Rest in peace, Mr. Buckles. I can't believe that we don't have a WWI memorial.

Rest in peace, Frank. Your service will be remembered, and your fight for a national WWI memorial will be carried on in the hearts of patriots across this great nation.

As a member of JROTC, I personally see Mr. Buckles as one of my heroes. Thank you for your service, Corporal Buckles. We were the same rank when I wrote to you, but have since been promoted.

Amazing that there were no comments on this true American hero. Mr. Buckles, as a proud American and retired U.S. Air Force member, I salute and thank you sir for serving our nation in both world wars. Please join Mr. Buckles in supporting the WW I memorial in DC.

[BrainChild42]

i second that notion

@jmf257 im sorry, but thats inaccurate. he wasnt in the air force, he was and ambulance driver. and he didn't serve in both world wars, he was imprisoned during ww2
