Hundreds of visitors to Arlington National Cemetery filed through the Memorial Amphitheater Chapel March 15 to pay respects to America’s last "Doughboy," as an honor guard from the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) stood watch over the flag-draped casket of Cpl. Frank Buckles.Buckles, who died Feb. 27 at 110 years old, was America’s last World War I veteran.Buckles had enlisted at the age of 16 by reportedly convincing an Army captain that he was older.He was the last living American doughboy to have served in France during World War I, and the last of 4.7 million U.S. troops who fought the Kaiser 94 years ago.Buckles later spent three years as a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II after being captured in the Pacific while serving as a U.S. contractor.He died of natural causes at his home in Charles Town, W.Va."It was really something to think that [he] is the last American from the First World War," Albert Berkowitz, a former soldier, said. "And it just made me think, that in 20 or 25 years, it’ll probably be the Second World War that this will be happening for."Berkowitz was in the Army, as a private first class, from 1963-1965. He served as a microwave technician in Japan, first at Camp Tomlinson in Kashiwa, then in Okinawa. "It was great duty," he said.Corey O’Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, was also visiting the cemetery and passed through the chapel with his mother, Kathryn and brother, Ethan. He clutched a World War II history book in his hand.Buckle’s casket remained in the chapel at the cemetery until 4 p.m., when the Old Guard took it to the burial site in the cemetery.Buckles was buried with full military honors in Section 34 of the cemetery, within sight of Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing, leader of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. (ANS)
