Of the 2.7 Million of Americans who served in Vietnam approximately 57,000 were killed. It is estimated that out of those survivors less than 900,000 are alive today. This is stark contrast to the US census figures and VFW magazine polls showing that 13,853,027 Americans claim to be Vietnam Veterans. Four out of Five of those who claim to be Vietnam Veterans are not.

how many wwii u.s. veterans are still alive
Approximately 4 million (3.9 million) Korean War veterans. The problem with this particular data is that MOST of the veterans of the Korean War were also veterans of WW2. The reason was Korea occurred only 5 years after WW2. During those days a man's military obligation was six years (today it's 8 years); consequently a serviceman could end up fighting in WW2 and the Korean War within one enlistment (or one obligation tour). WW2 & Korea were the only US wars of the 20th century that had this over-lapping effect. An effect that caused statistical complications & making Korea the "Forgotten War." A Veteran of both WW2 & Korea would invariably discuss his WW2 experience to an historian, but would usually just quickly gloss over his Korean War experience with a "...oh yeah, I fought in Korea too..." The result; Korea became the "Forgotten War."
