Kraeer Pompano Beach Funeral old. He didn't have pneumonia," said Sharon Ward, volunteer service specialist at Carl Hayden VA Medical Center. "The passing of our nation's oldest war veteran is more than just an historical footnote," Veterans Affairs Secretary Edward J. Derwinski said in Washington. "Nathan Cook's life spanned a period in which America grew from a nation just emerging on the world scene, to become the greatest power on Earth." Mr.

Cook had said Navy life was tough but that it beat living on a farm in his native Missouri. During his military career, Mr. Cook's shipmates nicknamed him "Northeast," derived by his shipmates from his first two initials. When Mr. Cook turned 104, President Bush sent him a congratulatory letter, and guests watched a video presentation of his life.

Mr. Cook's younger daughter, Eleanor Kay of Tempe, said on his 104th birthday: "He was a Navy man throughout. Navy. Navy. Navy.

He lived for the Navy. Yes, he had a wife and family, and he enjoyed coming home to see them. But he also enjoyed getting back to his ship."
