Last man standing

CHARLES TOWN, W.VA. – He’s the last one in America who can tell stories about his experiences during World War I.
And he lives just outside of Charles Town.
Frank Woodruff Buckles became the last known surviving American veteran of the First World War this year, and his family is busy keeping track of his schedule as he grants interviews and makes appearances.
The 107-year-old veteran was honored 10 days ago during ceremonies in Washington, D.C. He visited with President Bush at the White House and a photographic portrait of Buckles was unveiled at the Pentagon.

Wow. And, he was a POW. Stern stuff.
