Dear Listers, In today's N. Y. Post newspaper dated today, Ernest Charles Pusey, one of America's longest living World War I veterans, died a little over a week after he was honored with a medal for his service to the country, family members said. His death in Bradenton, Florida left fewer than 25 living U. S. veterans of World War I out of nearly 5 million who served according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. He was presented with a WW I Victory Medal on Nov. 10th, the day before our Veterans Day. Pusey did not recall receiving a medal after the war, and nobody could find any evidence that he had. In the name of my generation, we thank you for your military service. Janice USA
