Does anyone know if Frank Buckles — a WW I vet from Charles Town, West Virginia — was able to attend? At 106, he is one of the last three known veterans of the Great War still alive in the U.S. A story in today’s paper said Mr. Buckles is still doing OK — and would be one of the marshals of today’s parade in Washington. No mention of him in this writeup.
