports that WWII Veterans are passing away at the rate of 234 a day. It won’t be long before we no longer have these precious souls. The men and women that could tell stories like no other. They come from more than a different era. They come from a time that most now can only dream of.

We watch movies, read books, and hear the stories but it all seems like a distant time that almost wasn’t real. But it WAS real. If you ask Don, he’ll tell you just how real and how incredible it all was.

Don is a beaming example of one of the Good Guys. A great man who made a great sacrifice and one of the many who allow us to live the way we live now.

We may think we have it bad sometimes. We don’t even know what bad is. Our kids go to school, we eat what and when we want, we go to the movies, fish, travel, we have friends and social time, we work and make more money than this generation could ever dream of. Thank you, Don Brown. God Bless You and Happy Birthday!
