Where can you find Vietnam veterns who were in the war with y father?
1. The Vietnam War was the LAST war in which servicemen were issued a SERIAL NUMBER. Having your father's serial number would help your research; most US Servicemen from Vietnam will have TWO numbers-SSN & Serial #. Go by the SSN; but the serial number will assist you; Vietnam was a transitional period for the military. 2. Contact the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America); this is vet organization, the same as the VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, etc. The VVA was founded by Viet War vets; the VFW was founded by Spanish-American War vets in 1899; the Legion was founded by WW1 vets in 1919; and the AMVETS were founded by WW2 vets in 1944. 3. Each Unit (Division, Regiment, Squadron, Battalion) normally has a website. When you find out which UNIT your father was in, go to that site.
When will the last Vietnam veteran die?
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.
