A World War II veteran from Ohio who is about to turn 100 years old has a unique wish. 

He's hoping to receive 100 cards for his 100th birthday.

Harold Myers, a resident of Mansfield, Ohio, is wishing for the birthday cards in time for his actual 100th birthday, on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.

"I never thought I would reach 100 years old, but know that God has blessed me with good health and happiness," Myers told Fox News Digital.

One of his grandchildren, Dan Smith — who noticed Myers had a deep appreciation for birthday cards — suggested this fun birthday wish to him. 

"The idea came to me a couple of years ago," Smith told Fox News Digital.

"He got a lot of joy about his cards for his 98th birthday from friends and family," Smith said.

Seeing his grandfather’s face light up whenever he read a card made Smith think of how "fun it would be" to collect cards from fellow Americans and citizens of the world.

"My grandfather is a people person and never met a stranger," Smith said.

"I knew that if this worked, it would be one of the best gifts I could give him for his birthday … [He has] sacrificed so much for his family."

The Myers and Smith families are also putting together a birthday party for the retired salesman in early June. 

About 150 guests have RSVP’d already for the event.

Myers happens to be celebrating another milestone as well — with his wife Margaret. 

The pair reached their 72nd wedding anniversary on Saturday, May 28.
