Frank was one of the last three surviving World War I veterans in the world, and was the last living American veteran of the war.  At the time of his death, Buckles was also the oldest verified World War I veteran in the world.
He will be buried at the Arlington National Cemetery and to honor him we will have his memorial on the same day. 
On this day all Ships at sea, Military installations, government buildings and all American Embassies around the world will lower their American Flags to Half-Staff to honor Frank Buckles and his generation.
Frank is our Nation’s possibly first and most assuredly Last Motorcycle Messenger of WWI. He was an American Legion Rider, Honorary Patriot Guard Rider, Honorary Belladier of the Liberty Bell, a Son of the American Revolution and the Last Member of General Pershing’s American Expeditionary Force’s “Boots on the Ground” Soldiers.
