Time marches on. Most of them are in their 80's - 90's.
If you know one, talk to him.

I still get all watery eyed thinking about how there are no civil war vets walking around. Don't get me started on the American Revolution.
Seriously, what in the frick are you talking about? Time passes. People die.

My grandfather is one. Just made 90. Has two purple hearts and was in two major battles. Sad part is he has demnsa, aND is having some ptsd reoccurring. He has just now started telling us stories about what he witnessed. The worst being concentration camps and seeing the pits they dug with all the dead bodies in it. Wish he could live his final years not having to relive those moments when he is having a bad day.

The last WW1 vet died recently. We will still have WW2 vets around for another 20 years.

Our family had the privilege of sitting 2 rows behind 2 WWII veterans at the Marines Officer Candidate School Graduation in Quantico, VA on Saturday. I told my son it may be the last time he would be in the presence of 2 WWII veterans.

Had the privilege of having dinner with one Saturday night - most decorated officer of the 82nd Airborne and a true American hero of the highest order. He's about to turn 100. When this guy speaks, you listen. He has an amazing presence about him.
He was at Anzio, Battle of the Bulge, and Operation Market Garden. He singlehandedly took out a German Panzer tank. He has earned a Distinguished Service Cross, 2 Silver Stars, 2 Bronze Stars, 2 Purple Hearts, and is nominated for the Medal of Honor.
