Meet Owen....Owen was stationed under the Eiffel Tower (literally!) during his service in the Army Air Force during WWII. He was commissioned to paint nose art on many planes, including Doc, one of the only two B-29 bomber planes still flying today. He is truly an amazing man.
His 101st birthday party was canceled because of the impact of the Coronavirus. Please share and comment to help us make his upcoming birthday special. Please leave him a message here and they promise hell get it at his assisted living facility.
Take 60 seconds and do it for Owen!

I just added my wish that he gets to celebrate 102 in person next year.

It really should be on twitter for more general exposure.
