Their all, almost gone now!
-- Ernest Charles Pusey, 111 years old and nattily attired in a dress shirt and light blue cardigan, smiled slightly when Gov. Jeb Bush walked in his trailer Friday and gave him a medal for helping win World War I.
Pusey - his friends call him ``Ernie''- wasn't feeling too talkative but seemed to enjoy the hubbub surrounding the awarding of his World War I Victory Medal and a visit from the governor on the day before Veteran's Day.
``It looks pretty good, doesn't it?'' Bush said, placing the glass-encased medal on the table next to Pusey's recliner.
Pusey is indeed special. He's one of just 15 living World War I veterans _ out of nearly 5 million who served _ and the only one in Florida.
Over there,... Over there,... the Yanks are coming, ...the Yanks are coming and they won't be back till it's over.... over there!
