We cherish the chance to say thank you in person to Cpl. Frank Buckles.

When you start to die, don't.

My job driving the ambulance was not very severe, you did what you were supposed to do. That was my main job.

If your country needs you, you should be right there, that is the way I felt when I was young, and that's the way I feel today.

I think General Pershing was the most military figure I've ever seen.

Mr. Buckles has a vivid recollection of historic times, and one way for me to honor the service of those who wear the uniform in the past and those who wear it today is to herald you, sir, and to thank you very much for your patriotism and your love for America.

Why should I read something someone made up when real events are so interesting?
