Raw Video: Last American WWI Veteran Buried

[Totorosensei]

This one makes me very emotional. Mr. Buckles was from Bethany, MO, as my Grandpa and Dad were. My Grandpa Geo. Martin Davis was gassed in the Argonne, lived, & was sent back to the front. He passed in 1931, having barely made it thru the winter of 1930/31 due to his lungs passin the in May '31. My Dad was in the USAAC in WW2 & passed in 2008. We owe all veterans more than we realize &, more than we could imagine, much more than we could ever repay! Thank you very, very much for this tribute!!

The last of the missing generation, remember WWI.

This man haw saw it all

[zarathustra135]

Why he wasn't allowed to lie in state in the rotunda of the capital, I have no idea.

[joshuabrooks21]

Dammit, I thought America would win the right to claim the prize for the last survivor of WWI. Damn you Britain, and Australia! Anyway, RIP to Frank Buckles, and all who fought, and died in WWI.

Why is most of the video on president obama and vice president Biden?

I'm sorry, but who's supposed to be the main concern here? THE VETERAN.

@MrSpemat 70,000 lost in vietnam?... more then 1million gooks wasted... there was allot of death there... and They fought hard. I know vietnam vets man.. trust me.. they wouldn't be all fucked up if it wasn't a real war... BUT anyway.. I'm sure we can agree that this man dieing is a tragic loss and we should honor vets of any "conflict"

'Raw Video: Last American WWI Veteran Buried"

"President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden came to pay their respects to Frank Buckles"

Ruined.

[RCvolunteer1978]

@xxSerpenttinexx Sir We most have Respect for the Offices of both President / vice President I would have like the now present CO of the unit That he was with There paying honor to him then those two "Wonderful persons" After they are out of office I'll say what I think about them Why do we have to choose the lesser of two men and as always both Dem. and Rep. was BAD.... Ron Paul for President 2012

@dkc4475 Or any degenerate redneck hillbillies, or pretty much any eurotrash descendant that currently lives in the U.S. :)

[IRONBULL777]

What three fucking assholes dislike'd this.  At least he outlived the nazis!

[Mystery207]

@IRONBULL777 No he did not.

[IRONBULL777]

@Mystery207 Unless their is afew nazis left that are around his age, this U.S. soldier technically outlived his WWI foes...

[reddot44]

@IRONBULL777 The last two surviving WW1 vets fought for the British I think

[IRONBULL777]

@reddot44 Thank you for the input.

[reddot44]

@IRONBULL777 Okay you sarcastic douche, I'll just go ahead and point out that Nazi's were WW2, how would a WW1 outlive his "nazi" foes?

[IRONBULL777]

@reddot44 Apparently I have 15 votes that understood that comment. Then their's you. Prime example of words flying right over your head. *Sigh* Just let it go.

[Piratenflagge1]

@reddot44

Probably some asshole who hates Germans in general.

[GhettoBlaster100]

@IRONBULL777 nope, the only 2 people left who took part in the war is a woman (nurse) from england and a soldier from australia

[htowntim2007]

FUCKING NAZI PRESIDENT AND HIS SIDEKICK

[Finest1510]

@Liar805 i guess like i know that it started like early 1900's

[EndlessFunctionality]

press 6 for obama glare.

[Sencei152]

so he was a teen when he fought the war

[Finest1510]

Are you serious there are no more US WWI veterans anymore?

[sethzky77]

This makes me sick!  Obama's smiling, and apparently didn't even pay his respects. Just showed up and left, just enough to get on camera.

America needs to wake up and realize, these people no longer represent us! It's time to rise and take the power back! Not tomorrow, not next week, not next year, but Now! Rise up! America, we are one!

[KirbyPwnz13]

@sethzky77 Go smoke some kush and stfu.

[htowntim2007]

@sethzky77 RGR THAT WE NEED TO ROUT OUT THESE NAZI'S THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR COUNTRY FROM WITHIN TREASON IS BEING COMMITED ON EVERY LEVEL

[sethzky77]

Nice that Obama and Biden showed up for two seconds, giggled and dipped out. What a couple of twats! Show's the total disregard for the sacrafice of the citizens. Sad, Sad time in America. Too bad such an old hero had to see it come to this in his last remaining years.......

[TafTabTah]

Thank you sir, your generation will be greatly missed

[maxwell0700]
