Loren Wade has been working at Walmart since 1983, and on Saturday, the retail giant will celebrate his 103rd birthday with a party in his honor. The World War II veteran is a full-time associate at the Winfield, Kansas store, where he works in the lawn and garden department.
“The company seems to like me and I appreciate it so much if they still let me work,” Wade told a local FOX affiliate. “They are so good to me. It’s a great company”
The party is expected to feature free cake, hot dogs, chips and drinks, according to the Winfield Daily Courier.
