Valentine's Day cards started pouring in for William White after a fellow resident made a social media campaign asking people to send greetings to honor the 104-year-old Marine Corps veteran
STOCKTON, Calif. - William White, a 104-year-old U.S. Marine veteran who earned a Purple Heart in World War Two, is celebrating Valentine’s Day this year like never before, surrounded by a mountain of 70,000 love letters and well-wishes sent from all over the world.
“It’s just too fantastic,” said White, surrounded by waist-high stacks of postal boxes filled with cards. So much mail has been delivered that White’s family has had to enlist volunteers to help open the cards and read the warm wishes to White, who retired after 35 years of active service, including time in the Pacific theater of WWII, when he was wounded at Iwo Jima.
