Meet WWII Veteran. PFC - John LoSecco - US Army Air Force. He lives in Sarasota.
He served before the actual Air Force was its own separate branch of the military.
The USAF become an official separate military branch 1947.
The military non-profit Foundation we formed in honor and memory of my Dad, was honored to help grant a few small Wishes for this American Hero and his family, in celebration of his 100th Birthday.
Denis V. Cooper Foundation - Wishes For Heroes, grant wishes for our local military heroes and their families. John's family found our Foundation via social media. https://www.facebook.com/WishesForHeroes
Check out more pictures of this Hero's big day below....:
This Hero just turned 100 Years Old. We were humbled to be a very small part of this Hero’s big day organized by his loving family.
His family did not ask for much… but we were able to grant a few Wishes for him, all thanks to your incredible support of our mission!
We had a custom made shadow box showcasing his military memorabilia made for John.
We also got a flag display case for a flag he was given that was flown over the US Capital, in honor of his 100th birthday.
We also found his WWII 8th Air Force unit Hat.
Lastly, he wanted a flagpole installed at his Sarasota home. Yes he still lives at home. He gets visits from caretakers and family several days a week.
We will be installing his flagpole we bought from a veteran owned company sometime in the next month.
To all of those who support the Foundation, we formed in memory of my Dad... Thank you for letting us grant #WishesForHeroes
