Shendy Henderson, one of Rambo’s grandparents, says she has not yet been able to hold him because of the social distancing measures in place amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Monrovia Fire Department’s trucks showed up on the scene to participate in the celebration after Henderson asked them to join in.
