Someone posted a picture of a wanted sign asking for birthday party attendees.
The party is being organized by the Ashburnham American Legion for William J. Lashua, a 90 year old WWII veteran.
Well the picture of the want ad has spread like wild fire on the internet, and on forums all over people are inspired to send birthday cards to him. Many more people who live near by have proclaimed their intentions to show up to this man's party.
If you Google his name the first result is a Facebook page for his birthday. If you can believe the words of people on the internet, then this man shall be receiving hundreds, or perhaps thousands of cards from people all over the world, and dozens of people showing up in person to wish him well.
In a time of new stories about the internet allowing people to bully, stalk, and scam people, a story about the internet allowing people to band together and make a man's birthday a happy one is enlightening.
