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.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

In the US, it's Veteran's Day, which is much more relevant now all the WWI vets are dead. - 11/11/2009 08:14:57 PM 567 Views
