Saw this article on Yahoo news. The last of a great generation that fought in the "War to end all wars". I think a memorial in D.C. would be nice, but we have a great memorial to WWI here in K.C. with a museum that rivals if not is size but in quality of exibits the Imperial War Museum as far as WWI history. http://www.theworldwar.org/s/110/new/index.aspx?sid=110&gid=1&pgid=1113 If any of you ever get out this way it's worth a visit. Give me a call and I'd be glad to go along for another visit myself.

Bill,

Thanks for sharing the link, looks like a great museum. My wife has family in Nebraska that we visit, I'll let you know the next time we are out your way maybe we can get together. Most likely not driving the Midget though.

Regards,

OH ... NO freaken way!!!

What a loss, I only heard of him and his claim to fame about 2 years ago... what a cool old Koager, No doult those that where fornante to have meet him (sadly Im not one em) will have had a great 1st hand account to history of not just the story of a man, but of a outdated forgoten time in american history we all look back on with reverance, and secretly wonder was that our greatest moment as a nation.

Our nation is a sadder place with out this old guy in it.

God speed.. Frank, you've nothing to fear, on your new jouney
