I remember like two years ago I looked up this list and there were like 20 people, now there are only 3 people.

Not really they have to die at some point and it was roughly 70-80 years ago

Its not surprising, if you were 18 in 1918 you'd be at least 110 now.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Hear that? It's the sound of time running out. It's no surprise, why should we pay that much attention?

I agree but disagree with you, yes they deserve to get some attention and respect but really depending on where u are (Canada,u.s.a) they never fought for your rights because your country was never in any real danger.they fought for someone elses rights......and that deserves alot more respect

Face it, they're all going to die eventually. It's an interesting fact, but meh. History is history. No need to dwell on it.

How is this a debatable issue anyway?
