On February 4th 2008, the second-to-last American veteran of World War I, Harry Landis, of Sun City Center, Fla., died at the age of 108. Landis' passing leaves one man, 107-year-old Frank Buckles, the sole surviving U.S. doughboy.
Buckles, of Charles Town, W.Va., remains in remarkably good health, still living at home and doing media interviews, still mentally sharp and physically mobile, still exercising every day. Yet when he goes, so, too, will a generation. So plans are being made at the National World War I Museum in Kansas City to commemorate the end of an era, to visit their website, click here |
