  • i heard he was retaking his canadian citizenship, did he do it yet?

  • Yes. He recently received his Canadian citizenship in a process expedited by the government. He's now a dual citizen of the US and Canada.

  • Image living for over a hundred years--damn.

  • @taylor1654 No, he was too young I think.

  • So did he see action or not?

  • oh the good olde days, where radio was in and tv was out.

  • The Maple Leaf FOREVER. Lest we forget.

  • @CambridgeHeights I thought that.. I think my mum did as well. He looks younger than my Nan who's 90..

  • John babcock died just 3 days before frank buckles. john being 108 and frank being 110 years old. GLORY too are northern brothers. and happy Canadian day and happy july 4th!!! (its strange how they died 3 days apart from each other and independence day and Canadian day are 3 days apart as well)

  • He doesn't look a day over 95!

  • Maybe Rush can write a song about John Babcock.

  • Same hair! Be careful how you comb your hair growing up, because you'll usually stick with it!
