Happy Birthday, Frank Woodruff Buckles

Most have probably never heard of him, but he’s worthy of our note and respect:

Frank Woodruff Buckles, Jefferson County’s most famous living citizen and the last surviving World War I doughboy, turns 110 years old Tuesday…

As the linked story goes on to note, Mr. Buckles is also a bit of a WWII veteran – being captured by the Japanese when he was working in the Philippines in WWII.

God bless this wonderful patriot.
