LAKEWOOD, Calif - The mayor of Lakewood is calling on the public to send birthday cards to a World War II veteran whose planned 105th birthday celebration later this month has been thwarted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Sam Sachs' senior living home in Lakewood was "planning a fancy 105th birthday celebration for him, but the party now has to be re-imagined because of the coronavirus and the dangers of bringing people together for a gathering,'' Mayor Todd Rogers said in a video message. "Because of this, I'dlike to ask that we all consider helping with this redesigned 105th birthday party for Sam by writing him a birthday card.'' The cards can be sent to: Mom and Dad's House, c/o Lt.
