Frank Buckles, The Last American Veteran Of WWI, Has Passed on

Just like that, living memory transfers exclusively to the domain of recorded or passed-down knowledge.

"Frank W. Buckles died Sunday, sadly yet not unexpectedly at age 110, having achieved a singular feat of longevity that left him proud and a bit bemused.

In 1917 and 1918, close to 5 million Americans served in World War I, and Mr. Buckles, a cordial fellow of gentle humor, was the last known survivor. "I knew there'd be only one someday," he said a few years back. "I didn't think it would be me."

Mr. Buckles, a widower, died on his West Virginia farm, said his daughter, Susannah Buckles Flanagan, who had been caring for him there.

  2. فى الغالب تكون اصابة البيوت بالحشرات من خلال حدوث غير صحيح او سهو من الزبائن مثل عدم اغلاق الفتحات الخاصه بالصرف لكلا من المطابخ والصرف الصحي في البيت حيث ان هذه الاماكن هي الاماكن المفضله لمعيشة الحشرات وخاصتا الصراصير و الفئران لذلك يلزم الانتباه طول الوقت بالتاكد من اغلاقها بالشكل الجيد ووفقا لذلك سكب المبيدات في هذه الفتحات الداخلية للبيت على نحو متواصل للوقاية.
