I also found this: "On the ground, 2,709,918 Americans served and fought in Vietnam. Of the 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam, less than 850,000 are estimated to be alive today, with the youngest American Vietnam veteran's age approximated to be 54 years old."
It is remarkable, I'd say, that there are two Viet Nam battlefield commissioned men on this board. Maybe more?

Not sure when that was written but someone who is 54 years old today would have been 13 years old when the war ended and 15 when the last Americans were evacuated from Saigon.
