US President Barack Obama on Monday ordered flags flown at half-staff at the White House and other federal buildings to pay tribute to Frank Buckles, the last US veteran of World War I, who died this weekend at the age of 110.
The same sign of respect in Buckles’ memory will be paid at US military installations around the world, Obama said.
