Washington (CNN) — Frank Buckles, the last living U.S. World War I veteran, has died, a spokesman for his family said Sunday. He was 110.
Buckles “died peacefully in his home of natural causes” early Sunday morning, the family said in a statement sent to CNN late Sunday by spokesman David DeJonge.
Farewell. And, thanks.
Truly, the end of an era.
God speed to a great man and a fellow West Virginian. The national media only recently started noticing him, we’ve counted him a dear and beloved state treasure for years.
God Speed Sir and thank you
