Happy Birthday Frank

Frank W Buckles turned 109. As the last soldier of WW1, he is indeed a great and special man. Frank has stated that his greatest wish is to see a memorial to WW1 vets in Washington. May his wish be granted.
4,734,991 Americans served in the War to end all Wars. Their failure to do so is testament to the sad fact that we as people have evil in our hearts. The best men, given absolute power will become absolutely corrupted.
As we move forward, let us continue as Americans to honor Frank and his 4,734,990 comrades, and never forget that freedom wasn't free, and that sometimes, war IS the answer, especially since the alternative is surrender.
GOD bless you Frank.
