This man is 98 years old and he is asking us not to scroll past without wishing him a happy birthday.
He lives by himself in a quiet room. No one comes to visit him. He has no friends left.
On his table sits an old photograph from his time in Vietnam, about fifty years ago. He is the only one in that photograph who is still living.
He is not asking for much and he knows it. He does not expect a party. He does not expect gifts. He just wants a few simple words on a screen from people who see him.
Watch the video one more time. Look at his face just before he asks you to stay. You can see the silence of his house in his eyes.
He served his country long ago as one of our American veterans. He endured the heat, the long hours, and the distance of a war. Now his family is gone, and he spends his days alone.
Please do not scroll past him today. Take a second to write a happy birthday in the comments. ❤️
