Yes, my grandfather was in WW2. He flew bomber planes. He was born in 1922 and yes, he is still alive and the best person I know!
What Is The Average Age Of A WW2 Vet?
My great grandpa died at the age of 82 in 1998. This march, he would have been 92. If there's a ww2 vet alive, he must be around his 90s today. My grandfather was off to war at 18, he said.
They say WW II vets are dying off at 1000 per day in the U.S. My cousin, a Navy Seabee like me, just died last week at 89 (90 in Sept.)
