Winner of a Gold Davey Award, this film written and directed by John J Kurash, Audio Visual Curator at the Army Heritage and Education Center, chronicles the life of Mr. Frank Buckles, an American original. Join us for a journey that took over 100 years to tell. Frank Buckles served in the US Army during WWI. He volunteered to serve in the Ambulance Corps so he could get over to France. Listen as he recounts his life, from Paris, as a prisoner of war in the Philippine Islands in the second world war to life on the farm. Mr. Buckles served his country time and again and continues to serve as an inspiration to us all.
