I genuinely did not notice until now. I did not watch the service on TV but I saw the photos of the three brave old men in the paper. I thought to myself: what are they possibly thinking now after all those efforts, those deaths and those years and the world has not learnt yet to live in peace? <BR/>All the best. Ciao.

I haven't heard if we in the US have any remaining WWI vets. I've seen many older men marching in parades though and carrying a flag. They are proud to have served their country.

I was so pleased to see the men and the crowd's response to them. I could swear they stood a little taller in one moment that day! What an honor it is to meet them and they are still here to share their wealth of history with us!
