There are no surviving US Veterans of World War 1 now. Think about it most of them were born in 1899. They would be 111 years old if they were alive today.

The last surviving slave may never be found. However, the last living slave that has verifiable proof is Eliza Moore (1843 - 1948).
The last surviving World War I veteran was Florence Green, a British woman who served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She passed away on February 4, 2012, at the age of 110. Her death marked the end of an era, as she was the last known person who had served in the war, which officially ended in 1918. Florence Green is remembered for her contributions and the unique perspective she provided on the experiences of women in the military during that time.

"Patch was, withClaude Choules, one of the last two surviving British veterans of the First World War, and along with Frank Buckles and John Babcock, one of the last four worldwide."
