There no more WWI veterans left, WWII vets are dying at the rate of 273 a day, I run into Viet Nam War veterans all the time, I personally thank them for their service. The Viet Nam War draft ended when I was still in HS, we were all terrified of going to Viet Nam.. My wife Cindi's dad was an 81st Airborne guy. Honoring All Those Who Served today.
