Donna,
I think the same thing about the vanishing WW2 Vets. Assuming a minimum of 18 years old in 1944, the youngest today would be 98. Of course there were those that lied about their age. The estimate I heard was less than 1% remain alive.
My father would never speak of of his history. When I asked what he did to be awarded the Bronze Star all he would ever say is "I stayed alive". Many years after his passing, at his older brother's 80th birthday, I learned from him just what kind of hero my father was.
