The very last WW I veteran has died. It was a woman.

She was born before the invention of powered flight, then still in her youth served in the Royal Air Force, and at the age of 68 saw men land on the moon…
Not a lot happened after that, did it?
MfK,
I wonder if she was of that aged group who never believed we landed on the moon?
I remember my neighbor Mr. Brewster. He was a Doughboy. Has been gone for nearly 30 years now. He was a fine fellow.
Yeah, not quite out of living memory for those who lived to know them.
