Amazing. The last WW1 veteran in France passed away a few months ago. I wonder how many survivors are left worldwide? Probably not even a dozen.

If he lives to be 120, he will reach a milestone. May he have many more happy years of life ahead of him.

My great-uncle served from Canada in WWI. He was killed, and is buried in France. My uncle was born in Canada, but served in the U.S. Army overseas during WWII. He became a citizen, but I’m not sure at what point that happened.
