This year marks the 90th anniversary of World War One, which was fought from 1914 to 1918.
VOA's Deborah Block recently met, perhaps, the last living U.S. soldier who took part in what was known as the "Great War."

  • When you think about it........war today is nothing compared to war back then....

    Rest In Peace fallen hero.

  • @ClintJ2009 amen!

  • @Rebonetime one left - in Western Australia hes 110 - the last of 70 million 

  • Thanks for posting this. He died 2/272011, but only a few news agencies carried it. What a shame he and all the WWl soldiers are not given more attention and a place to honor them. I've walked the battlefield of Verdun & noted the holes in the ground from exploded shells cover the landscape. What a horror it must have been. The Department of Veterans Affairs said he would be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

  • @9N8X Now there's only 2 vets left worldwide.

  • @Pbirv Sadly he never lived to see it.

  • A WWI Memorial is long overdue.

  • RIP Corporal Buckles. Thank you for for service to this country.

  • RIP

  • I was in a parade with my dad, which was a tribute parade for him and he is 110 alive and well
