Woburn WWII Veteran Celebrates 97th Birthday After Tough Year
It was organized by Andrew Biggio, who's hobby is to track down WWII veterans to say thank you, and to share their stories.
WOBURN, MA — The past year might have been the toughest Dominic Freni has had to endure— and he survived WWII.
He turned 97 Thursday, and to celebrate the milestone a group of friends, family, and strangers gathered for a parade past his Woburn nursing home.
It was organized by Andrew Biggio, who’s hobby is to track down WWII veterans to say thank you, and to share their stories. “It’s hard to find a World War II veteran these days,” said Biggio. “So we really try to make the most of having these men and women still with us.”
