Post France Honors Last World War I Veteran
"France unfurled its military majesty yesterday in honor of its last World War I veteran, Lazare Ponticelli, who died last week at age 110, and the 8.4 million other Frenchmen who served in the conflict. President Nicholas Sarkozy unveiled a plaque at Les Invalides, the gold-domed edifice where Napoleaon I is buried, to honor Ponticelli and other Frenchmen who served in the war."
