As the last surviving WWI veteran, he became the symbolic representation of all those who went before him. He should be honored in a way that honors all WWI vets, not because he alone deserves it, but because they all do. Add me to the list who agree 100% with this sentiment. Cpl Buckles is a symbol of all of those who served in "the Great War" and who have gone before him. He should be honored, not only for his own personal contribution, but because he was the last living representative of an entire generation (or two) of doughboys who served their country.

I agree wit the sentiment, but who is going to pay for it?

When do we stop? Last Dominican Marine, last Russian Intervention survivor, last Honduran Occupation Marine, last China Marine, last WW2 Vet, Last Greece MAC vet, last Korea vet, last Vietnam vet, last Desert One survivor, last Grenada vet, last Beirut Marine, last Panama vet, last Desert Storm vet, last Bosnia participant, last Somalia vet, last GWOT vet, or last Democrat Senator?
