Last man standing

Frank Buckles is the last surviving American WWI veteran. He appears to have lived to see the 90th anniversary of the end of WWI.

Mr. Buckles is currently 107 years old.

Interesting...
Two years ago, I posted a link to an article that mentioned that there were 12 left. Two years later, there is only one.
30 years from now, we'll be noting the same about World War II veterans.
