#VeteranOfTheDay: Army Veteran Frank Levingston

Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Frank Levingston of the U.S. Army. Frank enlisted in the Army in 1942, a little less than a year after the Pearl Harbor attacks. Frank served as a private during the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943 and did a tour in North Africa. He was honorably discharged in 1945 and spent much of his post-military life in the cement finishing business. In December 2015, Levingston was part of a group of Veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony marking the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.

Frank passed away on May 3, 2016, at 110 years old. At the time of his death, he was the oldest living American man and was the oldest verified surviving American WWII Veteran. We honor his service.
