The last American Doughboy visits with President Bush

The United States lost 116,000 men in The Great War,now known as WWI.
The U.S. is the only Allied Forces nation which does not give these soldiers a state funeral.Arlington national Cemetery wasn't even going to allow him to be buried there!!

We can learn something from Mr.Buckles.A person doesn't reach 107 by acting a fool. At 107, he still does 50 sit ups a day and lifts weights three times a week. He served in the US Army in World War One, was a prisoner of War at Los Banos internment camp in World War Two.He's got something to pass along to us.
