Frank Buckles — Arlington Cemetery Makes Historic Exception for Last WW I Veteran
Posted by Robbie Cooper on April 16th, 2008 | TrackbackSen. Byrd should be embarrassed. He was probably too busy naming building after himself to properly honor a true West Virgina hero. Which also goes to show that when you need something done, call a Texan!

When Patriots Stand up To Pinkos
