Frank Woodruff Buckles | Hero | Sharp Dresser
by Joe
Mr. Frank Buckles is the last remaining WWI Veteran and a steadfast proponent and advocate for a much deserved WWI Memorial in Washington, DC. I must have had my head down on this, didn’t know a memorial for the men who fought the “War to End All Wars” was non-existant. That should probably change, quick. Write your Senator, post haste, on Mr. Buckles behalf. We owe that (in the least) to him and the other 5 million that served along side him.

I’m going to drop a note in the mail to Mr. Buckles….according to his site, you can do the same:
In his words:
If you desire to send a note or letter, I cherish everyone.

Mr. Buckles is a real American hero, and this is the kind of man kids need to be learning about nowadays. You’d better believe my Senators will be getting a letter, and I think I’ll send Mr. Buckles a Christmas card as well.
That’s the spirit Greg! How great would it be if everyone in our little circle sent him a hand written christmas card….spread the word my friend. Thanks for your continued commenting, it’s much appreciated.-Joe
