I don't know how real this is, but I got linked to this:
Apprently he's a former WW2 vet who lost all/most of his family so the local legion is trying to give him this crazy birthday (party). I guess this is starting to go viral and people are sending him cakes, cards, presents and all this other stuff, and people are encouraged to go to his party. His party isn't that far:
William J Lashua
c/o Ashburnham American Legion
132 Williams, RD
Ashburnham, MA 01430
Does anyone else know more about this? Would be pretty cool if it was real and some of us showed up for it.
