Dear Mr. Buckles, I think we should have a WWI memorial. Because men like you sacrificed your life to keep our country free. I thank you and many other veterans for preserving our liberty. I hope you have a wonderful birthday next week. Thank you so much, Johnna

Mr. Frank Buckles I appreciate you serving in WW1 for the U.S Army. I hope the congress lets you have a memorial for the WW1 veterns. Also i want to ask have you ever met Alvin York one of the biggest WW1 veterns of all time. I think of you Mr. Buckles as one of the greatest WW1 veterns of all time. Mr. Buckles i hope you have a great year and enjoy it.

Hello Mr. Buckles my name is Ethan, I am from Evans Elementary School in Albertville, Alabama. We all thank you so much for everything you've done. I wish you could come to our school and say a speech if you can because we haven't had a war HERO come to our school and it would mean so much if you came. Thanks an GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mr. Buckles, I love and thank you for fighting in World War 1. I can't believe your about to be 109 years old. I live in Albertville, Alabama. I really like your idea of building a World War 1 monument in Washington D.C.. I again thank you, bye.

Dear Frank Buckles, How do you live this long? I think you right about having a World War I Memorial. I hope they agree to it. Plus they without World War I there wouldn't be a World War II, so there should be a World War I Memorial. I hope you have good day, God Bless. Katie Allen

Dear Mr. Buckles, I appreciate your hard work that you put into the war. I thank you very much. I really hope that they build the WW1 memorial so that you and all the others who fought in the great war can be recognized to all who would see it. Sometimes I wish that I could go into the U.S army. You are very brave and patriotic. I wish that more people in the United States would recognize the importance of nationalism. Thank you again for your bravery and inspiration.

Dear Mr. Frank Buckles, I would like to take the time to thank you for risking your life in WW1 &WW2. You are a hero to me for what you have done. I appreciate how you went to Congress in November to ask for them to make a memorial for WW1. I feel like that they made a WW2 memorial, but without WW1 there wouldn't be a WW2. I would like to be as old as you when I die. I liked it when you said that you didn't expect to get anything in return for you being a hero. I would like to ask if you would write me back, only because I am in an advanced history class and we would like to see what you would say. We are studying you and my class mate and I both agree that you are a BIG inspiration to us. Thank you again, Erika Roman(Albertville, AL.)

Hello Sir, My name is Colby. I am in the sixth grade and we have just started learning about World War I. I have had a lot of interest in WWI. We have also started learning about you. Wow, 108 years old! God has truly been you all of those years! I'm hoping the Congress will listen to what you have to say and hopefully put a memorial up for the lives lost in WWI. I will pray for you and good luck. God Bless You!

Hello my name is Baylon Wood . I am from Albertville, Alabama. I want to thank you for all you have done. What is it like to be 108 years old. Please try to message back.

Dear Mr. Buckles, I hope the congress approves of having you and fellow veterans of WW1 a memorial. I am a 6th grade student in Alabama. We are learning about you and Alvin York. I think all of the things I here about you are very fascinating.

Mr. Frank Buckles I would love to know how it was fighting in World War one? I could not even imagine fighting in World War one or even imagine sending World War one veterans a message. Are you proud that you are still alive today? I know I sure would like to live to 109. P.S please write me back!!!!!

Thank you for your valor and dedication to this great nation.

I appreciate the legacy that you carry on. As a veteran I appreciate the service, sacrifice and devotion to duty that you embody. Thank you and God Bless you. Mark Krumrey New Richmond WI

I hope this finds you in good health and spirits! Since your visit to the National WWI Museum/Liberty Memorial in Kansas City in 2008, I've been in awe of your steadfastness and abilities. I think of you every time I visit that awesome memorial. Thank you for being our most distinguished link to that War to End all Wars and your continued efforts that the men who served in it be never forgotten. Lynn

Dear Sir, Being a Paramedic and a veteran I am glad to see somebody is finally doing something to remember all the brave souls that fought in the Great War. I will certainly do what i can to further your endeavor to creat a national memorial, so that all that visit Washington will never forget the sacrafices of those who gave all in the name of their country. God Bless you, and thank you for your service.

I also work for the VA and want to thank you for your service, God Bless you

I was looking up birthday's in February and ran across your name and found out how old you were and that you were in WWI and WWII and was overly impressed so. I wanted to meet you Because my two of my Grandfathers were in WWII and I have been donating 5 dollars when i can to the Disabled Veterans because my grandfather had got wounded on a bridge that was blown up while he was driving an ambulance for Gen. Patton

On this last day of 2009, I could not think of a better way to celebrate, than to celebrate your long life, and your long service to this great nation. For whatever days that may be left to you: Know that we who are your legacy, thank you; salute you; and wish you every happy return. Very humbly and respectfully yours, Michael B. Johnson Red Bluff, California

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well. This nation truely thanks you for your noble service, and your continued service to bring forth a memorial to honor those that served in the War that ushered this country into the global spotlight. Peace was achieved then, and I strongly believe it can be achieved again. We must honor you, and the men you served with, as they are NEVER to be forgotten. Semper Fidelis, Cpl Jacob Allen USMC

Hi Frank, hope all is well with you and yours in West Virginia. I will send you a card soon. Take care, johnmc., Lubbock, TX, Texas Tech University.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Mr. Buckles; May God bless you in the ways he knows best & you need the most. Thank you for your service to America & our allies. Thank you for working for our WW I Memorial. Appreciatively; John M. Sibley, Jr.

My son Samuel, 4th Grade, just finished a project on WW1 and we had the joy of learning of you and your efforts to have a memorial put up. We would love to help that happen. We thank you and honor you for your service and all you do. Thank You!

Dear Mr. Buckles, Thank you for your service to our country. As a Vietnam era vet, I'm appalled that you and your compatriots never got a memorial. I will write to my congressmen today! God Bless You & Yours.

God bless you, sir.

Dear Mr. Buckels, I want to thank you for your service to our Country and I support your efforts in getting a WW1 Monument Built in Washington. You are a True Blue American Patriot!!!!!!! God Bless You, Jerry Sims Gulfport, MS

Mr. Buckles, thank you for your continuing efforts in support of our veterans. Happy Holidays, and may God Bless.

Mr Buckles, I hope that you will be able to place a Memorial in the USA capital for yourself and your comrades. World War One has always been in the shadow of WW2 and this is shows yet again why... Although my country was neutral, I am sure it will also be very important for many generations to come, including Europeans. Regards, Paul (Netherlands)

I am in support of your effort for the WWI Memorial. My father also served in WWI. So, to honor all who served, I want to thank you for your efforts and your service to our country. May God Bless you, Sir. Sincerely, Pat (Wolsker) Michaud

Sir, I wish you success in your quest for the WW1 memorial and will support the cause for this endeavor. I believe it to be a possibility that my mother is your niece. Her mothers' name was Tina Buckles, and her siblings were Ann, Tom and Frank. If so, I have extra reason to be so proud of your service to this great country and your goals to memorialize those who worked, fought, and gave there lives to keep it that way. Thank you Sir.

Dear Frank W. Buckles: Thanks for your efforts to gain recognition of the service and sacrifices of WWI veterans. Please include my uncle, Charles Henry Ritchey, in the listing of such veterans. He became the first Gold Star soldier from Jefferson County, Indiana when he died in France on 24 Jan 1918, just 2 months and 4 days after enlisting at Madison, Indiana. Like you, he was an ambulance driver (22nd Ambulance Company, US Army, WWI). Charles Henry's circa 1917 diary reveals issues and self-debates, i.e. intellectual thoughts and emotional feelings, involved in his decision to enlist without waiting to be summoned by the Draft Act passed on 5 June 1917. Our family will gladly donate a copy of this diary for display in a monument dedicated in Washington, DC to honor WWI veterans.

Mr. Buckles, thank you for your service for our country. I am currently working on a degree to become a history teacher. In recent years I've become an avid World War I entusiast and simply don't understand why your generation of Veterans have been mistreated so badly by our own goverment and especially in history books. There is not much literature on "The Great War" which in hand makes it our responsibilty as Americans today, to tell your story and the stories of the all the Veterans of World War I so that none will forget tomorrow. I will do what I can Sir, to contact my Senators and Congressmen so that they will do the right thing in enshrining the Veterans of World War properly by proclaiming a glorious and triumphant Memorial in your memory.

No war shoud ever be a "forgotten war." I wuold like to thank you for serving our country when it needed you, there should be a memorial for those who fought and died in the First World War. -John Jackson

Myself and family are in debt to you and those you stood with. God speed.

Dear Frank: My father was a fellow doughboy. I am also a Army Veteran. Trust me when I say, "every arm will be twisted in your support". In 1956 my Dad wrote President begging him not to create Veteran's Day. He feared that if the eleventh hour was forgotten, so would be the importance of Peace. God Bless You & Keep You Well.

Dear Frank, You are truly a great man. It is thanks to men like you that not only America, but also us Europeans are free people this day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Dear Mr. Buckles, I thank you for your dedication and service to our country. I am a current veteran of 17 years and I hadnt realized that there isnt a memorial to you and your fellow comrades of WWI. I will definately contact my representatives and encourage them to vote for what is rightfully overdue... a Nat'l WWI Memorial! Thanks again for your service.

Dear Mr. Buckles, I was a former internee with you in the Santo Tomas prison camp in Manila,Philippines during WW11. My family was Gene and Eileen Faggiano. Your name sounds very familiar to me. Keep up your good work on the WW1 memorial. Your former S.T.I.C. friend

Bless you for continuing to tell your story and those of all the others that served with you. Yes there should be a memeorial in The United States in recognition of your sevice, and the other lives lost during the first world war. Thank-you sir.

The service, the sacrifice that you and your commarades did for our freedom is too often forgotten. Almost 120,000 men died in just 8 months makes us want to think as they did that the Great War was the war to end all. But we seem to continue refuse to evolve or forget our lessons. I think a proper monument on the mall is more than due as a reminder. Thank you

Thank you Mr. Buckles and God bless you

I salute you sir. You are keeping the fires of patriotism alive. Many in my family were soldiers in WWI or sacrificed for the war effort in other ways. My hat is off to you. Thank you for your service to our country and the soldiers of WWII.

I heard about your story and admire your quest to have this Memorial constructed in Washington D.C. and will urge my elected representatives to support the bill to help make your wish come true as "the last man standing." It is inspiring to know you are still around and so civically active in this cause. I also read your amazing biography and can only imagine how much wisdom you have accumulated from such a full and long life. Thank you for your service to our country and for the inspiration your story has given me!

Thank you Mr. Buckles.

Frank, your story must be great. I only learned of it this morning in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I was raised in Baguio City and acquainted with missionaries and gold miners who were trapped along with yourself in the Philippines when the Japanese invaded the islands. I am sure that you were imprisioned with some of them and others. Just yesterday, I finished reading the book "The Edge of Terror" about the foriegners on the island of Panay, at that time. Several of them had children in Santo Thomas. I will be looking for any written material about your life. Thank you for your contibution to America and the world. I will be sure to visit the WWI memorial as I have the WWII and Vietnam memorial. God Bless Jeff Schuchmann

dear sir I admire him and support him I hope he will honor our soldiers who lived as well as a great hell you took him in my prayers I served my country and I live in central america I hope in God will honor our fallen bless you and thank you jesus because there

Cpl. Buckles, thank you for the tireless sacrifices that you made both during the war and towards this memorial. It is because of veterans like yourself that we should be a nation that not only remembers or veterans but should honor them.

Dear Mr Buckles, upon reading this. *In World War II, he worked for a US shipping company in the Philippines and was captured by the Japanese, spending three years in a prison camp.* Let me, say, Thank You So Much! and to All the Rest who, Sacrificed lending their Service by trying to better our Country PI. You're All including in my prayer esp, with your wish, Sir, in regards the WWI. Once again, Really Appreciate and a Million Thanks to All of YOU!

you and all the other ww1 men will not be forgten thank you tom. k

Dear Mr Buckles, I was rejuvenated when I saw the story of your efforts to bring attention to the WWI memorial building in Washington D.C. In 2007 I saw it through a mass of trees and wondered why it is so hidden. You have made me realize that it is worth trying to help that structure become more visible. Your efforts are very commendable, thank you very much.

Page 8A, Des Moines Register 12-4-09 (Des Moines, IA) @ top of page I have just read of your personnel efforts visiting Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. yesterday to encourage the support for a World War I memorial on the National Mall in D.C. It is time.

Dear Sir, I am a Marine in Argentina and I saw your article in a BBC report. A brother of my grand father died during the WWI too and I think the veterans who died in this ward would have a monument where futures generations will remember them forever.

Mr. Buckles, From one veteran of war to another, "Keep fighting the good fight!" Men from the preceding generations have always been my inspiration to go out and do my part, in the best, most honorable fashion I could. I hope and pray that I may one day be someone that inspires my following generations in the same manner. Thank you for all you have done, and all you continue to do, Joshua D. Reed AW2 (AW/NAC) US Navy 1999-2008

Dear Sir, I read about you on the BBC website. I wish you all the best and hope you succeed! Meg, Geneva, Switzerland

Dear Mr. Buckles, As a U.S. Paratrooper, I would like to thank you, for your service to our country Sir. The REAL Heroes of this country aren't Athletes; Actors or, Singers. A true Hero, is someone like you! Best Wishes! John Cline Jr.

Wonderful to see Mr. Buckles on CNN today! He made quite an impression upon me many years ago. I am very glad to see that he still is impressing people, including Congressional members with his story.

Dear Frank: I read about your story and it saddens me. You are a member of a generation who lived in an America that was not a superpower, but a struggling nation searching for its identity. You and your fellow veterans answered the call and should be forever honored properly. It is an atrocity that WWI Veterans are not honored in the same light as other veterans. Although the U.S. was not involved, the WWI Christmas Truce of 1914 is possibly the finest display of the decency of man ever! I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and we will be thinking of you. I hope soon we can visit the fruits of you labor. Thank you Sincerely Michael Bernardo

Dear Mr.Buckles I would like to thank you for your service to your country.I also hope you're able to get the WWI memorial re-done so all who served can be honored and remembered for all time and you all deserve this for your sacrifice.Again thank you so very much.

Thank You Mr. Buckles for your service to our country - not only during your active duty but for your lifelong mission of education and respect you colleagues deserve. We will never forget those who have made possible the American Way.

Dear Sir-Thank you for your service and thank you for bringing attention to the WWI Memorial. I am writing my senators and congressmen to encourage them to support this effort.You are an inspiration to all Americans.

i support the monument for wwi. my grandfather was in wwii in bataan.

Thank you Sir for your service and what you continue to do.Growing up I had a World War 1 veteran for a neighbor ,his stories will stay with me forever ,he lives on in my heart.God Bless you Sir and keep you safe.

I wanted to thank you sir for your service to our country and the world both during the war and now. You are an inspiration. God bless you and your family.

Dear Mr Buckles, I am a Seventh Army specialist (WWII) but I am writing a book on the AEF in WWI in the Meuse-Argonne region. If you were part of it you will be in my book. When I joined the 42d Rainbow Division Association in 1986, there were about 30 WWI members, veterans and wives. The last one I knew traveled to France in 1995, he re-visited the places near the Vosges mountains where he had been in the Spring of 1918. he was 1995 years old. His grandson has made an excellent video of his experiences. I agree with you, there should be a national WWI monument on the Mall. Let me know what I can do to support your project. Warm regards, Lise Pommois

Thank you for your service. War is so terrible, dont we all wish it didnt have to happen the way it has. It seems so recent yet its nearly 100 years ago.. I hope people dont forget what happenned.

Dear Mr. Buckles, You have an amazing story and life and I truly honor you for all you have done for your country and your fellow soldiers that you served along side. I hope that your wish of seeing a WW1 memorial comes true soon. What a lasting memory that will be and an honor so overdo for these fighting men who lived and died for our freedom. Thank you again for all have have and continue to do for this great land of America. In Christ, Roy Naylor

Dear Mr. Buckles, What an honor and a privilege to write you. My. father Robert C. Schmucker Sr. also served in World War I. I pledge my help in seeing this memorial is built. It is the least this country can do for all the fellows that served. This is a memory that never should be forgotten. Sincerely, Robert C. Schmucker Jr.

I hope they make a memorial for World War 1 . : )

Thank you for your service and Happy Next Birthday!

Thank you Mr. Buckles and God bless. I had two grandfathers that served in France with the US Army in WWI. Both survived, one that I never met who passed in 1948 from injuries he had received in the war and the other who I worshipped in 1981. Both men led to my interest in WWI. Thank you again for all you have done in your long life.

May God bless you Mr. Buckles. thanks you for your willingness to serve our country for so many years!

Mr Buckles, I have been hearing about you for about 3 years now and so admire you. My husband's family is also from West Virginia and he is in Iraq right now. He was there with the Air Force and after 24 years of service he retired and went back as a civilian. My brother in law retired from the Army with about 25 years, after reaching the rank of Major General. So many in my family are military veterans and I thank God for all of you. God bless you always, Hazel

Just a note on this Veterans' Day to say thank you for your service to our country, and for representing the troops of WWI with such humility and dignity. I teach at Bethel Seminary in San Diego, and this week classes have been praying a special grace and strength for you. With blessings, Jim & Linda Smith

A WWI memorial in Washington seems only appropriate. My great grandfather also served in WWI & II, and I thank you all for your service.

God Speed a great American Hero.

Happy Veterans Day Mr. Buckles. Thanks for your service. I will write my congressman in support of a World War I memorial.

All of America thanks you for your service to your nation. I have contacted my congressman to support HR 482. Blessings

Thank you for your service and I hope we do place a memorial in DC for all those that served during WWI including my grandfather. Perhaps WWI reenactors like myself will pull together to get this goal accomplished. it's an honor to know of you and your service to America, Thank you sir!

Praying for you and your endeavors with the WWI memorial campaign. My son Seth Whitt pictured on your website below ( cleaning the WWI Memorial ) is still on a mission to see the memorial gain national status and recognition for all WWI vets. Thanks for all you have and are doing for our country.

Frank, I heard about you through the VA. I am a nurse and so enjoy caring for veterans. I was saddened to learn that there is no memorial for all of our vets who served in WWI.

I pledge to do what I can to make the "forgotten war" unforgettable.

I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY. THANK YOU.

GOD BLESS!!!!!!
