Additional information on a previous post on WWII veteran, Mr. Recil Troxel.

How great would it be to acknowledge Mr. Troxel's service to this country and remember his birthday by sending him a card or a note beginning now and continuing until at least April 17th.

God blessed Mr. Troxel with 92+ years. Let us help celebrate a life worth living!!

"…Oklahoma World War II veteran will soon celebrate his 93rd birthday, and he has only one birthday wish, to receive birthday cards from anyone, anywhere…"

Recil Troxel’s daughter says he loves getting mail of any kind and sits in his chair watching for the mailman. He doesn't get much mail anymore, but when he does, he gets a great deal of pleasure from such a simple gesture.

Mr. Troxel was born April 17, 1926. Family members said he fought in World War II and served as a combat engineer in the Pacific Theater - Guam, the Philippines and Saipan. When he was discharged from the Army, he returned to Marlow, Oklahoma, where he lives now…"

Letters from home were the lifeline for an enlisted man during WWII…and today, these same veterans who have survived many of their friends and family look forward to contact from others. Let's do this Anons!! Take a few minutes from work and send a birthday card or note to:
