MASSILLON, OHIO: Donald Trump delivered a heartfelt birthday message to 104-year-old World War II veteran Denver Moore after the Ohio resident’s TikTok invitation to the president went viral earlier this year.

Moore, a lifelong Trump supporter, captured hearts in March when he posted a video inviting Trump to attend his birthday party in Canal Fulton.

“President Trump... I’m gonna be 104 in May, and I’m inviting you to my birthday party,” he said in the clip, which has since garnered nearly 890,000 views.

While Trump couldn’t attend in person due to ongoing international engagements, he made sure Moore’s milestone didn’t go unnoticed, reports Fox News.

In the recorded message, Trump praised Moore’s military service and unwavering support saying, “Hi, Denver! I want to wish you a very happy 104th birthday from your all-time favorite president. That’s me, Donald Trump,” he said with a smile.

“I'm sorry we weren't able to get to your party. I would love to get to your party, but I'm working on Russia, Ukraine, China, and all sorts of other places, and I know you want us to do well.”

He went on, “But I want just to thank you for your incredible service to our nation and for your support for making America great again. A very, very special man you are, and happy birthday.”

The message was played for Moore at Danbury Senior Living in Massillon, Ohio, where he lives.

The video, which Moore watched surrounded by friends and staff, left the veteran smiling. “Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy,” he joked after watching the clip.

Trump is nearing the end of a fast-paced and historic trip through the Middle East. On Thursday, May 16, he touched down in the United Arab Emirates marking the first visit by a US president to the country in almost two decades.

“President Trump and his team went above and beyond, recording a special video message just for him,” Rulli said. “I am incredibly grateful to the compassionate team at Danbury Senior Living, who worked hand in hand with my office to ensure Mr. Moore's birthday was truly unforgettable. His life and service are a testament to the spirit of our nation, and I’m proud we could celebrate him in such a meaningful way.”
