Re: In the US, it's Veteran's Day, which is much more relevant now all the WWI vets are dead. LittleGiffen Send a noteboard - 11/11/2009 10:14:41 PM
I think they said there's one guy left alive in Germany.


The last trench combat veteran (Harry Patch of the DCLI) died this summer. There is still an American (ambulance driver, I think) living in West Virginia, a Canadian, and an Australian(?). So they aren't all gone yet.
Look! I posted instead of lurking.
