Harry R. Landis joined the Army in October of 1918, and barely served a month before the Armistice was signed. That one month of his 108 year long life earned him the distinction of being one of the last two American WWI Veterans. He never thought much of his time in the Military, and couldn't understand why he was "famous." The fact that he was one of the last American Vets only surfaced in the last year or two of his life. He had excellent health up until his last week, passing away in February 2008.
