RIP FRANK BUCKLES 1901-2011
It's an amazing story. "I was never actually looking for adventure," Buckles once said. "It just came to me."
America's last surviving World War One veteran, a real-life hero raised in Oklahoma, has died.
Frank Buckles was born in Missouri in 1901, but was raised in Oklahoma. He passed away Monday morning at the age of 110.
He's been called "the humble patriot". Frank Buckles outlived every other American, all 4.7 million, who served in World War I.
