In March, President Bush waived the requirements after years of lobbying by Ken Buckles, who also is executive director of Oregon’s Remembering America’s Heroes. The nonprofit has organized Living History Day at Milwaukie High School for 13 years to recognize veterans.
Upon his death, Frank Buckles will be buried at Arlington, attended by a military chaplain and a casket team of six people who will carry the remains. Seven riflemen will fire shots and a bugler from the U.S. Army band will play taps.
