I felt this was okay for this forum, since he was by all right a member of this line of work.. At one point in history, long before EMS existed.

I have news articles from local papers.. The last Civil War vet dies, now the last WWI.. Some day, the last WWII.. Time goes on, and you have to wonder if time knows we exist.

I wanted to say WWI is finally over - but after googling it seems there are still two living ex-participants (one in Australia, the other one in the UK.)

Very impressive to have lived such a long and amazing life. Some might even wonder if he is now SOMEWHERE reconnecting with the love he left behind...just being himself with no pressure.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
