Neighbors waved and left balloons on Mr. Emanuel Wilson's mailbox. Marietta Police dropped by with birthday wishes for the military veteran.
But for the most part, it was quieter than in past years. Still Monday afternoon Wilson was cracking jokes, dancing a little and singing, which he says is his favorite thing to do. "I love to sing, acapella, no music," Wilson told FOX 5.
