The last two WWI vets at the local Michigan Home for Veterans died four or five years ago, not long after France pinned a French medal on each of them for their WWI service (and about time, France) in a ceremony at the Home. One died at 102, he was in fine physical shape, even dancing with the (much younger) ladies.
