Plymouth Township Police Celebrate World War II Veteran's 100th Birthday With Parade
PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) - Police are celebrating the 100th birthday of a World War II veteran - all while practicing social distancing. A caravan of Plymouth Township police vehicles and other first responders paraded through Dan Paciello's neighborhood on Wednesday.
Police had their lights flashing and sirens on as Paciello watched safely from inside his home.
Paciello served in the United States Air Force in the 1940s and fought in several battles during World War II.
Plymouth police wanted to thank him for his service to his country.
"We just want to ride by and let him know he's not forgotten and what he's done in his life is important to us and we care about him," Plymouth Township Police Lt. Doug Copesick said. "Hopefully, we can bring a little joy to him on his 100th birthday because he deserves it."
Last month, Paciello was honored at the Plymouth Township council meeting.
All of us at CBS3 want to recognize him and say happy birthday! We hope you enjoy your day and we thank you for your service to our country.
