Send a birthday card to a Tuskegee Airman turning 100

CRANSTON, R.I. — Retired Sergeant Victor Butler is one of the few members of the Tuskegee Airmen who is still living, according to WUSA9.

The Tuskegee Airmen were Black military pilots and airmen during World War II.

Butler has awards, coins, photos and more documenting his accomplishments, but he’s looking for one more thing as he gets ready to celebrate his 100th birthday on May 21: birthday cards.

“I’ll read every one of them,” Butler said.

You can send him a card at this address:

Victor W. Butler, Care of Gary Butler

P.O. Box 3523

Cranston, R.I. 02910
