The coffin of 110-year-old World War I veteran Lazare Ponticelli, who died last week, is carried by members of the Foreign Legion following a mass at the Invalides church in Paris, Monday March 17, 2008. Flags across France fell to half-staff as the nation honors the 8.5 million people who defended it in WWI, including Ponticelli, the man who outlived them all.
