Saluting the last WWI Vet

marlboromike · 11-13-2007, 08:10 PM

I was watching the news last night and it appears there is one WWI vet alive.
As coincidence would have it, Kappasphere called me and stated that my picture won First Prize....I wrote a letter thanking them and wanted to dedicate this picture to Charles Beckle (last name maybe incorrect). He lives in West Virginia and is 106 years old...by the way, these pics were taken at the Dover Air Force Museum, Delaware.

Thank you Charles for all that you've done for our country

Mike, those are great shots that you took that day. Congratulations again.

Can't wait to see what you get......oh the possibilities!

Hey MM...any truth to the rumor that you're the last Civil War vet still alive?

Mike, may I say, You Inspire Me. I will send the picture in and see what happens. YOU, my friend, OUR MY HERO!

I never received a good conduct medal when I was in the Army...2 years but had a great time...of course, I was lucky I never made it to Vietnam.

I never even noticed his shoes were near the tire! You are a man of details, now aren't you. I should say, I have Al trained very well. He takes his shoes off whenever he stands on the furniture at home too.
