And what about Mexican/American and Revolutionary vets? Who did RE Lee cast his for?
I assume Civil War vets are breaking 50/50.
And what about Traveler? Mr. ED?
Let’s not forget all the Suffragettes who will be proudly casting their first-ever ballots for H!
Frank Buckles was our last survivor and a think he passed around 2013.
I buy it! But if they are alive, they probably think Wilson is still president and don’t remember their own names.
World War I started 102 years ago and ended 98 years ago. Assuming someone who was 14 lied about his age and entered one of the services just before the war ended, that individual would be 112 years old.
I just don't see it .... it just doesn't add up.
Levity is good at this point.

The real answer is
Those Tombstones do not answer questions.
When ‘they’ say something is bad for you, counter with
“How about Baked Beans”
‘I don’t know’
“Well, it is a documented fact that any soldiers that ate baked beans in the ‘War of 1860-65’ died.”
World War I started 102 years ago and ended 98 years ago.

As to WWI
I joined the Navy, Nov 10 1956, 38 years after WWI ended.
That meant that I at 17 was seeing WWI Vets in their late 50s, early 60s +.
Now we all know that at 17 anyone over 30 is OLD.
So my point being that it has been 60 years since I enlisted and I thought the WWI Vets were OLD.....
Now just thinking of that, makes me old...
I used to be ‘foolish’ enough to say the MY grandkids were lucky, MY Grandfather was OLD...
Seems that it takes a long time for the actual changes in that mug you have been looking at in the mirror for the last ?? Years take a long time to register...
At least in your OWN mind...
