Frank Buckles apparently doesn't intend to take the offer any time soon. At 107, he still does 50 sit ups a day and lifts weights three times a week. He lives with his daughter in Charlestown, West Virginia. He served in the US Army in World War One, was a prisoner of War at Los Banos internment camp in World War Two.Wow!
He served in the US Army in World War One, was a prisoner of War at Los Banos internment camp in World War Two.... Frank Buckles did not qualify for internment at Arlington as that honor is reserved for Medal of Honor or Purple Heart recipients, or those killed in action.So let me get this straight - - Frank Buckles did not rate Arlington, but John F'n Kerry does?
