SUN CITY CENTER, Fla. (BP)--Keeping kids warm in a rural one-room schoolhouse in Missouri wasn't an easy task for young Harry Landis.
Trudging outside in the snow to where two young girls had driven up in their horse and buggy, he patiently snatched a wool blanket over their laps and showed them how to properly tuck it in so the frigid air didn't grab their legs on the way to school -- causing them to complain all day.
At 107, one of the last known veterans of World War I, once called the war to end all wars, he's not forgotten how to care. Reaching over to cover his 100-year-old wife, Eleanor, with a blanket, he plants a kiss on her cheek.

Well, he died happy and that's not easy for a person of his age.
