MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Frank Buckles, the last surviving U.S. veteran of World War I, has died. He was 110. Buckles, who also survived being a civilian POW in the Philippines in World War II, died peacefully of natural causes early Sunday at his home in Charles Town, biographer and family spokesman David DeJonge said in a statement. Buckles turned 110 on Feb. 1 and had been advocating for a national memorial honoring veterans of World War I in Washington, D.C. Buckles lied about his age to join the army at age 16.The Missouri native was among nearly 5 million Americans who served in World War I in 1917 and 1918. "I knew there'd be only one (survivor) someday. I didn't think it would be me," he was quoted as saying in recent years. Buckles drove an ambulance during the war. The Washington Post said that with Buckles' death, only a 109-year-old Australian man and a 110-year-old British woman were believed to survive from the estimated 65 million people who served in the 1914-1918 war. On Nov. 11, 2008, the 90th anniversary of the end of the war, Buckles attended a ceremony at the grave of World War I Gen. John Pershing in Arlington National Cemetery. "I can see what they're honoring, the veterans of World War I," he told CNN. He was back in Washington a year later to endorse a proposal to rededicate the existing World War I memorial on the National Mall as the official National World War I Memorial. He told a Senate panel it was "an excellent idea." The memorial was originally built to honor District of Columbia's war dead. Born in Missouri in 1901 and raised in Oklahoma, Buckles visited a string of military recruiters after the United States entered the "war to end all wars" in April 1917. He was repeatedly rejected before convincing an Army captain he was 18. He was 16½. "A boy of (that age), he's not afraid of anything. He wants to get in there," Buckles said. More than 4.7 million people joined the U.S. military from 1917-18. Buckles served in England and France, working mainly as a driver and a warehouse clerk. The fact he did not see combat didn't diminish his service, he said: "Didn't I make every effort?" An eager student of culture and language, he used his off-duty hours to learn German, visit cathedrals, museums and tombs, and bicycle in the French countryside. After Armistice Day, Buckles helped return prisoners of war to Germany. He returned to the United States in January 1920. Buckles returned to Oklahoma for a while, then moved to Canada, where he worked a series of jobs before heading for New York City. There, he again took advantage of free museums, worked out at the YMCA, and landed jobs in banking and advertising. But it was the shipping industry that suited him best, and he worked around the world for the White Star Line Steamship Co. and W.R. Grace & Co. In 1941, while on business in the Philippines, Buckles was captured by the Japanese. He spent 3½ years in prison camps. "I was never actually looking for adventure," Buckles once said. "It just came to me." He married in 1946 and moved to his farm in West Virginia in 1954, where he and wife Audrey raised their daughter, Susannah Flanagan. Audrey Buckles died in 1999. In spring 2007, Buckles told the AP of the trouble he went through to get into the military. "I went to the state fair up in Wichita, Kansas, and while there, went to the recruiting station for the Marine Corps," he said. "The nice Marine sergeant said I was too young when I gave my age as 18, said I had to be 21." Buckles returned a week later. "I went back to the recruiting sergeant, and this time I was 21," he said with a grin. "I passed the inspection ... but he told me I just wasn't heavy enough." Then he tried the Navy, whose recruiter told Buckles he was flat-footed. Buckles wouldn't quit. In Oklahoma City, an Army captain demanded a birth certificate. "I told him birth certificates were not made in Missouri when I was born, that the record was in a family Bible. I said, 'You don't want me to bring the family Bible down, do you?'" Buckles said with a laugh. "He said, 'OK, we'll take you.'"

Once again you are lying. You only "honor" those who swallow your bullshit without question. You even called me a phony several times "because REAL veterans don't question the records of other veterans."

It's never been about anything else. It's about EVERY person who has ever served with honor, and that cunts such as you don't get to make the rules or standards to determine if or if not their service was of value. Ahhh,spin that would make your master,Yu-Tard proud! Where have I EVER said your service was not of value? I merely said and stand by the FACT that you are NOT a combat veteran. YOU are the one who thinks that means your service was of no value.

The US NAVY works by TEAMWORK, MY crew, MY TEAM, MY ships(s), had part of THREE MIG KILLS. In other words,SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE in the US Navy shot down some MIGS,and since you were also in the Navy you claim partial credit for the shootdowns. I have part of THREE MIG KILLS, because I was in charge of, and ran, the WEAPONS main battery air search radar. You sat inside a steel room floating around off-shore and operated a radar system,and think THIS makes you a combat vet?????? Delusional doesn't begin to describe you. ALL of my service and claims are the truth, it's not a "boast" in any way. It's you two losers who TRY steal "valor" not me. ROFLMAO! Yeah that's you weasel gurl, and your little butt buddy who "won" the Vietnam WAR all by himself, little "man" stinky petey. Once again,you psychotic liar,where and when did I ever claim that?

His story certainly has changed. In the original version, Smelly Pooch alone claimed responsibility for personally shooting down three Migs.

As if it is a cutting edge feat anyway to shoot down badly trained pilots in outdated second hand Soviet aircraft that is part of the armed forces of a small, third world nation.
Because that is your standard insane rant towards me,you sexually confused dipshit.

Prove it. REAL good work showing respect for the last US WW1 vet little "man". Once again,here is yet another example of your "stolen valor" approach to anyone pointing out your lies. Somebody calls you on your bullshit,and you immediately link yourself to this deceased WW-1 vet and try to pretend a attack on you is also a attack on him. But, that's just YOUR style isn't it little "man"? What you know about style can be written on the head of a pin.

Yup. He is still reaching out there by claiming since the Navy did it and he was in the Navy,he did it personally. The psychotic puppy really does have some self-esteem issues,doesn't he?

AND.......,HE had no part in the action. All he did was operate the radar and tell others were the MIGs were. And THAT is IF he is even telling the truth about this. Which is doubtful given his past history. I still suspect he was booted out of the Navy at boot camp for "the good of the service" for being a little too enthusiastic about the idea of having "ship mates" and "hot bunking",if you know what I mean. This would explain his desperate attempts to play what he thinks are macho roles. He is over-compensating. I have told him before he would be happier if he just got it over with and came out of the closet,but he just ain't ready to make that move yet. All this macho posing on at least 3 boards now,and the sad little fuck still doesn't realize that nobody would be impressed even if every claim he made was proven true because it was all 40 years ago and nobody really gives a damn. You have to admit "I was on a boat with several hundred other guys,and the boat I was on along with several other boats and several airplanes took part in a joint effort to shoot down a couple of obsolete fighter planes from 20+ miles away,and this makes me a combat veteran!" is beyond desperate. You would think a Navy veteran with at least 4 years of service during a shooting war would have at least talked to some Corpsmen and have SOME understanding of what combat really is.

LOL! You are a LYING POS skippy doo doo. (I know, OLD news). I have NEVER ever claimed that you lying POS, my "story" hasn't changed in ANY way you gibbering libTURD tool. I have said, from the very beginning, that "I have PART of THREE MIGS". Then you gibbering wannabe lubbers went sideways "thinking" that I was claiming to have splashed them "on my own"! Which shows EXACTLY how much you pitiful little turds know about splashing MIGS. You stoopid wannabe lubber MORONS CLAIM to think that I said that I PERSONALLY, ALL BY MY LONESOME , SPLASHED THREE MIGS! LOL! MORONS! But you know that you are just LYING, and your only purpose is to TRY to F with me. You being the little weak never been nowhere, never done anything, never served in in any military, in any way ever, you pitiful little coward FOOL. Show me the quote of me claiming otherwise skippy doo doo. BTW skippy doo doo; REAL GOOD WORK SHOWING RESPECT FOR AMERICA'S LAST WW1 VETERAN'S PASSING.

I remember in particular one instance where this sad sack posted an article on a noted veteran that got attention and some thanked him for posting it, and he was eating it up. I mean, he was like a starving man gobbling up any vicarious association with this guy and his story he could. You are correct about his severe mental dysfunction he thinks nobody is wise to. It's why I don't get angry with him or pay him much mind but for the amusing spectacle he makes on line. Someone like him say in an unconventional warefare operational area with a team would be such a security liability he likely would wind up dead and buried merely to save everyone else's lives. Being a showboat and prone to actions that compromise security is an unforgiving situation where people can and do make hard choices.
Only if they were male MIGs and you got to lube their petcocks.
LOL! That's pretty funny,Princess. It's losers such as you who makes the "real" combat vets like those who served in WW2 and Korea despise whiny Vietnam vets. Un,huh. And here you are,once again,insinuating that I'm not a "real combat vet" and that VN vets are whiny. BTW, I do want to go on record right here and flat-out state that I NEVER shot down any MIGS. Well,YOU are whiny,but you're not a VN vet. You MAY be a VN-Era vet,but that's it. Which ironically enough bothers me not all at,but drives YOU nuts. Or even nuttier,if that is possible.

I know. It's really pathetic. You are correct about his severe mental dysfunction he thinks nobody is wise to. I know. The fact that he thinks nobody can see it only proves how delusional he really is. It's why I don't get angry with him or pay him much mind but for the amusing spectacle he makes in line. I'm a little embarrassed for him. Face it,nobody is that way because they want to be that way,and when he isn't foaming at the mouth he is a pretty intelligent guy that has worthwhile things to say and articles to post. Sadly,that part of him is disappearing into the background as the barking mad part of his personality takes over control. Someone like him say in an unconventional operational area with a team would be such a security liability he likely would wind up dead and buried merely to save everyone else's lives. Not slamming him,but I can think of no set of circumstances where any team going in on a hazardous mission would have him. Not even a infantry squad in the regular army or the USMC. He's just too unbalanced.

I know what you mean. When I visit Alaska I always here about how cabin fever, the lack of sun and booze drives people crazy up there. I think there is small coincidence to the fact he is a man in his sixties in an unforgiving climate with little contact with many people and the insanity that rages out of him. He really should consider relocating to the lower forty eight in the next couple of years to see if that cures what ails him. Because what he's doing ain't working for him now. And I can believe on line at Stone's place is the only place he is so dysfunctional. And you are right about no one wanting him in the field on the ground with him. He reminds my of one kid that glommed on little old 'candy striper' me when I was in my SF unit going to TRADOC's 31C PMOS school to get a signal MOS to qualify for the 18E course. He had dropped out of the Ranger's selection course and was trying to rhetorically grind his nose into my butt with was excruciatingly irritating. He wanted to pass himself off as knowledgeable, but he couldn't tell the difference between an SF canidate who had not gone to the Q Course yet and a tab qualified SF trooper. I exasperation I interrupted his litany of B.S. about his fictional experience with all the weapons he fantasized about using and asked, "Tell me, Rick, can you shoot an azimuth?" He responded, "Sergeant, I just done tol' you I can shoot anything in the Army inventory."
That's funny! As long as he ain't the point man,or the guy calling in redleg or tac-air.

Often, a local judge with parental guidance and authorized signatures permitted this sort of minor infraction; it is always true during a war. Mad Dog, you bring dishonor to our fighting men. You have proved again, that your barking, growling and snarling singles YOU out as you post data that represents America's finest.
Keep kicking ass when you perceive the difference of political effort and factual commentary, Mike.
Yep little "man", YOU are a terribly insecure and afraid little "man". You are so afraid of your little contribution being diluted, or overshadowed by those of others who did their duty. YOU are what WW2 and Korean WAR vets despise most you little whiny bitch. YOU are so insecure about YOUR honor and contribution that YOU have to insult and dismiss entire branches of the Armed Forces. YOU TRY to claim the right to say who is and who is not a "true" or "combat" veteran, even when it's against the Department of the NAVY and Department of Defense, who do decide, and who have decided. YOU are a gibbering insecure deeply afraid little "man". AND YOU don't get to make any of those calls, certainly not regarding me as an individual or anybody else you vile fraud. YOU try to demand something which you have no idea of it parameters and reality. While YOU TRY to deny it to all others save those who YOU select. LOL! FOOL! YOUR CLAIMED past service aside, (none of us gets to ride four decades unless you claim to have a CMH little "man"?), what YOU are NOW is a bitter angry scared little "man", without even a concept of what HONOR is. BTW little "man" REAL GOOD WORK SHOWING RESPECT FOR AMERICA'S LAST WW1 VETERAN'S PASSING. You know not HONOR little "man".

It's usually those vets who have seen the most active duty and been in the line of fire, who don't want to be reminded AND would be the first to laugh at you because they know what vets who act like you, aren't.

I guess you are proud in doing Puddle Pirate work in the South China Sea and then calling yourself a Vietnam Vet, but you still were the moral equivalent of a Coast Guard Op and merely a Vietnam era Vet. Does that reality mean anything to you?

How do you know that I'm speaking about YOU little "man"?
#31. To: Mad Dog (#26)
The US NAVY and the US Department of Defense disagree with you little "man".
#32. To: Mad Dog (#27)
Spoken as the true wannabe lubber fool that we all already know you to be little "man".

His story certainly has changed. In the original version, Smelly Pooch alone claimed responsibility for personally shooting down three Migs.

As if it is a cutting edge feat anyway to shoot down badly trained pilots in outdated second hand Soviet aircraft that is part of the armed forces of a small, third world nation.

"I have said, from the very beginning, that "I have PART of THREE MIGS"."

You are the most insecure and afraid person I have had the misfortune to encounter on the web.

I mean, he was like a starving man gobbling up any vicarious association with this guy and his story he could.

"I'm a little embarrassed for him. Face it,nobody is that way because they want to be that way,and when he isn't foaming at the mouth he is a pretty intelligent guy that has worthwhile things to say and articles to post. Sadly,that part of him is disappearing into the background as the barking mad part of his personality takes over control."

"Tell me, Rick, can you shoot an azimuth?"

Buckles lied about his age to join the army at age 16.
#48. To: Ferret Mike (#4)
And yeah, we won the war..... which is why Saigon is now Ho Chi Minh City, right?

YOU TRY to claim the right to say who is and who is not a "true" or "combat" veteran, even when it's against the Department of the NAVY and Department of Defense, who do decide, and who have decided.

I'll HONOR Mr. Frank Buckles, who was the LAST American and maybe of the world's WW1 veteran.

America's last World War I veteran dies, Frank Buckles lied about his age to get into uniform.

"I guess "secure that" doesn't mean anything to you?"
