Thank-you for your interest in my story as America's last World War One Survivor. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and am humbled to be the representative of nearly 5 million Americans who served with me. I receive many requests for interviews and correspondence and at 108 I do my best to respond as quickly as I can.
92 years ago I was stationed in France to serve the United States of America when I heard the news that the war had ended. 92 years have passed and there is still not a memorial to our service in our Nations capitol- Washington, DC.
116,561 Americans died during WWI. It is my last hope and my desire that there will be a monument so that our sacrifice will not be forgotten. If you wish to thank me please write your congressmen and ask them to support HR 482 by Congressmen Ted Poe. For more information please visit www.WWIMEMORIAL.ORG.
Patriotically yours,
Frank Woodruff Buckles
