The parade came together in just a matter of hours after Holly Noble put out a post on Facebook caller her friends and family do something a extra special for the veterans.
“Just in the matter of an hour or two, that they all committed to jump on board and come with us," Noble said. "It just means a ton for us."
Sayers, a Korean War veteran, turned 87 Thursday, along with Rackham, a WWII veteran, who turned 95.
“I can’t believe it. I didn’t know this many people knew me," Sayers said.

“Thrilled, I guess would be the right word. I just couldn’t believe it," Rackham said.
