Arlington Burial Planned for Last 'Doughboy'
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 11, 2011 - America will pay its respects to its last World War I veteran March 15, as former Army Cpl. Frank Buckles is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
    Buckles -- the last of the more than 5 million Americans who served during World War I and were known as "doughboys" -- died Feb. 22 at his home in West Virginia. He was 110.
He will lie in honor at Arlington's Memorial Amphitheater Chapel from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 15 for the public to pay its last respects. The interment will be at 4 p.m., and the corporal will be buried near the site where General of the Armies John "Black Jack" Pershing, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, is buried.
The Pentagon Channel will carry the service.
    Buckles was born in Missouri in 1901. He enlisted in the Army in 1917, shortly after the United States declared war on Germany and its allies. He served as an ambulance driver on the Western Front.
In 1941, Buckles was in the Philippines, working in Manila, when Japan invaded the island nation. The Japanese captured him and confined him at the Los Banos prison with 2,200 other American civilians. U.S. forces liberated the camp in 1945.
    President Barack Obama has ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half staff in Buckles' honor March 15.

It's the Soldier, not the reporter 
Who has given us the freedom of the press.
It's the Soldier, not the poet, 
Who has given us the freedom of speech.
It's the Soldier, not the politicians 
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..
It's the Soldier who salutes the flag, 
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the Military,
Please pass this on and pray for our men and women
 
Who have served and are currently serving our country
 
And pray for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom....

AMEN!

God Bless Our Military
