As you all know, Frank Buckles, the last survivor of WWI passed away recently.  Of that entire group of men, he was the very last.

He passed away at his home in Charleton, West Virginia, at age 110.

One would think that as the very last member of that great force, he would be honored by lying in the Capitol rotunda.  Well, he’s not.

It seems that someone is not allowing the measure that would allow this to come to the floor of the House Of Representatives.  Yeah, you got it.  The Speaker of the House is not letting Frank Buckles be honored as he should be.

One of the arguments is that if they do it for Mr. Buckles then they will have to do it for the last member of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.  I ask, there’s a problem with that?

I suggest we all call the Speaker’s office and ask, “Mr Speaker, why do you hate the troops?”
