VETERANS DAY Nov.11, 2006
Veterans Day, which is Saturday, was once called Armistice
Day.
It marked the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918
when the guns fell silent in Europe, and the doughboys and sailors and
Marines who'd gone to fight World War I could come home.
In the 88 years since, these men, too, have fallen silent.
More than 4 million Americans served in World War I. Only 14 are left.
The youngest is 106, the oldest 115.
Tony
Pierro, who is 110 years old, is the last living U.S. veteran to have
seen action at the bloody Meuse and Argonne offensives. An average of
a thousand Americans died each day in the three weeks of fighting. "I
want to forget all those bad days. Thank God I came out alive," he says.
Some of the men were drafted; several of them lied about their age to
enlist. These men fought a war that isn't talked about much anymore. They
lived before the invention of the airplane and beyond the advent of the
Internet. Will Everett crisscrossed the country to interview as many of
the survivors of the Great War as he could find. These are their stories
-- about their battlefield experiences, the horrors of the trenches and
what the war taught them.
