90-year-old Florida veteran gets birthday surprise from deputies

While social distancing guidelines are in place, birthday celebrations have turned into special parades.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Birthday parties might not be happening right now, but a new trend is birthday parades!

Robert "Bob" Glenn Weaver, a Navy Korean War Veteran, celebrated his 90 birthday this week.

Since his family and friends could not celebrate with him in person, the Lee County Sheriff's Office decided on a parade for the milestone birthday.

The sheriff's office loaded up their patrol cars and set out on a parade past Bob's house.

Lights, sirens, and balloons filled the street in front of his house as they all wished him a happy birthday.

Bob's reaction? A huge smile.
