...one of fewer than 1,000 remaining American World War I veterans.
In 25 years we'll see posts about the 1,000 remaining World War II veterans. I can't fathom that. My dad is a WWII vet and this new story reminds me of his mortality.

My dad fought in WW2 also. Omaha Beach and the Bulge. He passed away from cancer when I was 15. There's a wall somewhere in Normandy with his name and all the others who served in the liberation of the cheese eating surrender monkeys. Oh well. So we had to liberate France in order to beat Hitler. Coulda been worse. ;-)
Enjoy the time with your father. None of us knows when we're called.
