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

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

I had many different assignments and I was doing things that I thought were important... no, I didn't either: I didn't think they were important. But I found out afterwards when I read up on my history that some of the things that I did were quite important.

I didn't lie; nobody calls me a liar, I may have increased my age.

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.

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