The UK Telegraph Makes a Good Point

It says that now that Britain's last two World War I veterans have received France's Legion de Honneur, isn't it about time that they be knighted?

Harry Patch, 110, received his award last week and Henry Allingham got his today.

They make a good point. These two men deserve the honor.

And. while we're on the subject, the same honors should be accorded to
Netherwood Highes, born June 12, 1900, 108, who did not see action, but was a veteran nonetheless.

If the French can do it, what's the problem with the United Kingdon?

See March 12th for Harry Patch's honor.

This was the original "Greatest Generation."
