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.

May he rest in eternal peace, knowing that when it mattered, he did make a difference.

One era dies and another begins.

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.

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.
