On May 7, 2007, while speaking on the floor of the house, Poe used a quote from Civil War Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest when describing the military strategy that Poe felt the United States should have followed in Iraq.

In September 2008, Rep. Ted Poe of Texas, with the support of Frank Buckles, then the last living US veteran of World War I, proposed a bill in Congress stating the memorial should be expanded and designated the national memorial to World War I.

In fact, in the Ducktales episode " Till Nephews do we part " she and Poe can be seen attending ( and being invited guests to ) Scrooge's wedding.

Because Poe used to be an anthropomorphic duck, he is capable of speech and can interact with the other characters.

In addition to having his name be a reference to the Edgar Allan Poe poem " The Raven ", Poe often ends his stanzas with the word " nevermore ".

After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans.

Poe moved back with the Allans to Richmond, Virginia in 1820.

During his time there, Poe lost touch with Royster and also became estranged from his foster father over gambling debts.

Poe gave up on the university after a year, and, not feeling welcome in Richmond, especially when he learned that his sweetheart Royster had married Alexander Shelton, he traveled to Boston in April 1827, sustaining himself with odd jobs as a clerk and newspaper writer.

Before entering West Point, Poe moved back to Baltimore for a time, to stay with his widowed aunt Maria Clemm, her daughter, Virginia Eliza Clemm ( Poe's first cousin ), his brother Henry, and his invalid grandmother Elizabeth Cairnes Poe.
