Last US World War I Veteran in Declining Health

Frank Buckles, 109, the last surviving US veteran of World War I has been reported by his family as having declining health the last several months.

In recent years, he has gone to Washington, DC on Veterans Day, but this year has decided to spend the day resting at his farmhouse in West Virginia.

He will be turning 110 this February. Here's hoping he improves, but that is quite old. It will be a sad day when Mr. Buckles passes on.

The Last of Another Great Generation.
