Kentucky veteran asks for 99 birthday cards ahead of 99th birthday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Ahead of his 99th birthday, a Kentucky veteran who served in World War II has a wish to get 99 birthday cards.

WDRB reported on Oct. 7 that Glenn Glenn “Sonny” Fisher operated a 40 millimeter anti-aircraft gun with the 9th Army across Europe. When Fisher got to Utah Beach in France in September 1944, he crossed into Belgium, Luxembourg, and finally Germany, where he met the Russians at the Elbe River.

Honor Flight Bluegrass and the KILROY vintage military organization are teaming up with the Bedford Volunteer Fire Department, which Fisher helped found, to celebrate him.

LATEST KENTUCKY NEWS:

The public is invited to a party from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Bedford Volunteer Fire Department located at 23 Church Street in Bedford. Stop by and shake Fisher’s hand and see the vintage military vehicles on display at the adjoining Bedford Loan and Deposit Bank.
