| WOW! 110 years old! A man who needs to be respected as a good patriot, and example of life for all people who knew him, for sure.

| I'd be interested to know what the Revolutionary War guy thought about the Civil War. He fought to make this a country, and then it was torn apart by war. At least he lived to see it together again. | |

I'd never thought of that. It would be interesting. Hey, Lori, did you know there are actual photos of Revolutionary War vetarans? I was just looking for them online just now, but couldn't find them. I've seen them online before somewhere, though. There are about half a dozen of them, taken in the mid-1800s when the vets were all pushing 100. | |
