It's the significance of the event, not the individual, that's important. As the last (known) living WWI survivor, he should be placed to honor all of his brothers in arms from that war. Same with the last WWII survivor, Korea, Vietnam, etc. When you're the last to go, it signals the end of a generation that gave their all in the defense of this country and that should be provided all the honor that we can bestow.
