• Navy veteran Charlotte Winters dies at 109 in Maryland • Only five American veterans of WWI remain alive • Winters in 1916 asked Navy secretary to let women in military • She retired from U.S. Naval Reserve in 1953
Her death leaves just five known surviving American World War I veterans. Ignoring the uselessness of that war, it must be noted that those veterans answered their country's call.
