The Last Soldier
Check out this op-ed piece in the Times about the extraordinary life of Frank Buckles, the last surviving member of the US Expeditionary Force in WWI. As the article points out, Buckles is one of only three surviving American WWI vets and the other two were in boot camp when the war broke out. Godspeed, Mr. Buckles.

As the saying goes, if you're reading this, thank a teacher. If you're reading this in English, thank a soldier. Have a good Veterans Day.
