The average would be around 60-65. The youngest Viet War vet might be around 52 years old. Since the war ended in '75, some US Marines/Airmen/Sailors were 17 years old when they helped evacuate Saigon during it's fall in April '75. Many of the older Viet War vets, the WWII generation have passed on: GEN Curtis LeMay, Creighton Abrams, William Westermoreland, Robin Olds, to name a few. These men were in their 40's when they fought in Vietnam. It's interesting to note, that the Vietnam War was fought by WWII doctrine and tactics, because Vietnam was "conducted" by WWII veterans. Today's Viet Vets (the 60ish group) were teenage and early twenties privates fighting under WWII veteran's supervision.
