America's oldest living veteran is helping the nation mark Monday's 74th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by participating in a wreath-laying ceremony at the National World War II Memorial in the nation's capital.
Former Army private Frank Levingston, who turned 110 last month, served in Italy during World War II. He enlisted in 1942, shortly after the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack in Hawaii that killed 2,400 servicemembers and brought the United the States into the war.
The veteran from Lake Charles, La., who was discharged from the Army in 1945, traveled to Washington for the first time in his life on Sunday and will visit the White House on Tuesday, where he hopes to meet President Obama. "We don't know, we hope so," Allen Bergeron, who is coordinating Levingston's trip, said Monday.
After a breakfast of scrambled eggs, potatoes, coffee and orange juice at the Hilton Inn in Alexandria, Va., where he was staying, Levingston planned to join other veterans, including two Pearl Harbor survivors, during Monday's wreath-presentation ceremony.

Well done.
I say that to people and they look at me like I've lost my mind. 
I think they are trying hard to have "9/11" supplant December 7.
What an inspiration.
