I would like to do a little AtoW honor thread to all Veterans. This particular post is for the few WW1 veterans alive today.

"Harry Richard Landis, who enlisted in the Army in 1918 and was one of only two known surviving U.S. veterans of World War I, has died. He was 108."
"The remaining U.S. veteran is Frank Buckles, 107, of Charles Town, W.Va., according the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition, John Babcock of Spokane, Wash., 107, served in the Canadian army and is the last known Canadian veteran of the war."
If any of you know or hear of honorable and notable Veterans such as these please let us know. I am curious if there any European Veterans of The Great War with us as well.
