Veterans on Life Support
By

The only known remaining American World War I veteran is Frank Buckles, 107, living in Charles Town, West Virginia. Of the millions of World War II veterans only several thousand are still with us. Many of the Korean War veterans are also dwindling in numbers. Most of the Vietnam veterans are baby boomers and approaching 60 and older. Thankfully, the younger veterans from the 1980’s to present will be with us for some time in the future.
