From the Military.com site "This War of 1812 veteran saw the Battle of Gettysburg from his front porch -- then joined it" by Blake Stilwell, We Are the Mighty.
There have been veterans who have served from WW II, the Korean War and then Vietnam. But that was just the space of 24 years separating the beginning of World War II and Vietnam. But what about a veteran who fought in the War of 1812, Mexican War and then the Civil War?
That is a span of 50 years.
There was one man who did just that.
His name was John Burns.
