The Last WWI Vet

Dwight Wilson passed away today.  He was 106 years old and he was a veteran of the Great War.  That leaves us with one World War 1 veteran, John Babcock.

The First World War ended in 1918.  That was 89 years ago.  That means Dwight Wilson was 17 when the war ended.  John Babcock alone now carries the torch and shoulders a nation's appreciation by his lonesome.
