Happened on this post at the above site from a friends FB post...

Mario Launi, a WWII veteran who served in the Pacific, will be turning 100 years old on January 26, 2012. He is currently at the Hollidaysburg Lutheran Home, 915 Hickory Street, Hollidaysburg, PA 16648. His family and caregiver have requested the community and all veterans to come together and shower him with cards. So what I am requesting that every patriotic and freedom-loving American in the area join in thanking him for his sacrifices. This will be a small token by letting him know how much we appreciate his selfless and dedicated service.

Thank You so Very Much,

Peggy Lidwell, Ret USA MSG
Service Officer

I figure if it's legit or not... A card couldn't hurt and could certainly help!!!

Darn, I hate to be cynical but how do we know this isn't another dying kid prank?

Did a Google search on Peggy Lidwell -- with hits found back to 2005. She seems to exists as indicated.
