Only 5 years separates a Korean War vet from a WWII vet; the vast majority of WWII soldiers, marines, sailors, and especially pilots fought in Korea. Today an 80 year old man might be a Korean War veteran...and/or a WWII veteran. Vietnam vets would be in their late 50's by now. Many Vietnam War NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers/Sergeants) & OFFICERS in Vietnam had fought in WWII and/or Korea. The US commanders in Vietnam; GENs Harkins, Westmoreland, and Abrams all fought under GEN Patton during WWII (Westmoreland fought at the Hurtzgen Forest with the 9th ID in WWII).
