Title: Maybe the last of the ww1 veterans died at 113 years of age
Post by: Khalee1 on July 18, 2009, 09:27:54 pm

Anyone Know of any one here in the states still around.  And when do you think the last ww2 vet will pass on another 30 or 40 years maybe?. Sad the way people are acting today they forgot what these people did for us. If the other side had won our lives would be very differant today.

I know a couple of WWII vets, but no WWI.

I do agree that it's sad that these people are forgotten the way they are.  We can blame pop culture and our ADD society for that.
