This flyer was found posted on the wall of a Kiwk-e-Mart. A fellow anon took a picture and posted it online and 4chan sends hundreds of cards for William. Hope he has a good 90th!

For those who can't read the tiny text.

forgive my stupidity for saving the thumbnail.

I really hope he wasn't sent a whole bunch of stupid /b/ shit as well. I'm going to believe in the human spirit though and just assume that it went well.

>went well
it's two days from now. I believe in humanity enough to believe that it's going to be all good.

>>271074
I believe that it will be mostly good and a few subscriptions to bad magazines.

That...is the most heartwarming thing I've seen all week.
Way to go, /b/.

>>271074
Whether you like to believe it or not, /b/ is still /b/ and there's going to be some assholes who will probably send him goatse or something stupid. But I think the good will outweigh the bad in this situation for the guy and he'll remember the amount of people who cared from all over the country rather more than the dipshits who send him a picture of a man spreading his asshole open.

That's not too far from here. What to bring?

>>271081
cake sounds like a good Idea.

Google maps says he lives near fort Devens. maybe someone should inform them that a veteran is lonely on his birthday.

I'm sending him a card with kittens on it

This is sweet.

>>271085
How do we know he's a veteran?

>>271120

Fact: All old people have fought in at least one war.

>>271120
Look at the picture
>Ashburnham American Legion

The American Legion is a veterans organization.

Also /toy/ looked him up, he served in WWII was a Private and was in for the entirety of the American Part of the Conflict and from what I can tell severed a similar function as my late grandfather It'll be 9 years Sept 13 since his passing..anyway /toy/ is sending Amazon gift cards and old figures.

This is probably one of the rarer times that /b/ actually does something awesome these days.

Sending him my best wishes for sure.

It's nice to see that the Internet has a heart, though I think this may have been blown out of proportion:

>Kind folks of reddit, My family and I appreciate the outpouring of love and generosity. There has been a large misunderstanding. The poster which I'm told was found at the Gardner Stop & Shop was more a local notice for people that know him. It was in no way to indicate that he is alone. He has 7 children, many grandchildren, and even great grandchildren. In his younger years he was a foster parent to dozens of foster children. He is well liked in the community, and will be fully supported on his 90th birthday. I ask that if you don't know him, to not attend the party, as it is for his friends and family. The venue for the party is a very small hall, and will be full to capacity with people he knows and loves.
>By all means, send cards and well wishes, but please refrain from sending gifts/strippers/cakes/candies/etc. and instead please make a donation in his name to a local vetrans charity.
>Thank you again for all the love and well wishes, we certainly never expected this. You are awesome reddit, now please help me spread the word to other outlets and make sure this is a smaller, enjoyable party for him.

>>271172
:3
oops.

>Find out he's even more awesome.

o wow

At the risk of being a killjoy buzzkill, I think this is excessive. Other veterans will feel left out, the old guy if a technophobe might wonder just how much of what he does is being viewed by the internet, annd.. well, that's about it.
It's a good sentiment and all, but...

>>271178
It's /b/. Count your blessings.

>>271178
>Other veterans will feel left out
>>One person can't get nice things if other people don't

Go away, communist.

>>271180
It's /b/. I expect them to fuck it up and prove this is why we can't have nice things.
>>271185
;.;

>>271188
This picture is you.

>>271073
Quite a few /b/ faggots are talking about sending him used condoms and trash.

>>271193

trash makes sense but where are /b/tards gonna get used condoms when they don't even have contact with women?!

>>271199
The use doesn't have to be conventional. It just has to be a condom. :X

hh, it's better then nothing.

I don't jump on /b/ shit, really. Stupid shit like that Operation Lioncash just makes me mad. It was unfunny and retarded.

But this, I did. I just have a soft spot for veterans. Whether they fought in Europe or the Pacific, the hills of Korea, or slugged it out in the absolute bullshit of Vietnam, I'd give them free rides if my aircraft weren't common as muck.

>>271700
There is that smile on his face I was wishing to see.
Yaaaayyyy

Awwww. He had a good one.

>>271884


HA HA HA!!!!! BOOYAA!!!!

lucky bastard
