    ALBANY – One lament of local veterans groups is that there has been little new blood coming in to fill the ranks.

    Out of the more than 16 million American veterans who served in World War II, only about 100,000 are still alive in 2024. And the average age of Korean War veterans is in the 80s, and for Vietnam War vets the average age is in the 70s.
