Family, friends, neighbors, and members from the Tucson community participated in a car parade for World War II Veteran Manuel Cady's 95th birthday. Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), Cady's family couldn't host a birthday party but chose to have the car parade instead.
"It was beautiful," said Cady, while talking with family after the parade.
Those who participated were the American Legion Riders, Tucson Airport Authority, Tucson Police Department, Alma Motorcycle Club, Leyva Rides car club, C3 Tucson Car Club and Combat Veteran Motorcycle Association.
