Uploaded by WVPublicBroadcasting on May 25, 2007
Last month marked the 90th anniversary of when America entered the Great War. President Woodrow Wilson called it the war to end all wars.
More than 4 million Americans were mobilized for World War One.
Only four remain.
One of them is 106-year-old Frank Buckles of Jefferson County.
As we head into Memorial Day weekend, Cecelia Mason talks to Buckles about his memories of two wars, his life today, and his gratitude.
This story aired May 24, 2007, on the program "Outlook." Cecelia Mason is the producer.

I believe I am related to Frank . My grandfather was Fred Buckles form Missouri. He moved to Oklahoma when his mother died. Fred passed away in 1972.I grew up in Oklahoma City and I believe that my grandfather lived in Piedmont, Oklahoma. If anyone knows how to contact Frank please have him get hold of me.
