Anyone regardless of rank, branch of service, or jobspeciality, who served in country or in the waters off the coast and were awarded a Vietnam campaign ribbon indicating that they did so is a Vietnam veteran, regardless of the job they performed. The guy who was a chaplain's assistant, cook or clerk typist etc, who served there is a Vietnam veteran just as the combat veteran.
None. Florence Green - a British national - is the only surviving veteran of WWI, at the age of 110. The last American veteran of World War I - Frank Woodruff Buckles - died February 27, 2011, also at the age of 110.
There are still many survivors of WWII, but the last surviving veteran was ---- Patch (I can't remember his first name). He lived in Berkhamsted, UK until he died.
