Let’s send some very special birthday wishes across the country to Rhode Island!  One special hero is celebrating a special milestone next month, his 100th birthday!  Victor W. Butler is believed to be the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen of Rhode Island. The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of Black military pilots and airmen that made history while fighting in World War II. They broke a lot of barriers and led the way to desegregate in the U.S. Military.

Victor Butler became a mechanic for the Tuskegee Airmen, working on legendary planes during WW II.  He has awards, coins, and so much more documenting his accomplishments.

But he’s looking for one more thing: birthday cards. Victor is turning 100 next month on May 21, and his wish is birthday cards.  He says he’ll read every single one of them!

If you would like to send Butler a birthday card, you can mail it to:

Victor W. Butler
C/O Gary Butler
P.O. box. 3523
Cranston, RI 02910

Let’s send Victor some Birthday honors!!

THANK YOU, VICTOR!!
