Lloyd Brown, a 104-year-old World War I veteran takes a moment to pause as he remembers being in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard with his ship the day WW I ended, at his home in Charlotte Hall, Md., Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2005. Brown remembers Armistice Day in 1918 as few, ever so few, veterans can. 'For the servicemen there were lots of hugs and kisses,' he recalls Brown, a teenage seaman aboard the battleship USS New Hampshire when the fighting stopped. 'We were so happy that the war was over.' Now 104, Brown adds, 'There's not too many of us around any more.' No one knows exactly how many of America's World War I veterans will celebrate Veterans Day, which marks the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, that ended what then was considered the Great War. An estimated 2 million Americans served in Europe after the U.S. entered the war in 1917. Today, just eight veterans as receiving disability benefits or pension compensation from service in World War I. (AP Photo/Chris Gardner) -
