Frank Wood Buckles is the last known surviving veteran of
World War I. He was born in 1901 in Harrison Co., MO, the son of James Clark Buckles (1857 IL - 1952 OK) and Theresa J. Keown (1859 IL - 1936 OK). Frank, age 107, was honored Memorial Day 2008 at the National WWI Museum in Kansas City, MO. There are several interesting articles about Frank via Google. Amazingly at the age of 107 he is very alert, reads a lot, and does daily exercises. Congratulations, Frank!
