Last year, we posted a brief discussion of the history of Memorial Day, a US holiday of remembrance of Americans who died in military service for their country.
Following up on last year’s post: Frank Buckles is now 108, and [naturally] is still the last known surviving American veteran of World War One. Last year’s NPR interview with him is still available on-line.
