This story featuring a 105-year-old WWI veteran appeared in yesterday's Martinsburg, WV Journal. What they didn't say was that Mr. Buckles was a civilian employee of the Army in the Philippines at the beginning of WWII. He was caught in the Japanese invasion and survived the Bataan Death March then prison camp until the end of the war. I'd like to look as good as he does when I'm 75 . Paul Johnson
