JEFFERSON COUNTY, MD - A message was broadcast around the world Tuesday in honor of veterans everywhere, and its signal came from the Charles Town farm of Frank Buckles, America’s last living World War I veteran. Frank Woodruff Buckles was 17 when the Armistice was signed in France and ended the war to end all wars. Now at 107 he’s the sole representative of the almost five million Americans who served in the Great War. I knew that I would be among the last, but I didnt know that I would be the last, Buckles said. To honor Buckles and veterans everywhere, the Eastern Panhandle Amateur Radio Club (EPARC) set up a special event station on Buckles’ Charles Town farm. The radio operators talked to people in the Caribbean and as far west as Montana. The FCC designated specific call letters for the special event so the ham radio operators in Charles Town sent out their signal under WW1 FWB, which stands for World War I, Frank W. Buckles. EPARC members say the response from federal officials was unprecedented.
