Default Veteran of both WWI & WWII, is the last known living WWI Veteran.

Sorry I forgot to bring the info with me but, wanted to give you guys an important "Heads-Up."

When I get here Monday, i'll change out this info.

Anyway, as of this month, there is only one known living American veteran of WWI. :-( This man fought in both WWI & WWII and he is now 107. Also, he lied about his age when he enlisted for service in WWI.

Im kind of saddened and embarassed that I had not heard of the passings of those other two American WWI Veterans. Their passing must have happened with-in the past 2-3 months.

Anyway, Pres Bush honored this vet, but I did not hear the full story. Maybe one of you story hounds can dig up more info on this from what I posted here? ;-)) The passing of a great era, is almost here. :-((

EDIT----Slipdigit

Merged two threads on same subject. Cudos to Carl and Ike for bringing this to our attention.
