At 77, with lots of VA health care, I'm aiming to live to 100. 23 more years, having been born right after the end of World War 2, as a young boy, I sat on many a World War 2 veteran's lap (they were young guys then), while listening to their personal war stories, and admiring their military tattoos on thier arms.Not sure anything in 1941 would be a "current event" or "latest news", but get used to the new normal. the WWII vets are almost all gone. They will be relegated to the ranks of the veterans of 1812, the civil war, and WWI. The Grim Reaper seems to be picking up the pace on Korean War veterans as well. Just how it works.
The World War 2 vets may be gone (mostly), but the kids of the post-war era live on and will for some time to come. World War 2 is not forgotten one bit, and is a current event every year on December 7th ("a day that will liv in infamy").
