Star Spangled Salute: A $30 Million Dollar WWII Veteran

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors an ally, 99-year old World War II Veteran Tom Moore of Great Britain.  I first introduced you to Tom a couple of weeks ago when he began his campaign to walk 100 laps in his garden, 10 laps a day, before his 100th birthday.  When he started, he did it with hopes of raising a few thousand dollars for Britain’s healthcare workers on the front lines of the pandemic.  When I first checked in with Tom he was approaching $11 million dollars.  To date, he has hit the $30 million dollar mark and for his birthday has received over 125,000 birthday cards from people all over the world. Thank you Tom for your passionate, determined spirit and thank you for your service. Happy Birthday.
