I feel it is encumbant upon me to mention (at the very least) that only last week we saw the 91st anniversary of Private Buckle's action at Belleau Woods (June 25th, 1918) while serving with the US Army's 2nd Division (the "Indian Head Division").
Imagine that... the man's only combat duty (as a soldier, mind you... he was captured by the Japanese in the Pacific while serving in the Merchant Marine services and did two years as a POW) was very nearly 91 YEARS ago exactly. He's been out of the Army longer than 96.44% of all Americans will ever live!
