Frank Buckles at age 16 (1917)
In 1917, not yet 17 years of age, he lied to enter the army. He served in both England and France.
In 2007, he was awarded the French Legion of Honor.
During his civilian years in the Phillipines during World War II, he was captured and spent years as a POW in a Japanese prison camp.
I last blogged about Frank on Veterans day in 2009!
God bless your soul and your outstanding life, Frank!
