View Full Version : Last WWI Vet
Jay Leno: "Here's something pretty unbelievable. The only living World War I veteran, a man named Frank Buckles, just turned 109 years old. What's even more amazing, he just finished his fourth tour in Afghanistan."
Like all jokes it really in the timing; maybe it examples the impatience’s trickling down from Obama
I guess I'm missing something with the humor of Leno's comment. Frank Buckles really is the last WWI vet, and he's doing what he can to get a monument recognized for the vets of that war. I for one applaud what he's doing. If you look at what the WWI vets went thru in the early 30's in Anacostia, VA (Cox's Army) it makes a joke in poor taste, least it does IMO. YMMV. :confused:
