There's some posting on a history page about what ages the last 20th century vets of WW2 the Cold War, the *U.S. Culture Wars will live to. It goes:
"I think that last WW2 veteran dies in the 2020's."
"Last Nazi Concentration Camp survivor might live until 2040. How old youngest ones? If we suppose that youngest has born in 1945 and was newborn baby when released, they might survive to early 2040's."
"Last Nazi Concentration Camp survivor might live until 2040. How old youngest ones? If we suppose that youngest has born in 1945 and was newborn baby when released, they might survive to early 2040's."
These dates based on "longest living" as some live to be 100+ or more now.
"Last Korean Veteran: Perhaps to the late 2020's.
Last Vietnam Veteran: If 18 when sent home in '73 probably to the 2040's to 2050.
Last person who lived during Cold War: Likely to the early 22nd century.

Last Soviet citizen, USSR/CCCP fell in 1989: Survivors will live to sometime in the 2090's
Last East German/DDR citizen: sometime in the 80's up to 2090.

*(...I imagine Uncle Sidney as a vet of the Great American Culture Wars 1964-present may hang around till 2025-30,...maybe even 2035 or so if I really lay off sugar.)
...that, and I'm looking forward to free tuition for the kids, and 3D TV.
