World War I veteran Buckles dies
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. — Frank Buckles, Jefferson County’s most famous living citizen and the last surviving U.S. veteran of World War I, died Sunday, according to a spokeswoman for a Washington, D.C., funeral home where Buckles’ body was being held Sunday night.
The lower left side of our nest looks as if the wind has done a good deal of damage...come on Lib and Belle, we need damage control:)
Megan since they switched - the switch that YOU saw - is it Lib in the nest now?
Good Morning Wanda - Suddenly I'm flung over to a new page! Wasn't paying attention to the page split!
TA-DUH!
I'm wondering why Mr. Buckles body has been taken to Washington, DC?
I thought his friends and relatives were mostly in Jefferson County. Anyone here who wishes to pay their last respects, will have to travel to DC:(
Yes, Lori, that would be Lib in the nest, now. He got there by a switch and a wiggle:)
Wanda, I'm sure they're planning a special ceremony for Mr. Buckles. He'll probably lie in repose in the Rotunda, or something like that. It's a very big deal. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't recognized with a special observance.
You are right, Lori, Mr. Buckles deserves High Honors. Hope he just died peacefully in his sleep.
I read in the Wash Post that he died peacefully of natural causes. AMEN.
Wanda, Here's the link for the article.
Last World War I veteran Frank W. Buckles dies at 110
Monday, Monday......rain and thunder over the valley and mountains!
Got an email from Lynne during the night. They are greatly improving...resting better. Steve going back to work today. Lynne had no fever yesterday. She'll be on here later!!
Praises! So glad to hear Lynne and Steve are feeling better.
Good Morning Lynn!
thank you Lynn about Lynne and Steve
great relief !!
was listening to the bluebird at NCTC
it has moved on now
thanks Megan
for the weather report, you are doing a great job with that
Could be an interesting Sound and Video day at our nest :(
Good Monday Morning Eagle Pals
About Mr. Buckles, our last WWI Soldier, from the Post article:
"And despite the ailments of age, he went on championing his favorite cause: a proposal to refurbish the District of Columbia's neglected World War I monument and rededicate it as a national memorial."
"Mr. Buckles wanted a grave site at Arlington and a traditional white marble headstone. And he will get his wish."
heard red-winged blackbirds and killdeer yesterday
Springtime is moving in
Last day of the month....no leap year this year....
Bring on March !! More daylight!
Thanks Lolly for the Bear Video links....neat !
Hope everyone has a good day...
back in awhile ttfn xo
Jo sent an email around MN about Mr. Buckles....heard it on the news first thing this AM, got her email and now have paper infront of me. He sure lived a long, full life. Just too bad that he didn't get to see the WW I memorial project completed.
Thanks, Lori, for the news article.
I thought it would probably be in the planning to bury him at Arlington.
I was waiting on the Capt. to get up before I turned on the coffee maker...he woke up and then, went back to sleep. So, coffee is in the making now and he will just have to drink stale coffee:)
Looking out my window, sun is shining and it's 43°. Might go out for a while, AFTER my coffee.
Gene and I went downstairs after church services and our clothes rack is filled to capacity, some wonderful shoes placed neatly on the floor and bags of children's clothing:) WONDERFUL...ask and you shall receive!
What is the clothing (and shoes) for, Wanda?
beautiful brown spring colors at the Still Cam
Our first delivery of food from the MOUNTAINEER FOOD BANK is being delivered Thursday...450# of meat and vegetables. We don't know what kind of meat it is, just said 'meat' on the order form and chicken chunks, whatever that is. I'm sure we can make a fine meal out of whatever it is:)
Now, we will be able to feed and clothe the multitudes, YEA!
Beautiful morning to you, Margy!
I'm sure that Mr. Buckles will be buried at Arlington which may be wh y he's at DC funeral home, and news did say natural causes, in his sleep.
Lori, Gene and I work at our church Soup Kitchen and that has been going well. Now we are getting free or low cost food from the Food Bank.
We have had some of our dinner guests ask if we had clothing. So we went to our pastor and asked him to announce to the congregation that we need clothing and they have responded beautifully!
Geula----enjoy your nap! Forgot the time difference for a moment!!
Wanda, know what you mean about the mess outside. Mine isn't trash....but sticks and limbs and branches!!
Loved the Jason/Hope video! She's a very good sister!
Paula, so cool about your own little beach aviary!!!
Isn't that PH saga funny? All of the efforts for cam on new nest, and those birds just said "tootles" and moved on!!!
Oh, Bless you hearts, Wanda. That is so great! Anyway I can help?
babies alone at BWE and nest pretty much devoid of food...
bet that will be changing soon
Oh, okay, Lori....thanks for filling-in on the burial info.
Lynn, all those birds by Paula's beach house - that is a dream! How cool! I'd never leave it!
Good beautiful day to you too Lori, and everyone else...
getting started on the Me-do list today since ther is no Honey to push it off on...
back later on...
xoxox
Oh, thanks for the offer, Lori♥
We are pretty well set with helpers, but I'll let you know if we can use you in some capacity:)
Wanda...waht's the best way to get clothing to the clothes closet ?
please and thanks when you have time
xo
Some of the children from the church are coming to help us next Tuesday, by making placemats and setting the tables. Most of them didn't know exactly what a Soup Kitchen is and how it works, so I suggested they come for a little while and see for themselves. I'm excited to help them learn about helping the hungry and homeless.
That is so neat, Wanda...wonderful idea, and it will surely be a wonderful experience for the children and the dinner guests!
I wish James could be a part of that....he is such a People Person !
Church members have been taking clothing downstairs, putting them in the Clothes Closet, others can do the same or call Gene and I and we will pick up (soon as he gets the van running again..today I hope). SK Tuesdays is a good day to bring clothing to us.
feeding time at BWE
James did seem to be excited when you two came to the Soup Kitchen. He loves to GO, doesn't he?
Be sure to tell him that we are using his Lemonade now!
okay Wanda...sounds like a good plan, I think I am on dayshift next week !!
emails and phone calls and bill-paying time here
Best wishes for a good, safe, healthy day to all !
Wind blowing at nest....but not here. Looks like we are going to get another dump here....off and on since I got up! Sudden downpours, then sun, and repeat, repeat!
Switch just happened, too.
and bird off the eggs at NCTC
Wow, both parents doing the feeding at BWE
Oh-oh.....tornado watch in effect until 4pm in our county.
oh - be careful and safe those of you in tornado watch area.
I'm gonna wrap up here and will be back this afternoon.
Truly Wanda if there's any way I can contribute please let me know.
Have a great day you all, Lynn, Margy, Wanda. Hugs to you, too!
More oh no----possible 70mph wind gusts.
Bye, Lori. Drive carefully and get a good nap!
Steve has given us a RAINY DAY and MONDAY thread. COME JOIN ME ON THE OTHER SIDE*************************
***********************************
Very hard downpour. Satellite out for a few minutes. Lights have blinked. Doesn't look like anything is hitting nest....yet!
Oh, yeah, wind is t neat now for sure.....
Make that AT NEST....duh! Typing too fast.
Belle is going for a wild ride in that tree.
Good wild rainy weather folks. I knew it would be hitting the nest soon. Was raining like a blizzard of snow but instead rain.
Need to read some comments.
Hedgie-Lynn hope your sister Gail is doing better.
How's the weather at the nest now? I hope that there won't be any late snow!
This eaglecam of ours is great! I've never had such a clear pic and as easy a time to get into the site...and the position is fantastic...we get to see the whole nest from above. Of course there will be some heartstopping moments while viewing poop shoots but hey!
