Last known WW1 Navy Vet Dies at age 105
http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Apr...tBrown,00.html
According to the article that leaves only 4 known people left that served in WW1. 3 from the army and 1 that was in the Canadian army. Is sad to see such an important group from history will likely be completely gone soon |

Re: Last known WW1 Navy Vet Dies at age 105
Thanks for the heads up. It's vital that we keep the sacrifice and service of people like this in the forefront of our mind. More often than not people of significance pass from this world with barely a turn of the head from those of us who daily reap the rewards of their hard work and dedication.
I've tried to communicate this to my 10 and 13 year old. I hope it sinks in.

Re: Last known WW1 Navy Vet Dies at age 105
I agree 100% people have learned growing up through all of the protests against war and our soldiers they just forget what these patriots do for our country daily. and it doesnt affect them. Just like veterans day, aside from what you see on the tv its just another day. and its a shame its come to this
