As of September 30th, 2011, there are roughly 2,889,000 WWII veterans alive in the USA according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Worldwide, there are about 5,250,000 still around as of late 2011.
The global numbers of surviving WWII veterans tend to vary, since it is difficult to tabulate exact numbers globally. According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, there are approximately 1,981,000 WWII veterans remaining in the United States.
On a slightly more sad yet unsurprising note, there are only two confirmed veterans of WWI remaining, both British. The last American World War I veteran, Frank Buckles, passed away in February of 2011.
