Lolie said her father is “so excited” for his birthday, adding that the majority of Montrose will take part in various planned celebrations.
“He is a very humble man and says that he’s never done anything to deserve all this,” she said. “But he has.”
If you would like to send Ike a birthday card, you can mail it to:

My Michigan resident Father was on that Normandy-bound boat on D-Day, but didn’t get off until the gate lowered and he stepped on Omaha beach under heavy machine-gun fire.
Sent. I hope he gets a million cards.

A call from the President would be really great!!
I hope someone lets him know :)
