British WWI veteran dies aged 108

I was sad (but not supprised) to see that one of the last surviving WW1 veterans had died.

Bill Stone served his country in 2 world wars. Thank you Bill.

There is a lot of commentary about saying that the youth of today would not rise to the demands that Bill’s era did, or those of the 30’s \ 40’s. Well let me give you some cheer. I’ve met the young guys serving on the frontline today, and despite being the playstation generation, they are as dedicated as I was (possibly more). The are facing hard, dangerous, and challenging missions, and they are rising to those challenges superply.

There is always hope!
