A World War II veteran is about to hit a milestone birthday and has asked for the public’s help in receiving 100 birthday cards.

Joe Cuba's picture went viral this week after he was pictured holding a sign asking for 100 cards.

The sign read: “I’m a WWII veteran who will be turning 100 on March 2, 2019. I would like to receive 100 birthday cards.”

Cuba also included his address at the Brookdale Midwestern retirement community in Wichita Falls, Texas.
