Harry Patch, the last British veteran of WW I has died. His funeral can be seen here.
The passing of this 111 year old "Tommy" is a reminder that history lives among us in living people. Understanding is there for us too, if we only take the time to seek it. Most of us are not given as much time on earth as Mr. Patch, so how many stories of WW II, Korea, Vietnam and the home front will be lost between the time I write this and the time you read it? A tragedy that much be addressed by us all.
