Yep, sad to think about.

Around 1,100 per day last I heard.

RIP and thank you, Sir.

Only about 700K remain of the ~16M who served. Losing them at almost 1.3K per day. Simple math is all but a few guarding Heaven — or elsewhere for a limited number — in a couple of years. My WWII Navy combat vet uncle in 2003, and my WWII Army combat vet father in 2011 (Christmas Eve). Both, with their wives, rest at ANC.
