America's Last Surviving Veteran of the First World War

I read last week that Frank Buckles, the last surviving veteran of WW I from the United States, died at the age of 110 on 27 February, 2011.  The article said that there are only two surviving veterans in other countries.  Even though I am in Canada, when I passed this memorial on my walk along the Bow River this afternoon I thought of him.
