WASHINGTON -- Emma Didlake, the nation's oldest known veteran, passed away Sunday, one month after visiting the White House and meeting with President Barack Obama.
Didlake's granddaughter told the San Antonio Express-News that the 110-year-old had felt tired over the past few days and showed signs of failing health.
"It was a month ago today that we went to the White House," said Marilyn Horne. "I think she felt she had accomplished everything and could take her rest."
