April 6, 1917. One hundred and nine years ago today, the United States entered the Great War: World War One. 116,516 Americans died in the war. 4.7 million served in the war. Today, none survive, the last doughboy - Frank W. Buckles - passing away in 2011. An epic moment of an epic war, 109 years ago today.
