Layla Peck is seven years old and lives near Scranton, Pennsylvania, and her best friend just turned 100. (???) He’s a World War Two vet named Joe Gagliardi. She says they’ve been besties since she was a baby.
She got her local fire department to drop her off at his party in a firetruck. He received an American flag flown in his honor over the U.S. Capitol in D.C. And Layla also had her first-grade class make him 100 birthday cards.
