Here is a news item I cannot resist passing along:
Charlotte Winters, oldest American female World War I veteran, dies at 109
[Episcopal News Service] Charlotte Louise Berry Winters was the oldest living American female World War I veteran until her death March 27 at a nursing home near Boonsboro, Maryland. She was 109.
A member of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Frederick, Maryland, and a Daughter of the King, Winters was a Civil War buff who met face-to-face with the Secretary of the Navy to fight for women in the military.
Her death leaves just five known surviving American World War I veterans.

Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord;
And let light perpetual shine upon her.
May her soul, and the souls of all the departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in Peace. Amen.
