Frank Woodruff Buckles, Last American WWI Veteran

Frank Woodruff Buckles, age 107, is the last survivng American Veteran of World War I. While in the service, he sailed on the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors from the Titanic. He is more than likely also the last living person who sailed on the Carpathia. During World War II he was working for a shipping line and was captured by the Japanese in the Philippines, spending three years in a prison camp. Over the years as he would read Veterans magazines, he noticed the number of WWI Veterans becoming smaller and smaller, until now, much to his surprise, he is the last.
He was most gracious in his reply, typing a short letter, and sending along several photographs, each item bearing his signature.
