America's Oldest Veteran Dies, One Month After Meeting Obama

President Obama meeting with Emma Didlake

        One month after meeting President Barack Obama, veteran Emma Didlake dies at the age of 110. Didlake joined the Woman's Army Auxiliary Corps, joined the Detroit chapter of the NAACP, became an activist in the Civil Rights Movement and marched with Martin Luther King Jr. Didlake was a true American Hero. After years of service to our country, including civil rights, she got to meet our first African American President, this must of been very rewarding to think that all her hard work had paid off and was greatly appreciated. Because of her bravery, President Obama personally thanked her for her service to our country. She lived a successful and accomplished life, and got to go with great peace that she had helped and is a true American influence.
