I too have the news recorded for me to watch when I get home tonight. I can only imagine the stories Mr. Buckles has to tell. If only we would take the time to appreciate the treasures that we have in our people. Very glad that you do have the opportunity to record history through the stories of people like Mr. Buckles.

I'm a student at Emory University and I've been trying to get Mr. Buckles' phone number or address. Does anyone know where I could find either one? Thanks! This story is absolutely amazing.

Thanks for giving the heads-up on Twitter that it's airing tonight. (DVR is set.) I enjoyed reading Andy Gross' profile on Mr. Buckles, which you linked to above. He not only served in WWI but spent 39 months in a Japanese POW camp during WWII. Amazing. I'd say he looks pretty darned good now for 106 years old. Another interesting report on the story behind the news. Jim, I’ve been looking forward to the WWI vet story ever since I found out you were working on it.
