Worthy of Honor

The last known living Veteran of WWI was honored recently. The guy is 107 years old and I can't imagine anyone who's seen more than him. The guy was also in the Philippines during WWII and despite being a civilian, he ended up becoming a prisoner of war.

Frank Woodruff Buckles provides a shining example of something America has lost -- the willingness to sacrifice personally for the greater good. Here's hoping that we get it back.
