A World War II veteran in Colorado got the celebration of a lifetime Monday as his neighbors, friends and caregivers threw him a party to celebrate his 101st birthday
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Ray Chambers was showered with presents, treats, and praise as the people around him thanked him for his service and years of friendship.“It was really truly a surprise,” Chambers said, smiling. “I was just sitting here in my chair, and people began to walk in.”
“Ray is the most kindest, gentle-hearted guy I think you’ll ever meet,” said neighbor Laura Brown. “He’ll tell stories and paint kind of the best picture of what he went through in his life.” “He’s dodged a lot of bullets, literally, in his life, and I think it’s because he was meant to come and tell his story,” said his caretaker Heather Holmes.
