Squeezed in between Halloween and Thanksgiving is a holiday that doesn’t get a lot of attention. In November 1918, the world was reeling from four years of war, and was in the midst of a pandemic caused by a virus that was related to the current H1N1 flu. November 11, the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I is celebrated by freedom from mail and school and the occasional parade. This year, 91 years after the war ended, Congress is considering a bill to establish a World War I memorial on the national mall, to honor those who served in the Great War. The bill is titled the Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act, in honor of America’s last living veteran of World War I, Frank Woodruff Buckles. Buckles served in both World Wars, and currently lives in Charles Town, West Virginia, with his daughter. He is 108.
