    Not only RIP to Buckles but to an entire generation of soldiers now gone, they can only be a memory, the sun has set. Dead and gone...every last one of them...think about when you interact with WWII, Korean Conflict and Vietnam vets...

    Farewell and Godspeed, Corporal. With you passes a generation of American history that we'll never see the like of again.

    Just read a Washington Post article on this guy. Truly amazing. 110 years old. Imagine being a WWI vet and being imprisoned during WWII, you can probably say you have seen it all...the last 110 years in the country have had some major advancements and this guy saw them...I am bewildered
