Jozef Kowalski doesn't even belong on this list. There is no citation for an enlistment date and nothing that explicitly states he was a veteran of that war. He is no more a veteran of WWI than my cousin is a veteran of Korea (the state of war in Korea has never ended). There is also a technicality that allows service members in the U.S. to declare themselves a veteran of the Gulf War for compensation. To say he was a veteran of WWI even with a citation for the enlistment date would be [[WP:SYNTH|synthesis]].

*'''Comment''' this is not a one-entry list, removing Jozef still leaves a list around with entries. [[Special:Contributions/65.93.15.125|65.93.15.125]] ([[User talk:65.93.15.125|talk]]) 05:23, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
