Is surprising we won that war, what with all the old guys serving.  By the way, I think Andrew Jackson served in the Revolutionary War and their are some old photos of him.

Thanks, Jake.  I think Americans are used to thinking of Civil war, World war Two, and Vietnam vets, but somehow AWI vets never got much press.

I object to the term "veteran" for these guys.

This is great, thanks Jacob! The stories of their lives from the 1700s through the 1800s is fascinating stuff to read.

110 years old? :yeahright:

I suppose it's possible, but that seems extremely unlikely.
