Last American Doughboy dies
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Re: Last American Doughboy dies
The First World War was probably the first conflict to be comprehensively recorded for prosperity. Not only are we able to draw on archive footage of cine film and numerous still photographs but we also have recorded narrative from those who participated and survived.
The silent witnesses of the numerous burial grounds also adds to the records and we should be ever grateful for the sacrifice of those who rest in those burial grounds.
I hope that he now finds solace with his contemporaries .

RIP Mr. Buckles and thank you for your service, I didn't realize you lived less than 28 miles away from my home.
