• 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

Story Here

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.
