America used to honor it's veterans. FR used to have respect for our Veterans. While Frank Buckles may not have been a war hero, he was the last Veteran of WWI. His passing marks the end of an era.

May they rest in Peace.

Except, he was interned in 1902 by that stalwart conservative Teddy Roosevelt. Did I mention L’Enfant died in 1802?
Arlington is for soldiers, the Capitol is for “others”!
