Description
Chief Petty Officer William "Bill" Monfort will celebrate his 108th birthday on Dec. 17.
Monfort lives in a care center in Clearwater, where his nurse Lisa Weaver had the idea a few years ago to collect cards to celebrate his long and impressive life.
Monfort is believed to be the oldest WWII veteran in Florida.
"He was one of the first radiomen to receive the Pearl Harbor attack calls! He is a kamikaze attack survivor," Weaver explained in a Facebook post. "He is the sweetest hero you will ever meet!"
Cards may be sent to Bill Monfort at 3260 McMullen Booth Rd., Clearwater, FL, 33761.
