This photo was taken at a 7-Eleven. It basically says it all. He's a World War II veteran, turning 90 years old, and lonely. If you can't make it to his birthday, please at least send him a card to show your thanks. If it weren't for veterans like him, you would have no internet, and for all you know, that flag we pledge to could have a Swastika on it.
Here's his info:
William J Lashua
c/o Ashburnham American Legion
132 Williams, RD
Ashburnham, MA 01430
I'm not one who really thinks about things like this, but when I saw this photo, I became really, really sad. We need to treat our veterans better. Let this be the first step. Nearly a thousand others are already jumping in to help.
