Rest in peace and thank you.
God’s speed and thank you. May you find everlasting comfort and rest in the arms of God.
A chapter of our history is closed. The end of an era, the last soldier standing.
RIP Frank Buckles.
I hope there are plans for a state funeral and/or flags at half mast nationwide in honor of that entire generation.
Here is a trailer for a film about him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZoaUf3fvQg
Rest in peace, Mr. Buckles. Thank you for your service.
RIP, Sir. Just think the link to our history. He grew up acquainted with Civil War veterans.
May he rest in eternal peace, knowing that when it mattered, he did make a difference.
One era dies and another begins.
RIP Frank Buckles, we thank you for your service.
Holy mackerel ... he slowed down after his last birthday, at 109. Said by his daughter, who’s probably tapping 80 or more. What incredible genes they must have. God Bless Mr. Buckles for his long life, and service to our country.
Thank you for your service. Rest in peace.
Wow, very sad to see a chapter close on our history.
My grandfather was a WWI vet, who died in the 1980s.
The last WWI vet I knew died at 107, a few years ago.
God bless you, sir and THANK YOU for your brave service to our country.
