He is a Vietnam Era Veteran.
As of October 2023, the oldest Vietnam veteran is typically in their late 70s to early 80s, given that the Vietnam War ended in 1975. While specific ages can vary, many veterans from that conflict would have been born in the early 1950s or late 1940s. Therefore, the oldest veterans could be around 80 to 85 years old. However, there is no definitive record of the single oldest veteran, as this can change frequently.
All of them!
It means Vietnam vet (veteran).
No particular individual defined the term. A veteran, in this sense, means someone who served in a particular conflict, Vietnam in this case.
Assuming an 18-year old was in Vietnam in April, 1973 when the last U.S. combat forces left Vietnam, he might live to be 90 years old in 2045. Most Vietnam vets have turned 65, or will turn 65 in the next five years.
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.
