    Frank Buckles, U.S. Army, World War I, 'The Last Doughboy'
    2026/11/11
    On November 11, 1918, World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. American forces were decisive in helping the Allies finally win the war that had raged for more than four brutal years. But it came at a price. Well over 100,000 Americans died in the war and another 200,000 were wounded. In all, more than 4.7 million Americans served in the war, including nearly three million who went to Europe.

    On February 27, 2011, America's last World War I veteran passed away. Frank Buckles was 110 years old. Four years before that, we visited with Mr. Buckles to learn his story.

    In this special edition of Veterans Chronicles, you'll learn about the determination of Mr. Buckles to join the Army despite not being old enough, the reaction in Europe when the Americans arrived and when the war ended, how he ended up in a Japanese prison camp for more than three years as a private citizen during World War II and much more.

    Don't miss this special feature on America's last World War I veteran.

  • SGT Scotty Hasting, U.S. Army, Afghanistan

    SGT Scotty Hasting, U.S. Army, Afghanistan
    2026/11/04
    Scotty Hasting is now a popular country music singer but his story of service will explain a lot about the performer you see today.

    Hasting grew up in the Cincinnati, Ohio-Northern Kentucky area and developed immense respect for the U.S. military from the movies and television shows he watched. He enlisted in the Army at age 21, which quickly made him the "old man" in basic training. Hasting wanted to serve in the infantry because he wanted to be in the fight. Just a few months after basic training, he was off to Afghanistan with the 4-4 Cav. In April 2011, Hasting was severely wounded after being shot 10 times by an enemy gunman.

    In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Hasting takes us to the day he was wounded in great detail. He explains how his brothers in the 4-4 Cav responded to his wounds and got him evacuated. He will also share how close he came to dying shortly after everyone in Kandahar thought he was stable enough to fly to Germany.

    He also tells us about his recovery at Walter Reed and his determination to return to active duty with his unit despite his wounds. Hasting then describes the path that led him to music and a very unlikely career in country music where he focuses a lot on helping veterans. He even shares a powerful story about how one veteran who planned to commit suicide changed his mind after hearing one of Scotty's song.

    Robert Saunders, Jr. did not come from a family with a history of military service, but both he and his brother joined the U.S. Marine Corps during some of the most intense fighting in Vietnam. After making it through Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island and infantry training at Camp Geiger. Saunders was assigned to 1st Battalion, 26th Marines. He served in Vietnam from 1969-1970.

    In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Saunders tells us about his USMC training, why he was delayed in being deployed to Vietnam, and how the war became very real the first day he was there. He also describes his role as a forward observer on Hill 364 near Da Nang and combat that he faced there.

    Saunders also details going on patrols and even into villages trying to pick up intelligence about the NVA or Viet Cong. He also shares what it was like to learn about the moon landing while he was in Vietnam and then meeting the man who took that "giant leap for mankind" just a few months later.

    Finally, you'll learn how the hostility toward our returning service members kept Saunders from sharing his story for many years. But he also reveals how opening up and returning to Vietnam in 2025 helped him a great deal.
