Talk:Nathan E. Cook

Untitled
I changed He survived the war, becoming the longest surviving U.S. war veteran when he died in 1992 at age 106. Mostly, I just wondered about the phrasing: he became the longest surviving one when he died? Very few people are the surviving anything after they die. He became the longest surviving veteran whenever the guy before him died. FZ 15:54, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC) (only slightly tongue-in-cheek)

--12.2.10.242 (talk) 19:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC) I don't understand this: "Cook enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a cabin boy on April 9, 1901".

The Spanish-American war was n 1898. How does he qualify as a veteran if it if doesn't join the navy until several years later? shut up pppl nobody cares — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.138.114.226 (talk) 15:26, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
