Old Soldiers Fading Away

Michael Barone and I met at a national political convention some years ago.  I recently suggested he do a piece on who in Congress served in World War II and was still around.  It looks like the death of Senator Lautenberg prompted such a piece and this elgiac piece out today is moving and  interesting--including the last Spanish American War veteran serving-as well as World War II.  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/06/06/with_lautenberg_gone_ww_ii_vets_fade_from_politics_118702.html
