Here is an article about the last American WWI vet Frank Buckles visiting Washington DC. He is part of a very exclusive club with around 14 surviving WWI Vets, on all sides.

A 107-year-old visiting ANYWHERE is news. Wow is that old. Nice story.

 

Awesome. These people deserve all the respect in the world IMO.

 

Wow what a guy. Lied about his age to join up and sever. That's awesome.

 

That about sums it up.

 

Wow, I'm still amazed he's alive.

 

Hell yeah they do

It's also kind of sad that there's not many of them left. Would love to read their journals

 

I have an 103 year-old Grandpa. Does that count for anything? I'm 13-3/4 years-old by the way.
(No bragging intended)

That is amazing how he wanted to be in the army so much he'd "increase his age" and serve in WWI. And was a POW for 39 months.

 

Its amazing that anyone who went near the frontlines of WW1 was still alive at the end of 1918, let alone at the start of 2008.

 

holy sh*t!? There's still 14? anyway, very cool that he's still around and much respect
