Frank W Buckles, 1901-2011. Sounds like he was a good-natured, amiable sort who did not take his status as the last remaining US WWI veteran as being anything except a testament to his longevity… and as an opportunity to push for refurbishing and rededicating DC’s WWI memorial as a national one.
Odd that I had a WWI song up yesterday, too.
Soon the world won’t have any heroes, anymore.
